Business
Intelligence
If the
client application you're developing or connecting to is a
business intelligence application, you should consider CCA
Analytics. CCA Analytics is a powerful new business intelligence
solution that helps users analyze their data resources and
ultimately make better business decisions. With CCA Analytics,
users can explore their data, slice and dice as needed, ask
questions never before considered, and do it all on demand
and without the need for IT assistance. The CCA Analytics'
client runs on Windows platforms and is connected to the server
using CCA's Connect* technology.
Enterprise
Integration
If your
connectivity needs involve sharing information from existing,
separate applications, you may be considering a business integration
software solution. IBM
WebSphere MQ is the market-leader in this
space and seamlessly connects all your business software together
by providing an open, scalable, industrial-strength messaging
backbone. It supports over 35 different operating platforms
whose associated applications can easily exchange information
via message queues. CCA provides an interface to WebSphere
MQ called MQ/204, which allows Model 204 applications to share
information with just about any other application on the network
-- without impacting the existing applications.
If WebSphere
MQ is not at the center of your enterprise integration strategy,
you should consider CCA's External Call Facility (ECF), a
new User Language feature in Model 204. With ECF, you can
invoke external processes written in any host-based language
that can in turn, invoke other programs and processes. This
new feature ultimately enables you to integrate Model 204
with nearly any application on the network.
Furthermore,
if you have installed a different message queuing system than
IBM's WebSphere MQ, you can use ECF to easily develop your
own interface to that platform.
So whether
you're developing new client/server or Web applications, or
simply trying to share information among existing apps, CCA
provides targeted, efficient solutions that help you continue
benefitting from the power of Model 204 without isolating
your Model 204 applications from the rest of the enterprise.
