Red Oak Software Announces Availability of Unisys Integrator

UTS Capability Adds to Application Integration Framework Portfolio of Leading J2EE Programmatic Integration Solutions

MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 2003--Red Oak Software, Inc. (www.redoaksw.com) announces the general availability of Unisys Integrator(TM), the industry's most advanced Java programmatic solution for Unisys legacy systems application integration. Designed specifically to enable production host applications to be programmatically automated, Unisys Integrator can be the crucial element in any integration project where Unisys applications are an important component.

Consisting of a high-level abstracted API, Runtime Environment and adapters, Unisys Integrator is written entirely in Java and has been specifically designed for server-based implementation. The resulting solutions take full advantage of the benefits of server-based applications (centralized access and management, etc.) and enable seamless connectivity and non-invasive integration with all Unisys UTS legacy application systems.

The power of this unique technology is its innovative approach and the resource leverage it provides for integrating UTS-based applications. Unisys Integrator incorporates a straightforward, high-level API, which can easily automate the steps necessary for bi-directional communication with the host system. Access to all program logic and data is provided, regardless of where that essential data resides - without requiring any changes to the underlying application. The Runtime Environment has been designed for fast, highly efficient and scaleable execution of those critical Unisys transaction integrations that require superior performance.

An important feature is its implementation flexibility, as any number of application functions, from the same or different Unisys systems, can be combined within the same solution, dramatically increasing the value and power of the integration.

Unisys Integrator can also easily integrate any UTS legacy application in an enterprise with any of the major application servers or EAI systems. Transparent programmatic access is provided to both the logic and data of any production application by communicating via the messaging event protocol of each respective system. Or, solutions can be implemented in standalone server mode. Standard adapters execute concurrently with the Unisys Integrator Runtime Environment, binding Unisys Integrator and the application server or EAI system together into a seamless integration environment.

The Unisys Integrator suite consists of the following components:

API and Runtime Environment

• Fully extensible Java code
• Server-based implementation
• Efficient, highly scaleable program execution
• Built-in Java terminal emulator for Unisys UTS

EAI - Application Server Connectivity

• Connectivity to all major messaging systems adapters
• Server-based implementation

Unisys Integrator(TM) Development Server bundles start at $15,000. Production Server bundles start at $25,000. All components are available immediately.

Each of Red Oak's Transaction Integration(TM) products includes a Development Environment and Server Runtime Environment that allows all 390, AS/400, Tandem, Digital, Unix, Unisys and HTML-based application interactions to be seamlessly integrated with any of the major EAI messaging systems, from vendors such as webMethods, Vitria, IBM , SeeBeyond and TIBCO.

These Java products also provide customers with fast, efficient programmatic connectivity to Application Server solutions, from vendors such as IBM, BEA, Oracle and Sun, and any of the major enterprise application systems, including Siebel, Peoplesoft, SAP, and Oracle. This functionality enables large corporations to capitalize on their massive investment in legacy applications and extend their reach to the Internet applications necessary for eBusiness.

Red Oak is privately held. It was financed through venture capital from Opticality Ventures of New York and private investment. They specialize in Transaction Integration, by which access to any application logic and data is developed automatically into reusable business objects, regardless of the programming language or database structure of the legacy application. The company is headquartered in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, with corporate offices in Rochester.
