Webify Solutions Brings SOA to the Mainframe With Support for IBM zSeries; Webify’s Products Demonstrate Massive Scalability and Native Mainframe Interoperability

AUSTIN, Texas, May 2 - Webify Solutions, a leading provider of vertical service-oriented business software for healthcare, insurance and banking, today announced that the Webify Industry Fabric and Webify SOBAs are now available for IBM z/OS, which runs on the IBM zSeries mainframes. Insurance, banking and healthcare companies with mainframes can now improve business agility, streamline operations and accelerate innovation without replacing their current infrastructure. By taking advantage of Webify Solutions on z mainframes, customers can quickly deploy modern service- oriented business applications that allow them to succeed in a business climate that demands globalization, regulation, integration and business flexibility.

"We're committed to making companies more agile and competitive without having to rip and replace their past IT investments," said Manoj Saxena, CEO of Webify Solutions. "A majority of our customers have invested time and money into mainframe infrastructure and COBOL and CICS based applications for handling extremely demanding business process. Webify products allow them to source and run their legacy application investments as massively scalable business services that can be assembled and reused alongside best of breed modern applications."

The Webify Industry Fabric virtualizes the business and application layer of IT assets, creating a flexible and adaptive ecosystem of loosely coupled service-oriented business applications (SOBA). Webify Industry Fabric for IBM's zSeries extends the benefits of SOA to companies with mainframe platforms. Now companies can more easily integrate new distributed applications with legacy mainframe applications. Webify is the only solution on the market that addresses the entire Business Services Lifecycle -- from sourcing, assembly, delivery and management of business services. Customers now have a fast, easy way to expose mainframe applications as Web services and allow mainframe applications to consume those Web services without additional hardware, software or coding.

The Webify Industry Fabric and SOBAs are multiplatform products, available for mainframe, Intel-based and IBM power series-based hardware. The solutions reduce application development time and allow companies to experience the benefits of SOA faster. In recent performance tests, Webify Industry Fabric was able to successfully scale up linearly to 388m transactions per day and with varying message sizes ranging from 1k to 1MB.

This announcement builds on Webify's strategic partnership with IBM. The two companies have a strong partnership which resulted in a joint customer win of over $100 million last year in the insurance market and plan to extend the partnership into other industries as well. As part of their overall SOA strategy, IBM has also signed a reseller agreement with Webify to drive innovation and improve business flexibility and business process transformation through service-oriented business applications.
