Above All Studio and Shadow z/Services Combine to Accelerate
Re-use of Legacy Assets in Service-Oriented Architectures
San Mateo, CA - September 21, 2025
- Above All Software, a provider of award-winning
business integration software and NEON® Systems, Inc.
(Nasdaq: NEON), a leader in enterprise-class mainframe
integration, today announced a strategic partnership to
co-market and sell a combined offering to greatly enhance
their customers' ability to re-purpose investments in
mainframe technology as newer composite applications.
Above All Studio offers a complete solution
for the rapid assembly of composite applications that
cuts through the complexity of typical IT environments.
Integrated solutions assembled with Above All Studio pull
together key functions from a variety of systems into
a focused, unified application that makes business operations
more efficient and employees more productive. For example,
call center employees may have as many as a dozen applications
to address a customer's call. Above All Studio dramatically
reduces the time required to deliver new composite applications
with a repository-based architecture and high-productivity
visual tools.
Shadow z/Services provides a single-step
solution for rapidly transforming mainframe CICS, IMS
and IDMS applications into Web services. Organizations
that use Shadow z/Services are more able to support new
business requirements via service-oriented application
development environments such as Above All Studio.
"NEON's Shadow z/Services and Above
All Studio together simplify the steps required to repurpose
proven mainframe investments into new solutions to meet
new business needs," said Roger Sippl, CEO of Above
All Software. "The two products enable mainframe
applications to easily integrate and interoperate with
the packaged, custom and desktop applications in use at
enterprises today."
"With the advent of Web services,
organizations are now better able to leverage the tremendous
value gained through service-oriented architectures and
composite applications," said Mark Cresswell, President
and CEO, NEON Systems. "Above All Studio considerably
reduces the time to value for new composite applications.
When combined with a Web services enabled mainframe, an
organization's ability to deliver high-value applications
predictably, with minimal risk, is materially improved."
