Software AG provides a non-invasive approach to integrating your mission-critical applications and data with new technologies. Create reusable services & APIs from COBOL, Assembler, Natural or PL/1 with **webMethods EntireX**. Modernize the user experience for employees, partners and customers with modern, intuitive web and mobile interfaces with **webMethods ApplinX**. Access and move data from virtually any database on any platform to anywhere with **CONNX**. Our Mainframe Integration solutions can help you modernize and simplify application interoperability—putting your mainframe on equal footing with your digital initiatives. **webMethods ApplinX 10.7** now includes Natural Screen Tester so you can easily generate Unit Tests out of your existing ApplinX procedures for fast validation of code change impacts and regression testing. The Natural-IO protocol is now supported so a secure SSL connection can be made to hosts running Natural on Linux. The REST-based server API has been improved to allow you to connect/disconnect a session to get or update a screen. This REST API give you more flexibility to use technologies you choose to design your front-end implementation when transforming your green screens applications for web or mobile access. A new API for handling printing sessions lets you connect to your printer session without the need for a Java® installation on the client machine. **webMethods EntireX 10.7** builds on the security theme in this release with enhanced security to support FIPS requirements and SSL client certificates on z/OS. **CONNX 14.5** sports a new web-based user interface this release and adds a DB Adapter for the Snowflake® data lake on the cloud.
