IBM on Wednesday expanded the technology it provides to make the System z mainframe friendly to service-oriented architectures.

IBM's strategy for opening up its high-end computing workhorse revolves around the company's CICS software. CICS, which stands for Customer Information Control System, is IBM's transaction server for developing, running, and managing transaction applications on the mainframe, which is commonly found in financial institutions.

In the previous version of CICS software, IBM introduced the ability to invoke transactions using Web services, XML-based standards that are the foundation of SOAs. CICS also could invoke services on an SOA.
