Intelligent Service Enablement for COBOL Applications
How can you use your IT functions to better support your business processes? The answer to this question is: Service-oriented architectures enable IT to close the gap between business processes and “traditional data processing.” However: flexible, reusable services do not just pop out of thin air! They have to be developed and maintained. You therefore have to bring together different architectures, development paradigms, languages and platforms:

Generating is better than programming - SCORE Adaptive Bridges delivers easy and efficient Service Enablement |
| Process-oriented |
 |
Data-oriented |
| Business processes |
 |
Database transactions |
| Loose coupling |
 |
Tight coupling |
| Stateless consumer |
 |
Stateful provider |
| User-controlled |
 |
Application-controlled |
These pairs of terms make clear that the scope is broader than just interface transformation and connectivity. What is needed is a sustainable interaction between the architectural concepts. The increasing pace of business process development, the size and complexity of the existing core applications, as well as the high demands regarding security and quality – these all call for a methodical approach with the highest possible degree of automation for the development of services.
Services Don‘t Just Pop Out of Thin Air
They have to be developed and maintained! With SCORE Adaptive Bridges you can quickly and securely provide your mission-critical core applications as real services for new applications.
“Our experiences with SCORE
Adaptive Bridges during the prototype and pilot phase proved true as we begun
scaling to the actual project size – 60 developers, 30.000 modules and
12.000.000 lines of code. SCORE Adaptive Bridges really does an excellent job.“
Robert Koch, CIO, Suva Schweiz
