Pixel, HPS to simplify host integration worldwide

NEW DELHI: Pixel USA, a company providing Host Integration solutions, and HPS

(HCL Perot Systems), a business technology consulting and outsourcing firm, have

announced their newly formed alliance aimed at simplifying and



expediting a variety of host based integration services worldwide. Pixel's
unique Host Integration technology and HPS' consulting capabilities combine to

give both companies a stronger foundation for more rapidly creating and

deploying more powerful Host Integration solutions for their clients.

With over 70 per cent of corporate information currently stored in host based

legacy systems, the need to access information locked in host-based legacy

systems has never been greater. Most organizations are recognizing that their

critical host information must be shared with others both within the company as

well as externally to partners and customers. This increased need to share

legacy based information assets has resulted in the Host Integration industry

growing at over 50 per cent annually.

HostAccess Gateway consists of server-side components and development tools

that work together to easily access data from ANY green-screen host application.



"With HostAccess, the web developers at HPS can directly transfer any
information or data stored in the client's enterprise or host applications into

new web, wireless or composite applications in a matter of minutes. The client

receives a fully functional e-commerce solution without the time consuming,

low-level coding historically used to extract information from host

systems," stated Francis Carder, CEO of Pixel.
