Over the past five years, there has been significant discussion in the marketplace regarding mainframe Web services. Mainframe integration through Web services have been a major force in eliminating old stereotypes regarding the demise of the mainframe. Media pundits and industry analysts are no longer talking about a diminished role, in the future, for the mainframe platform. Leading software vendors like GT Software have helped shape a new role for the mainframe in enterprise computing. Where the mainframe was previously locked away in the ivory towers of the enterprise data center, it is now at the forefront of the integration and services revolution. Simply put, the mainframe is the driving force for integration and service-oriented architecture (SOA) projects around the globe.
Leading the mainframe integration transformation into a SOA powerhouse is Ivory Service Architect.
