(PRWEB) August 27, 2004 -- SCORE Adaptive Bridges – Solution Pack for Delta Applications from Delta Software Technology makes the functionality of existing Delta applications available as Adaptive Services within the framework of a modern service oriented architecture (SOA), maximizing the reusability of mission-critical applications through new client and middle-tier applications and platforms.

Mission critical Delta applications have been developed using the Delta/ADS and ADSplus toolsets by some of the largest and most well known organisations in Europe. Many of these applications have been in production for more than 15 years, deployed on diverse mainframe, mid-range and server platforms. It is estimated that well over 500,000 Delta application programs have been developed, with more than 10,000 developers trained in the use of Delta tools.

Schorch, an electrical engineering manufacturer located in Mönchengladbach Germany, has been a Delta customer since 1987. They have made the strategic decision to make their existing legacy production management applications, developed with Delta/ADS, available through their enterprise portal. We can now create BS2000-UTM applications as well as callable mainframe servers from our Delta/ADS programs: with only a new generation and without having to change the Delta/ADS applications in any way” observed Gerd Dietrich, Application Development Manager at Schorch.

SCORE Adaptive Bridges - Solution Pack for Delta Applications from Delta Software Technology is for organisations that recognise that selected functionality from their existing Delta applications is critical to their current and future business success. These organisations have made a strategic decision to maximize their return on investment by integrating and reusing functionality from their existing Delta applications in enterprise portals and similar projects.

All that is needed to make the functionality of existing Delta applications available for integration into new client and middle tier applications is to re-generate the Delta programs using the Solution Pack for Delta Applications. Thanks to the non-invasive development concept of the Delta tools, absolutely no changes are required in the existing applications. With the help of SCORE Adaptive Bridges they can then subsequently be integrated into new applications as Adaptive (able to modify themselves) Services.

SCORE Adaptive Bridges enables the direct usage of legacy functionality in enterprise portals. The product quickly and simply integrates strategic legacy applications and databases into JSR 168 compliant enterprise portals, and other similar high-visibility and high-value projects.

The Solution Pack for Delta Applications is available in conjunction with SCORE Adaptive Bridges and is provided as a non-cost option for Delta/ADS and ADSplus customers.
