Natura Solutions - Mainframe Connectivity

Natura Solutions - Connecting heterogeneous systems

Do you need a cost-effective mechanism to transfer mainframe data to and from the PC?

Do your end-users have documents in Word whose content you would like to integrate into your mainframe database?

Are your users asking to have mainframe data exported to Excel?

Most middleware solutions cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many companies cannot justify such a huge expense so they simply do without. At Natura Solutions, we offer a cost effective approach to mainframe-PC connectivity that leverages the investment you have already made.

Terminal Emulator Macros

Most terminal emulators support a scripting language, such as Visual Basic for Applications, that offers all the power you need to read and write PC files (including Word documents, text files and Excel Macros). Our experts have written macros for many different mainframe applications and emulators. These automated tools save clients the overhead of manually re-keying data or performing tedious cut-and-paste operations.

One of the benefits of our approach is that, in most cases, you don't even need to change your existing mainframe applications. With the press of a button, your users can capture a wealth of mainframe information and utilize familiar tools, such as Excel, to perform advanced analysis and charting. If your field staff collect data on the road, now you can upload this to your host systems with simple automated processes.

Before you spend thousands of dollars on client-server or web solutions, contact us to see whether we can satisfy your requirements for a fraction of the cost.
