Select Press Release

BOULDER, Colo. — September 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 the release of UltraQuest WebServices, the latest offering in the UltraQuest product family. UltraQuest WebServices provides Web services to access S/390 data sources enabling a seamless and efficient integration of legacy data with the next generation of business intelligence applications.

With its unique user interface, UltraQuest automates the building of a Web service through its Guided Tour, smart Wizard technology. The services can manipulate, aggregate, as well as join data from multiple sources producing the appropriate XML, which can be anything from a simple answer set to a robust one-to-many, hierarchical structure. Once published, the UltraQuest Web service is then easily accessed by the application developer for use in a variety of Interactive Development Environments (IDEs), including the J2EE and .NET development environments.

UltraQuest WebServices supports 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, “standard reports and queries from this legacy data can now be made available as a Web service callable from Java and .NET development environments. This approach facilitates the deployment of real time business applications that integrate critical information that exists today on mainframe-based systems.”

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

- UltraQuest Reporter: for interactive, real-time access to reports and data extracts
- UltraQuest Library: a shared library of reports available through a Web browser
- UltraQuest Applications: for custom Web-based applications
