New MitemView 5.3 Simplifies
Bringing Core Business Processes to the Web
Enhanced Java support, innovative
security features, and new automation tools demonstrate MITEM's continued
product leadership and technology vision.
MENLO PARK, Calif., December 18, 2000 - MITEM Corporation, a leading
provider of legacy integration software for conducting real-time e-Business,
today announced the January 2001 availability of MitemView 5.3.
As the demand for Web-enabled business processes increases, demand has
equally intensified for those features and functions that simplify routine
implementation and management tasks. Additionally, the more value-added
processes an organization makes available over the Internet, the more
important security infrastructure becomes. MITEM is satisfying this
demand with MitemView 5.3 by providing innovative security features,
new automation tools, and full support for the Java language.
"The release of MitemView 5.3 is a significant event for
all participants in the MITEM ecosystem," said Martin Fincham,
MITEM's vice president of marketing. "e-Business projects dominate
our pipeline as we enter 2001, and the enhanced features and functions
of this major product release will contribute greatly to our customers
e-Business integration success".
Integration servers often reside outside of the corporate firewall
to be accessible by customers, partners and suppliers. This creates
a potential security risk when the legacy system, or systems, must be
accessible through the firewall. MITEM has closed this potential loophole
by developing MitemView Server Tunneling (MVST), a standard product
option in this release. Server Tunneling creates a "split"
integration server that has two parts - an inner and an outer server
with a secure tunnel between them. MVST uses a proprietary protocol
to create, maintain and terminate the tunnel, and to forward inbound
user requests through the tunnel from the outer server to the inner
server for processing. Communication between the split servers is automatic
and seamless, requiring no additional programming or development. By
only exposing legacy system interfaces to the inner server, the potential
for a serious security breach is diminished.
Being previewed in MitemView 5.3 is the first tool in MITEM's
new family of productivity assistants that are designed to simplify
routine implementation and management tasks. ProStart, a Wizard-style
tool, uses pre-built templates to automatically generate the foundation
of a MitemView-based application. MITEM has identified the common
applications that its customers develop; like Web Integration Servers
or TIBCO Mainframe Adaptors. For each style of application the collective
knowledge of MITEM's engineers, consultants, third-party implementers
and business partners is cast in a ProStart template. After using ProStart,
a MitemView developer has a fully functional system by adding
their custom integration control and business logic. The net result
is faster time-to-market while maintaining a high degree of quality
in the application design. This best practice approach is in stark contrast
to other vendor offerings that are restricted to generic code generators,
which produce output to the lowest common denominator.
