Built for rapid development of production-ready services, Ivory Studio is an intuitive tool that enables mainframe developers to leverage any mainframe transaction, application or data in creating single- or multifunction composite services. Unlike other methods, only composite services allow the development of business services that encompass mainframe transactions, data and application logic. The key is identifying the true business service that is hidden beneath the green screen, COMMAREA or IMS mainframe application.
Simple to learn and operate, Ivory Studio's graphical environment empowers developers, allowing them to easily orchestrate function-specific building-blocks into ready-to-deploy business services. Using the drag-and-drop environment, developers define web service inputs and outputs, and then graphically model the multi-step process to implement the composite service. Developers need little or no training to become experts in this critical role.
Code-free service orchestration not only means enhanced developer productivity, but also translates into faster time to deployment, reduced maintenance costs, improved governance, and system portability. And because Ivory Service Architect doesn’t rely on generating code to build services, developers deploy the services where it makes sense — where they perform at the highest levels.
