xCoupler modules with WebSphere MQ adapters are specifically designed to enable two-tier exchange of manufacturing and processing data from proprietary devices to WebSphere MQ systems to eliminate cumbersome patchwork systems. They are less costly to install and configure and are virtually maintenance-free, scalable to accommodate expansion, provide timely and accurate bi-directional data, and are extremely secure.

Optimizes WebSphere MQ Capabilities

IBM Websphere MQ enables the easy exchange of information across different platforms to aid in the integration of existing and new business applications. The xCoupler:

• Assures reliable delivery of messages to the system.
• Integrates with IBM WebSphere MQ business integration products to provide a direct path to ERP systems, supply chain systems, data warehouses, and business-to-business partners.
• Provides confidence that your critical business information will be delivered once and only once to your business applications without being revealed to unauthorized parties or exposed to tampering enroute.
• Allows sending your business information as soon as it is ready, secure in the knowledge that it will be delivered as soon as your business applications are ready to receive it.

The xCoupler WebSphere MQ adapter seamlessly integrates into WebSphere's application and transaction infrastructure and enhances its security, reliability, and performance environment. There are no drivers or special interface code required at the enterprise level. This makes xCoupler adapters transparent to the system and eliminates maintenance. The xCoupler module's architecture has been specifically developed using a native interface to operate in this environment and extend the capabilities of plant floor to IBM Websphere MQ systems to eliminate the need for gateway or bridging systems.
