This article shows how IBM® Rational® Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) for Multiplatforms can help you quickly improve the user interface of your existing IBM® System z™ applications and integrate with other IT systems with minimal development cost. The result is an easy-to-use Web interface to the application, which reduces training cost, simplifies the application, and makes it easy for new users to understand.

Making your existing mainframe applications available on the Web can help extend their value, plus increase efficiency and encourage reuse of assets. With IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) for Multiplatforms software, you can create Web applications -- including portlets, rich client applications, and applications for browsers on mobile devices -- that provide a standard, easy-to-use GUI for your 3270 applications that run on the IBM® System z™ platform. In about 45 minutes, you will learn how to use Rational HATS to create Web services that provide standard programming interfaces to business logic and transactions within host applications. You can then reuse these Web services as building blocks within your SOA applications.

Walk through this scenario and others online as part of the Enterprise Modernization Sandbox for System z.
