Verastream Bridge Integrator is a native, mainframe-resident adapter that runs in the CICS Transaction Server, for rapid integration of CICS applications. CICS interaction is enabled through the IBM Link 3270 Bridge in any format required by the corresponding CICS application. So even if a CICS application does not use Basic Mapping System, a client application can still take advantage of the performance of Verastream Bridge Integrator.

Key features of Verastream Bridge Integrator include:
Broad client-platform support, including EJB, JCA RA, COM(+), and .NET-managed web services.
CICS logic access via 3270 bridge exits.
Direct access to 3270 applications spanning multiple CICS regions when using IBM Transaction Server v2.2 or higher.
Assignable Terminal ID support for state management.
Interception of CICS 3270 Terminal I/O, bypassing VTAM for faster processing.
No modifications to the CICS 3270 application or generation of BMS Maps.
Native, mainframe-resident connector running with IBM CICS Transaction Server and IBM CICS Web Services on OS/390.
Lightweight requestor/redirector that implements a simple API for stateless or stateful interactions.
