Organizations using the Customer Information Control System - CICS - enjoy the reliability, performance characteristics, control, security, and stability of the platform and its existing applications. Because of the often mission-critical role of CICS applications, organizations generally wish to reuse and extend them to support new business initiatives. Yet, achieving such reuse can often mean massive upgrades that reach down to the operating system level and require multi-month/year impact planning followed by multi-month/year deployments. Additionally, typical vendor solutions necessitate stacks of numerous products to be developed in silos to create a single solution. This increases project risk as disparate products often lack a cohesive architecture and pre-certified testing.

Metastorm Integration Manager for CICS (MIM for CICS) reduces your risk and increases the speed of service enabling CICS applications. It provides:

• Tools to rapidly create services which support and extend CICS functions
• Native support inside the CICS environment without requiring external application services or complex additional infrastructures
• Process-centric approach to designing business integration
