Attachmate South Africa has announced the local availability of myEXTRA! Presentation Services v.7.1, an all-in-one host access, data integration, and presentation solution.
myEXTRA! Presentation Services provides organisations with traditional desktop emulation, browser-based emulation, customised emulation, and centralised management and control in a single solution. The product allows organisations to meet their current host access needs with full-featured desktop and browser-based legacy access, as well as achieve long-term user presentation objectives, data integration and Web service development.
"What sets myEXTRA! Presentation Services apart is that it combines an array of legacy access and presentation capabilities into one solution that supports not only traditional emulation - still vitally important to organisations - but also emerging Web services and integration standards," says Theo Fourie, Attachmate South Africa country manager. "There are no limitations for companies, whether they are dealing with XML, J2EE or .Net."
Emulation clients in myEXTRA! Presentation Services span host system access for IBM mainframe, AS/400, Tandem and Unix/VMS systems.
Users can customise and integrate business data and logic, accelerate the development of new applications, and extend access to more users need it. "Taking advantage of existing business assets is a smart approach, especially in today`s business world," says Fourie. "For example, customers who are using the tools in myEXTRA! Presentation Services are seeing nearly immediate business returns when they implement new Web-based applications."
myEXTRA! Presentation Services v7.1 highlights:
* Supports latest technology standards: myEXTRA! Enterprise supports the latest technology standards, earning the Designed for Windows XP and Windows 2000 Certified designations. As a Microsoft certified .Net Connected solution, myEXTRA! Enterprise also goes beyond traditional host access and extends the reach of enterprise desktops to consume host-based tasks such as XML, JavaBeans and Web services.
* Central management of enterprise emulation: myEXTRA! Management and Control Services (MCS) allows organisations centrally to store, configure, and deploy enterprise emulation clients and software updates, and enables administrators to manage desktop clients and other myEXTRA! components from a single, Web-based console. The ability to manage desktop, browser-based, and custom host access clients from a central location reduces total cost of ownership.
* Browser-based emulation: myEXTRA! Terminal Viewers provide secure, browser-based access to a variety of enterprise host systems, and are available as either Java or ActiveX client applets. To simplify administrative tasks, client applets can be installed directly at the desktop, or can be centrally configured and downloaded from myEXTRA! MCS.
* Customised emulation: Without touching any host code, myEXTRA!`s drag-and-drop tools allow developers to implement simple legacy-to-HTML conversion on-the-fly, or build entirely new application workflows and customise all user interface elements. This enables organisations to streamline workflow and create new, more productive ways of working with current legacy applications.
"With myEXTRA! Presentation Services, Attachmate is using its two decades of experience with emerging technologies to enable customers to create new solutions from legacy information," adds Fourie. "This is vital for any organisation looking to sweat its assets while participating in new and exciting paradigms."
