 IBM Corporation / Object Technology Inc.Company Description:The foundation products and components of the IBM Workplace Client Technology, Micro Edition family are available in a single package, Workplace Client Technology, Micro Edition 5.7, which provides an integrated platform for the extension of existing enterprise applications to server-managed client devices.This package provides a platform for the extension of existing enterprise applications to server-managed client devices such as desktop computers, laptop systems, personal digital assistants, (PDAs), and other mobile and pervasive devices. The integrated package combines the tools (WebSphere Studio Device Developer and Micro Environment Toolkit for WebSphere Studio), run-times (WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment, Service Management Framework, and WebSphere Everyplace Custom Environment), and middleware (DB2e, MQe, Web Services) for building, testing, and deploying server-managed client software to pervasive devices. The use of industry standards and middleware enables devices to be connected to many existing e-business applications. By testing middleware and server connectivity, WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment combines the convenience of mobile devices with the power of e-business. When used with other middleware products, many existing enterprise applications can be extended to server-managed mobile and pervasive devices: Web services (SOAP) support can help enable access to applications across a wide variety of wireless and wire-line networks. Testing with assured messaging software (MQe, JMS) can provide access to assured messaging and financial transactions. When used with DB2e, the advanced data management capabilities of DB2 can also be leveraged. Applications, middleware, and run-times can be server-managed when used in conjunction with IBM Service Management Framework. IBM has combined the portability of Java technology with open and industry standards to deliver a comprehensive platform for extending many existing business processes onto millions of small devices.
