Xbridge Host Data Connect Now Supports IAM.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 8, 2003 Xbridge Host Data Connect(TM) from Xbridge Systems now supports IAM IAM - Interactive Algebraic Manipulation. Interactive symbolic mathematics for PDP-10. ["IAM, A System for Interactive Algebraic Manipulation", C. Christensen et al, Proc Second Symp Symb Alg Manip, ACM Mar 1971]. (R) (Innovation Access Method) from INNOVATION Data Processing. Companies that have implemented IAM can now use Host Data Connect to easily and cost-effectively access and integrate IAM data into Windows(R) and Web-enabled applications. Furthermore, IAM data can be automatically joined with other host data types (e.g., QSAM QSAM - Physical Sequential , DB2 and IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem.

DB) into a single file. Xbridge Host Data Connect enables Windows, Web and mobile applications to quickly and securely access virtually all OS/390(R) and z/OS(R) mainframe data (VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method) An IBM access method for storing data, widely used in IBM mainframes. It uses the B+tree method for organizing data. VSAM - Virtual Storage Access Method , IAM, QSAM, DB2 and IMS DB) and to see the data in the format of the requesting application (e.g., Excel), all in real time. A high-performance alternative solution, IAM improves overall VSAM application efficiency, lowering data transfer time, extending file size beyond VSAM's conventional 4GB limit while compressing data to reduce disk storage requirements by more than 50 percent. Thousands of organizations around the world use IAM in CRM, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. , financial services and a wide variety of other applications.
