About the GTC Exhibitor Best Solution criteria Limited to 15 companies, GTC's Exhibitor Best Solutions program recognizes the development of successful customer solutions. The solution must be developed by a vendor for a specific customer to help solve a particular problem, and cannot be an "off-the-shelf" application, but one created specifically for a customer or in partnership with a customer, either public or private. The solution must have resulted in significant benefits -- e.g. saved time, money, or headaches -- and be worthy of recognition. Winning exhibitors are showcased in the show's conference guide, and receive both a solutions award plaque and certificate from GTC. Winning Solution for the Kansas Department of Human Resources The fancy word for "people." The human resources department within an organization, years ago known as the "personnel department," manages the administrative aspects of the employees. The Kansas Department of Human Resources (KDHR KDHR Kansas Department of Human Resources ), which administers the state's unemployment insurance program, launched the KansasJobLink (www.kansasjoblink.com), an award winning Web-based application See Web application. that brings job seekers and employers together. Since its launch, state residents have been able to file unemployment claims online through the secure Web self-service application. The new application enhances customer service, reduces waiting times, and has delivered a swift and substantial ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). for the state. This flexible solution used Attachmate(R) myEXTRA!(TM) Smart Connector technology as the connection piece from KDHR's CICS (Customer Information Control System) A TP monitor from IBM that was originally developed to provide transaction processing for IBM mainframes. It controls the interaction between applications and users and lets programmers develop screen displays without (R) application on the mainframe to the Microsoft(R) BizTalk(R) server. Attachmate Smart Connector for 3270 & 5250 builds on the KDHR technical platform direction and leverages current business logic, essentially allowing the mainframe CICS information and other applications to be presented as a Web service. With flexible yet simple integration, the Web service provides an extensible platform for future development. Because Web services use open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced , it is a safe decision and can easily integrate with future systems and technologies.
