2 A bank application needs to access information from the customer database and integrate it with loan credit history information stored in a legacy database (accessed through CICS transactions). Scenario 1: database and data service integration CICS

3 IT created a new Web service from the customer database that provides just the information required for loan applications. This does not interrupt direct access to the database while the service is being tested and proven. All these moves are managed with no change in the client application. Scenario 2: migrating some direct database access to data services

4 Meanwhile, the loan department is implementing a new commercial CRM System to serve the complex needs of the bank. The loan application will integrate this new service with legacy loan data. Once again, all these moves can be managed with no change in the client application. Scenario 3: integrating packaged applications
