What is Driving the Need for Web Services
Mobile, Mobile, Mobile!
 Majority of internet access now mobile-based
– Organisations need to quickly expose existing
application functions
 Interoperability
– Connect anything to anything through standards-based
communications methods
 Emerging new architecture patterns
– Microservices; a modular approach to building complex
applications using fine-grained, highly decoupled
processes communicating via language agnostics APIs

Modernizing Traditional Applications
 Crucial functions are locked up in big applications
– How to expose proven, self-contained functional
modules, without modification, to create the new
services that your customers demand yesterday?
 Lack of application knowledge
– Original team that developed the application years ago
are no longer available
 Mismatched skillsets
– Paradigm shift from monolithic mainframe systems to
web-services delivery
Moving from Datacenter to User Centric - Challenges

Meeting the Challenge
 CA Gen
– Agile Development Tools with platform independence
 CA App Services Orchestrator
– Rapidly transform existing critical services into secure,
accessible APIs; the building blocks of the
application economy
 CA API Gateway
– Securely expose and manage your backend
application APIs

 Single Integrated Development Environment
– Allows development teams to create and maintain large-scale business
applications for multiple platforms leveraging a single set of skills
 Platform Independent
– Model driven development enables focus on business requirements
rather than technology. Generates 100% error free code
 Increased Developer Productivity
– Maintenance efforts greatly reduced through modelling and regeneration
rather than modification of target source

Mobile to Mainframe is possible with CA Technologies
Every business is in the software business today. You communicate with the world through your apps. For
many organizations, these apps get critical data from their systems of record, more often than not residing
on a mainframe.
The challenge for these organizations is updating and modernizing these complex, mobile-to-mainframe
apps at the speed the application economy demands.
CA Technologies has the tools to help you meet this challenge. CA Gen is an Agile development tool that will
accelerate your developer productivity and reduce your maintenance costs. CA App Services Orchestrator,
in conjunction with CA API Gateway, quickly exposes existing functions as Web API’s and securely deploys
and manages them within your organization and across the application economy.
