You might be wondering...

Can I create a native z/OS browser interface?

Yes, GateWAY z/OS is the only product that allows you to build (or port) a standard web browser interface. GateWAY z/OS provides a mainframe-based web server that is light weight yet provides the services that web developers expect. Our express install, complete starter set functions, and help from experienced browser staff get you started fast with a tested and executed plan for success.

Working in conjunction with your staff, we can often get a demonstration interface together in a week or so. Then we can get on to planning and delivering the customized experience you want for your end users.

Eliminate the use of an intermediate Windows or Linux server?

No, GateWAY z/OS eliminates the need for an external Windows or Linux server. As a result, mainframe client staff do not have to provision, setup, and support a new system which may be foreign to them. You can achieve simpler packaging and distribution as GateWay z/OS can be bundled within your existing mainframe install process. An additional benefit is that browser response time is perceptibly faster by eliminating the intermediate hop.

Can I use my standard z/OS security?

Yes, GateWAY z/OS works with RACF, ACF/2 and TSS but can even allow you to implement Multi Factor Authentication (MFA). GateWAY z/OS provides MFA for your new browser interface and can help you implement the same thing in your existing 3270 interface via partnership with New Era Software.

How about integrating with my existing Rexx scripts, TSO / ISPF functions and tables?

Yes, GateWAY z/OS functions can help you reutilize existing functionality. Minor recoding to replace Vgets / Vputs with HTML displays and other imbedded features, greatly reducing the recoding effort otherwise required. Structured modifications will allow you to have a single set of these routines (as you have now) that will support both 3270 and your new browser interface eliminating redundant effort in the future.

Connect to Cloud and other platforms?

Yes, GateWAY z/OS provides real time connection with tools and services residing in the Cloud; like Windows, and Linux and of course z/OS. For instance, you may have a need to interchange information with change control systems such as ServiceNow, BMC Remedy, or DevOps tools, such as GIT. GateWAY z/OS provides a standard call via our REST APIs to allow real-time communication with most web services. This provides a high speed, bidirectional link allowing information to be shared and acted upon. Integration skills and working examples can be provided as part of our consulting services to ensure connection to external processes can be achieved quickly and easily. This can also play a significant role implementing a ZOWE compatible architecture for existing mainframe tools.

Do you supply web development skills and consulting?

Yes, We can supply the technical help for planning, design, coding testing QA, and implementation. You know your application and users. We can supply skilled designers and coders, best practices, and all the technical components to help you create the right user experience. However, you will make decisions on how you want the interface to react in support of your users. We can provide a focus on quick delivery, utilizing an iterative approach to deliver the highest customer satisfaction.

As time goes on the interface will likely have to evolve to fit changing requirements. We expect to work with your development and support teams, doing the appropriate level of skills transfer, to ensure that you are self-sufficient and can adapt the interface as needed to meet future needs.
