Your developers should not have to deal with the intricacies of a synchronous or asynchronous communication protocol or interface specifications for the various platforms. NCI allows you to integrate (TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, LU 6.2, HTTP(S)) protocols into your programs via interfaces (MQSeries, IMS, DB2, SAP). And this is possible for a wide range of programming languages (C/C++ , PL/1, Cobol, Java, SmallTalk, Visual Basic, ABAP, zSeries Assembler, REXX ) via a standardized parameterizable interface.
