MQSeries and the Internet

For most companies, the reality of information systems is a mix of old and new technologies,

with tried-and-tested systems co-existing with dynamic new innovations like the Web.

Unfortunately, making these systems work well together can be costly and time-consuming.

MQSeries simplifies communication between applications running on identical or different hard-

ware platforms across networks. MQSeries leverages your company’s in-house skills and makes

them even more valuable across multiple platforms. Whether you are connecting your applica-

tion with older legacy systems, developing a client/server solution or distributing your software

onto other platforms, MQSeries is a necessary part of your solution. MQSeries lets you:

• integrate your trusted, in-production systems with new developments like e-business

and Web servers

• develop and roll-out new enterprise-wide applications faster and more cost-effectively,

without having to write complex communication code

• free up application development resources - let your staff focus on serving the business,

not fixing connectivity problems

• connect up your supply chain - put suppliers, partners and customers in contact to save

money and improve service

• seamlessly connect powerful ERP-type applications such as SAP R/3 to new and

existing systems

• pull together distributed information resources to build powerful data warehousing, data

mart and decision support applications

• build secure, high-performance mobile-enabled information networks to support dynamic

global business operations

• use important new technologies like message brokers and publish-and-subscribe engines to

build state-of-the-art information delivery systems
