WRQ (WRQ, Inc., Seattle, WA, www.wrq.com) A software company that specialized in terminal emulation and NT-Unix integration products. Founded in 1981 as Walker Richer and Quinn, Inc., a consulting firm in minicomputer and mainframe applications, it introduced an HP terminal emulator for the , Inc. today announced that it has completed the Microsoft BizTalk Server Microsoft BizTalk Server, often referred to as simply "BizTalk", is a business process management (BPM) server. Through the use of "adapters" which are tailored to communicate with different software systems used in a large enterprise, it enables companies to automate and integrate  Adapter Validation and .NET Connected Logo Programs. Backed by 22 years of expertise, WRQ(R) provides customers worldwide with a single host integration platform that reuses underlying host functionality in new applications, creating a foundation for future initiatives.

Using WRQ Verastream(R), customers can extract host logic and data as reusable services that can be manipulated within the BizTalk environment. Without Verastream, developers often must recode Verb 1. recode - put into a different code; rearrange mentally; "People recode and restructure information in order to remember it"

 the host interface before integrating this invaluable business logic into new Microsoft-based applications. Now Verastream is extending the BizTalk environment to integrate functionality from a broad range of host types, including IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries)  OS/390, IBM AS/400, UNIX UNIX

BizTalk Server uses protocol implementations called "adapters" to communicate with applications and includes built-in adapters and a framework for  and the .NET Framework, WRQ helps developers leverage host functionality in new and innovative ways."

With WRQ's service-oriented approach to host integration, Verastream customers can create services that completely abstract host functionality from the technical and operational details of the originating systems. Encapsulated host functionality then can be fully integrated within the BizTalk framework See BizTalk. . By using Verastream, developers can leverage existing skill sets to utilize host functionality in new applications without becoming host experts.

"From an integrator's perspective, the ability to rely on a single product to integrate nearly any host system is invaluable," said Pat Langowski, director of Microsoft solutions at Tectura. "Once host functionality is encapsulated by Verastream, the resulting service can be adapted and reused for almost any development project, including BizTalk Server and .NET-based Web services. Working with a library of Verastream services that can be exposed via application integration components or Web services standards, developers can leverage any enterprise asset in a Windows-based environment."

By completing the BizTalk Server adapter validation and .NET Connected Logo Programs, WRQ has proven its commitment to Microsoft tools and server platforms.
