Serena Software brings business mashups to mainframe application release process

A Broadening of Perspectives ? It?s a Good Thing: As a fellow blogger for Software AG?s Modern(ized) Insights (http://blog.softwareag.com/?cat=7), it?s great to run across news and articles that showcase a broadening of perspectives when it comes to the mainframe. While there?s still a great deal of application maintenance performed on green screen applications, there?s an ongoing shift to transform green screen applications to browser-based applications that have Web 2.0 capabilities. Case in point is the availability of Software AG?s Natural for AJAX product (http://www.softwareag.com/Corporate/products/natural/rich_appl/default.asp) to do just that. Clearly, mainframes offer a wealth of capabilities that make them ideal platforms for today?s demanding users ? not the least of which is unbeatable reliability, best-in-class security, and the gold standard in virtualization. It?s likely one of the major reasons ISVs such as Serena Software and Software AG still remain committed to providing mainframe solutions.; Posted by: sandra.wade@...
