Jacada to ASP.NET

NeoKicks can be used as the core product to enable modernization of Jacada applications.

A typical Jacada application architecture might look like this:

Using NeoKicks you can convert existing CICS applications into ASP.NET pages. Once the CICS applications and BMS green screens have been converted into ASP.NET, you can replace the Jacada screens with additional ASP.NET pages, bringing your application to the typical NeoKicks application architecture:

The use of web services can make the converted CICS application functionality, now modernized and running in .NET, available to client applications, even when the client application is running in a non-Windows based operating system and/or using other programming environments including Java:

NeoServices can be used to coordinate complex transactions, including transactions where some work is done on the mainframe and some work comes from NeoKicks or other web services. NeoServices can also be used to expose the mainframe CICS transactions through web services.
