IMS Brings Powerful Job Scheduling Software

December 10th, 2010

IMS, the famous end- to-end provider of software solution for service based industry, now brings a powerful job scheduling software. This job software allows the users to schedule work to the employees or technicians easily. It saves time and increases productivity as there is no need to explain the task to the employees by making telephone calls or doing any paper work.

The users of IMS job software can schedule the task of their resources easily by directly dropping and dragging the tasks on the calendar. They can view the tasks of some selected resources or check out the schedules of the entire work force. If there is a need to interchange a task between different employees or resize the task size to change the time of start and finish, it can be easily done by dragging and dropping. The software allows to adjust the calendar according to the preference of the user such as moving around the side panels, selecting the displayed resources, adjusting the zoom, etc. to ascertain that better scheduling can be performed.

Almost 80% of i-man customers belong to the industry of plumbing and electrical based business. Jason Tait, the director of Advantage Plumbing is quite happy by using the IMS software. He signed up with i-man and within 24 hours he got the benefit by getting rid of huge paperwork. He is using it as Plumbing software to track jobs and assigning them to his resources easily. He said that “The biggest benefit is the turnaround in revenue.”

Apart from a plumbing software, this IMS solution is applicable in various work field as it can effortlessly save time of the users. “It is the primary responsibility of our software solutions is to deliver quicker services as they utilize the real time systems for the purpose of dispatching jobs, documenting work performed and closes off jobs from site, to initiate the billing process at the earliest,” says the owner of i-man.

SOA Software Releases IBM IMS Transformation Product

September 10th, 2010

SOA Software, a SOA and Cloud Services Governance vendor, announced SOLA for IMS, a legacy modernization solution that transforms IMS applications into enterprise services, allowing the mainframe to be a full participant in a Service Oriented Architecture enabled environment.

According to a release, SOLA is a mainframe Service Oriented Architecture solution that turns the mainframe into a seamless part of an SOA enabled environment. SOLA provides customers with a way to expose mainframe applications as secure, high-performance enterprise services and allows mainframe applications to consume Web Services. The SOLA runtime environment resides on the mainframe, eliminating the need for middleware.

“Many Fortune 1000 companies use IMS,” said Jim Crew, Vice President of SOA Software. “This product extends existing investments and provides growth opportunities for IMS applications that can be reused in new business initiatives.”

SOLA for IMS runs independently of transaction management software, making it ideal for IMS-only environments. SOLA for IMS handles IMS transactions written in COBOL, PL/I or Natural, with multiple input and output segments. SOLA’s orchestration capabilities allow multiple IMS transactions to be executed on a single trip to the mainframe. SOLA for IMS can also service-enable DB2 stored procedures and SQL statements.

SOLA is highly optimized, making it the most efficient option for service-enabling mainframe transactions. Much of SOLA is written in assembler language.

SOLA is a Governed Service Platform, making it fully governable by SOA Software products like Policy Manager and Service Manager.

SOA Software Announces IBM IMS Transformation Product

September 1st, 2010

SOA Software, a leading SOA and Cloud Services Governance vendor, today announced SOLA for IMS, a legacy modernization solution that transforms IMS applications into high-quality, high-performance enterprise services, allowing the mainframe to be a full participant in an Service Oriented Architecture enabled environment.

SOLA is a comprehensive mainframe Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) solution that cost effectively turns the mainframe into a seamless part of an SOA enabled environment. SOLA provides customers with a fast and easy way to expose mainframe applications as secure, high-performance enterprise services and allows mainframe applications to consume Web Services. Using SOLA, customers can leverage millions of dollars of existing mainframe investments as part of their enterprise SOA environment. The SOLA runtime environment resides entirely on the mainframe, eliminating the need for expensive, unreliable and unnecessary middleware. Coupled with SOLA’s Development Studio, this vastly increases developer productivity, providing faster time to market and lower application development cost.

“Many Fortune 1000 companies use IMS,” said Jim Crew, Vice President of SOA Software. “This product extends existing investments and provides growth opportunities for IMS applications that can be reused in new business initiatives.”

SOLA for IMS runs independently of any transaction management software, making it ideal for IMS-only environments. SOLA for IMS handles IMS transactions written in COBOL, PL/I or Natural, with multiple input and output segments. SOLA for IMS also allows any mainframe program to easily consume services. SOLA’s orchestration capabilities allow multiple IMS transactions to be executed on a single trip to the mainframe, vastly reducing latency. SOLA for IMS can also service-enable DB2 stored procedures and SQL statements.

SOLA is highly optimized, making it the most efficient option for service-enabling mainframe transactions. Much of SOLA is written in assembler language, so the SOLA runtime offers lower MSU consumption and higher throughput than alternatives that use Java and rely on zAAP specialty engines.

Unlike alternative solutions that only offer one or two components of mainframe SOA, SOLA offers a comprehensive SOA solution, further reducing TCO. SOLA eliminates the need to integrate multiple mainframe and distributed products/platforms to create enterprise-class services. SOLA is a Governed Service Platform, making it fully governable by SOA Software products like Policy Manager and Service Manager.

Innovative SOLA features such as One-Click service creation and an easy to use drag-and-drop interface deliver the only secure, standards-based and governable SOA product in the mainframe industry. SOLA provides end-to-end SOA governance for the mainframe with WS-Security, WS-Policy, optimized registry, integrated monitoring, logging, auditing and near limitless scalability, all implemented on the mainframe. This makes SOLA the only solution for companies seeking secure, high-volume, mission-critical mainframe SOA. SOLA is the only product proven in enterprise implementations to handle high volume (10 million+) transactions per day in mission-critical mainframe SOA environments.
