ATLANTA - 02 March 2006

Seagull Software (AEX: SEAGULL), a leading provider of high-performance solutions that transform legacy business applications into service-oriented architecture (SOA) assets, announced that it will be presenting and exhibiting its mainframe Web services solutions at the 2006 SHARE User conference beginning Sunday, March 5 – 10 in Seattle, Washington.

Charles Jones, Seagull Software’s Mainframe Solutions Architect, will host a speaker session Monday, March 6 at 3:00 PT. His speaking topic is entitled, “SOA Performance and Architecture Considerations for CICS”.

The speaker session takes an in-depth look at various architecture options available to transform CICS applications into an SOA, based on the premise that a 'one size fits all' solution for migrating mainframe applications to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) does not exist. Best practices and integration techniques are explored. Additionally, the performance implications of various CICS APIs and connectivity options will be analyzed.

SHARE was established in 1955 to form the first organization for computing professionals. The conference has become synonymous with high-quality, user-driven education and resources to make enterprise computing specialists more effective professionals. SHARE now encompasses over 2,000 IBM enterprise customers among its membership ranks. SHARE's total membership represents more than 20,000 individual computing specialists. As an independent and financially self-sufficient organization, SHARE has a close partnership with IBM as well as other leading vendors.
