    Front cover Transaction Processing: Past, Present, and Future Redguides for Business Leaders Alex Louwe Kooijmans Elsie Ramos Niek De Greef Dominique Delhumeau Donna Eng Dillenberger Hilon Potter Nigel Williams Transaction processing in today’s business environment Business challenges and technology trends Role of the IBM mainframe Foreword Thriving in the Era of Ubiquitous Transactions I am absolutely obsessed with the concept of Transaction Processing because it is the very essence of every company on earth. A business is not in business unless it is successfully processing transactions of some kind. IBM® has been investing in, leading, and inventing Transaction Processing technology for as long as there has been programmable computing. It is no coincidence that the world’s economic infrastructure largely rests on IBM technology, such as mainframes, and fundamental financial activity occurs through CICS®, IMS™, and WebSphere® transaction engines. IBM continues to evolve the entire compendium of intellectual property as it relates to Transaction Processing so that companies like yours will have the sophisticated technology required to not only support but thrive in the new world of federated environments and interconnected enterprises, and Cloud services and mobile commerce with certainty and control. This melding of modularity and service-oriented techniques together with Transaction Processing science will provide every business the ability to deliver straight-through processing at the lowest possible cost and highest level of transactional integrity. Steve Mills IBM Senior Vice President and Group Executive, Software and Systems © Copyright IBM Corp. 2012.
