Government and education industries: Creatively meet challenges in tight budgets
Few organizations have to economize as much as local governments and schools do. But many organizations still must provide patrons with access to data and are seeking low-cost, effective ways to meet this requirement. H&W software solutions can help.

- Case study: Ball State University (PDF). BSU needed to remain competitive by attracting and retaining students. These students wanted 24/7 Internet access to applications such as class registration. However, the applications were CICS based and had to be taken down for hours each night to run batch. SYSB-II allowed BSU to keep the existing infrastructure, provide current data all day, and making CICS accessible for service-oriented architecture (SOA) initiatives.

- Case study: Education Service Center (ESC) Region 20. ESC Region 20 in San Antonio, Texas, needed to provide Web access to its CICS region quickly to satisfy school-district requirements. But the school districts had to purchase, install, and maintain 3270 emulators to access their data. Cash-strapped districts wanted to eliminate these expenses, and users were demanding browser-based functionality. WebTek helped reach these goals.
- Case study: Chicago, Illinois, school district. The IT department of a large Chicago-area school district needed an online attendance application. Teachers wanted the new system to be fast and not take time from lessons. They also wanted to be able to input new information and view current data throughout the day. The IT department and district wanted to preserve its investment in CICS. WebTek provided a CICS GUI to solve the problem.
