OpenConnect Offers Organizations ROI Roadmap for Mainframe-to-SOA Enablement; Calculate the ROI of Moving Mainframe Assets to SOA



DALLAS, Feb. 6 / -- OpenConnect Systems, Inc., delivering technology solutions that turn mainframe assets into business value, announced a new offering to provide organizations with a quick, cost-effective means to understand the return on investment (ROI) and productivity gains possible when transitioning mainframe assets to service-oriented architectures (SOAs). The new bundled offering comprises professional services and a limited-term license for the company's new flagship product line, soaSolution.

"Understanding patterns of application usage and critical system interdependencies is important to discovering what existing functions and information could potentially be targeted for services in an SOA," said Sandra Rogers, program director, SOA, web services, and integration research, IDC. "The ability to monitor and analyze mainframe assets with tools such as OpenConnect's soaComprehend solution can help facilitate understanding the detailed scenarios that users are engaging these systems."

"This is an attractive option for companies with a range of needs because it eliminates the guesswork," said Stuart H. Burris, Jr., chief technology officer, OpenConnect. "We are seeing demand from those companies considering a move to SOA and want to ensure they get it right, to those that have already lost time and money creating services that did not match users' requirements." At the end of a two-week soaNow engagement, OpenConnect provides organizations with the ROI analysis, identifying target transactions and applications, including details on specific mainframe conversations users are having and how long they are lasting. The analysis specifies business processes that will benefit most from SOA enablement and projections for associated productivity gains and cost savings. Organizations can determine which applications to SOA-enable first.
