We provide software and services to our clients which include many large organizations. Packaged Software Our packaged software is conceived and developed as a result of our integration experiences related to Service Oriented Architecture, cloud computing calls to and from IDMS, trigger- based data publishing, and replication. ObjEx products are focused on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and are designed to participate within the latest n-tier architectures. ObjEx has been used to: Extend existing IDMS systems with new modern application components either direct client/server or through SOA, all in one database. Allow existing IDMS applications to call out to internal and external web services. Provide modern applications the ability to use existing IDMS DC-Cobol and ADSO programs as web services. This allows the reuse of business rules without the hassles of screen scraping. Push IDMS data to non-mainframe applications without altering IDMS programs. The products are useful for ERP and warehouse integration, data replication to operational data stores, and data warehousing feeds.

Gordon, editors Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-07415-3 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/bres96-1 Publication Date: January 1996 Chapter Title: From Superminis to Supercomputers: Estimating Surplus in the Computing Market Chapter Author: Shane M. Greenstein Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c6071 Chapter pages in book: (p. 329 - 372) 8 From Superminis to Supercomputers: Estimating Surplus in the Computing Market Shane M. Greenstein 8.1 Introduction Innovation is rampant in adolescent industries. Old products die or evolve and new products replace them. Each new generation of products offers new features, extends the range of existing features, or lowers the cost of obtaining old features. Vendors imitate one another’s products, so that what had been a novelty becomes a standard feature in all subsequent generations. Depending on the competitive environment and the type of innovation, prices may or may not reflect design changes. The computer industry of the late 1960s and 1970s experienced remarkable growth and learning. At the start of the period several technological uncertain- ties defied easy resolution. Most knowledgeable observers could predict the direction of technical change, but not its rate. Vendors marketed hundreds of new product designs throughout the 1970s, and a fraction of those products became commercially successful. In time the industry took on a certain matu- rity and predictability. By the late 1970s, both buyers and sellers understood the technical trajectory of the industry’s products.
