February 2008-
As business requirements continue to accelerate, the ability of existing data integration technologies to solve those requirements lags appreciably behind. In an effort to address this issue, vendors have been frantically retooling their platforms and/or buying "complementary technologies" to help them stay afloat. Unfortunately, these incremental improvements and bolt-on solutions have not been successful in resolving the core problem. What is needed is a fundamental shift in the way that data integration projects are approached. ....

Top 5 Myths of Screen Scraping
[ Source: Seagull Software ]
June 2008-
Many organizations with mainframe, System i or OpenVMS applications still ask their employees to use green-screen (or text-based) user interfaces to work with essential business information. Green-screens are a business problem and a technology problem. They're unappealing, hard to learn, intimidating, and accessible only with terminal emulation software. They’re also incompatible with modern application integration methods like Web services and SOA.
The appeal of screen-scraping is understandable — it's simple and inexpensive. But many ....

September 2009-
OPC tunneling software allows the secure transfer of process data, even across multiple firewalls, Network Address Translators (NAT) and WAN networks. By not securely transmitting process data, companies expose process control networks to potential cyber attacks which can disrupt production, compromise safety, and cause significant financial losses for companies. This paper addresses the issues and challenges of using DCOM when deploying OPC technology and presents an alternative solution that addresses the industrial end-user requirements.
