Getting from Here to There: A Roadmap to CICS Web Services for SOA

Exposing CICS processes as reusable business services may seem like a daunting task. Yet your CICS applications are a perfect place to begin the migration to SOA.

During this recorded KnowledgeCast, Seagull Software and IBM review proven tools and methods that are designed to give you a roadmap for your first project, and a foundation for ongoing evolution to SOA.

Guest presenter Steve Wood from IBMs Hursley lab discusses how CICS Transaction Server V3.1 fits into a SOA, and de-mystifies the composition of CICS applications into reusable business services.

Seagull Software provides practical advice for accelerating the migration of existing applications on any version of CICS to SOA.
