The Mercator demonstration provided a hands-on illustration of how Mercator Inside Integrator(TM) allows customers to expose their legacy applications as Web services, creating greater flexibility for existing IT systems without the need for coding, replacing legacy applications or constructing new, disruptive integration architecture. The Gartner conference was held Monday and Tuesday, May 5-6, in Los Angeles. At the conference, Mercator demonstrated the ability to expose existing Order Entry Processes as a web service, import Web Services Description Language (WSDL) objects, automatically generate WSDL for exposure to Web services and wrap backend processes as Web services without writing code.

By leveraging our legacy integration heritage to connect backend applications to the Internet through Web services, Mercator saves considerable time, money and resources.
