Walnut Creek, CA - Document Systems, Inc. (DSI) has entered into a strategic relationship with HostBridge Technology, an innovator in IBM mainframe CICS web application enablement software. As part of the relationship, DSI will market the HostBridge solution and provide related services for e-Government applications. HostBridge is a Patent Pending software solution that allows enterprises to take a quantum leap forward in integrating their existing CICS transactions into scalable e-Government applications. HostBridge is the first solution for securely invoking existing CICS transactions via an HTTP request and delivering their output as an XML document – not a 3270 screen.

“Better access to enterprise data via intranets, extranets and the Internet by employees, partners, and customers is critical to implementing meaningful e-Government initiatives,” states Russ Teubner, founder of HostBridge Technology. “Doing so requires a more robust, scalable and cost-effective approach to legacy application and data integration over traditionally fragile ‘screen scraping’ techniques. HostBridge drastically reduces the cost and complexity of integrating CICS transactional systems within an e-Government application.”

“This ground-breaking technology simplifies the integration of front-end ‘self service’ systems with the back-end mainframe transactional systems that government uses to run its day-to-day operations. HostBridge allows local, state, and federal agencies to deliver meaningful, cost-effective e-Government solutions at a fraction of the cost of current approaches ” adds Ed Hollshwandner, CEO of Document Systems, Inc. DSI will introduce HostBridge at the upcoming AWTS Systems User Group Annual Meeting in New Orleans in mid August.

DSI delivers XML and HTML version of O*NET 3.1 and NAICS data to support WIA system implementation

Phone: (925) 287-4141

Walnut Creek, CA - Document Systems, Inc. today announced availability of O*NET 3.1 and NAICS data in XML and HTML formats for inclusion in state Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and other state systems. These data sources are being used for the capture and reporting of occupational and employer classification information and will replace the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT), Standard Occupation Codes (SOC), and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) coding currently used by most state employment security organizations. In addition to being available in XML and HTML formats for inclusion in web-based Internet and intranet systems, the O*NET 3.1 (also called O*NET-SOC) and NAICS data sources include cross-walks to DOT and SIC codes to support transitioning of existing information to these newly mandated reporting structures. DSI also provides O*NET 3.1, NAICS, DOT, and SIC databases in its full-text searchable DOCU/MASTER ® system for use and inclusion in IBM mainframe system used by state Job Service and Unemployment Insurance organizations.

“While there has been an enormous effort to create and deliver web-based, self service WIA and One-Stop systems, many of these systems have lacked the ability to adequately identify and capture necessary occupational and employer information for state and federal reporting purposes. This low cost service will allow any organization to incorporate this data directly into these new systems” comments Ed Hollshwandner, Document Systems’ CEO. Enterprise pricing starts at $1,995.
