Seagull Software sponsors Gartner Symposium⁄ITxpo 2006 in Barcelona

22 May 2006 - Seagull Software (AEX: SEAGULL), a leading provider of high-performance solutions that transform legacy business applications into service-oriented architecture (SOA) assets, is sponsoring the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2006, which runs from May 21-24 in Barcelona, Spain. LegaSuite® will be demonstrated at the event held at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya. 

Seagull Software’s LegaSuite software technology is designed for rapid results while:

• reducing the time, cost and risk of SOA migration for mainframe, iSeries, Dec VT/UNIX and even Windows client/server applications

• exponentially accelerating IT response to new business requirements

• utilising the skills of existing developer teams with little or no coding and no changes to legacy applications
  

LegaSuite modules are grouped into several solution clusters including: LegaSuite Integration, LegaSuite GUI, and LegaSuite BPM. Seagull Software also offers BlueZone - the faster, thinner terminal emulator for 3270, 5250, VT and FTP. Enterprises are making the switch from Attachmate EXTRA!, IBM Personal Communications, NetManage Rumba and WRQ Reflection because BlueZone can cut maintenance costs by 50% to 83%.

The theme for this year’s Gartner Symposium/ITxpo is ‘The Right Next Steps, What Matters Now in IT’. The symposium will provide a forum for senior level business and IT executives across the globe to discuss best practices and explore practical solutions on the cutting edge of innovation.
