WebTek data sheets and supplemental information
WebTek overview (PDF)
Whether your plans include simple intranet applications served entirely from CICS or sophisticated Web applications that access CICS-managed data, you'll find a viable and low-cost solution in WebTek. WebTek and IBM's CWS are an efficient alternative to using the CTG or screen scraping. With WebTek, you can Web-enable CICS data in three ways: use CICS data in distributed applications, use the 3270 Bridge, or make CICS applications Web aware.
Benefits of WebTek in a distributed environment (PDF)
H&W's WebTek combined with IBM's CWS provides simple, direct, and secure access to mission-critical CICS data and business logic from a variety of distributed environments that use Java or Windows technologies. WebTek addresses complications that can arise when extending CICS data to distributed platforms. These issues include portability and performance, ease of management, scalability and cost, and training.

WebTek and CWS work with a spectrum of CICS Web projects that range from writing Web-aware CICS applications to accessing CICS data using Java, Visual Basic, C##, and C++. Learn how the simple, direct HTTP connection provided by WebTek and CWS allows distributed programs to easily and efficiently access CICS resources.
Benefits of WebTek in a single-server environment (PDF)
H&W's WebTek Tools for CICS combined with IBM's CWS offers a highly scalable Web-enablement solution that exploits the strengths of both CICS and the Web. WebTek offers multiple tools to leverage the strengths of each and to provide a simplified, cost-effective, and efficient approach to achieving your CICS Web-enablement goals.

WebTek supports a spectrum of projects while leveraging traditional transaction-based security, retaining the performance levels expected of CICS, staying affordable, and minimizing the effects of change. WebTek uses only one protocol (HTTP) and eliminates any need for middle tiers. In some cases, this direct connection performs up to 2.5 times better than other IBM solutions that require multiple protocols and a more complex path.
