Select Press Release

BOULDER, Colo. — June 30, 2003 —Select Business Solutions™, a member of Gores Technology Group and a leading provider of S/390 reporting and data access tools, announced today a new release of its Web-based, business intelligence software, UltraQuest version 4.0. This new release’s XML output support allows companies to extend the value of their legacy data through improved interoperability with other systems throughout the enterprise.

UltraQuest servers provide end users with easy Web access to S/390 data sources, including IBM’s DB2 for OS/390 or VM, VSAM, IMS, IDMS, Teradata, NOMAD® and QSAM. According to Roger Cox, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, “in addition to the information being delivered via reports, this business-critical data can be generated in a number of XML formats suitable for both simple and complex products, as well as for Java and .NET language development environments. By opening up legacy systems and new Web-based applications to XML, companies can now deliver applications that are more integrated than once thought possible.”

UltraQuest version 4.0 will also support WebCharts 3D from Greenpoint, Inc. Web-based reports can be displayed in the numerous chart formats of WebCharts and can be modified interactively for further customization. 

UltraQuest, which includes a mainframe-based application server, works through a Web server to provide three services:

UltraQuest Reporter: for interactive, real-time access to reports and data extracts from mainframe data sources.

UltraQuest Library: a shared library of reports, published from UltraQuest Reporter, which are available through Web browser menus.

UltraQuest Applications: custom applications, built using the UltraQuest server and the underlying UltraQuest 4GL. These applications may involve reports as well as data queries and updates.
