OpenConnect Systems has launched soa-Solution, a mainframe-to-service-oriented-architecture (SOA) suite designed to transform business process knowledge used throughout the extended enterprise into secure and complete mainframe services.

Western Reserve Group (WRG), a property/casualty carrier located in Wooster, Ohio, was involved in beta testing the product. Dan Pitcher, the carrier's vice president of IT, explains WRG has been seeking a common service to leverage across what the insurer views as completely separate and distinct applications but with similar core activities.

OpenConnect's soaSolution consists of three core components designed to improve return on legacy investment while eliminating the risk of migrating mainframe information and applications to SOAs. The components are soa-Comprehend, soaConfigure, and soaConnect.
