Mainsoft, Portal Edition, enables enterprise IT to build a front-end to your Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA), with equal access to .NET and Java™
services. Enterprises expand the reach of existing development staff by enabling
them to use existing Microsoft® development tools and skills to create
custom portlets for WebSphere® Portal. These applications behave
exactly the same way as any Java portlet running on the portal - delivering the
same look and feel, unified navigation, single sign on, and ability to participate
in Interportlet Communications and composite applications.
Customers
Customers such as Healthways,
Opal Future Technologies, and
RJS Software have used their enterprise
.NET developers to rapidly implement a front-end SOA, including .NET and Java applications,
significantly faster than rewriting ASP.NET applications in Java.
 
Healthways used C# and Java to build a multi-million
patient
portal in 5 months.
Enabling technology
Unlike remoting solutions, Mainsoft's Portal Edition enables ASP.NET applications
to run locally on WebSphere Portal as pure JSR 168 portlets. Mainsoft's patented
cross-compilation technology compiles .NET source code to Java bytecode. Runtime
extensions support the .NET code on WebSphere Portal. And, Mainsoft's Visual Studio®-based
SDK makes it easy for .NET developers to quickly develop and maintain .NET applications
using their preferred development tools.
Mainsoft is Optimized for Visual Studio and has been validated by IBM as ServerProven™
and Ready for WebSphere Software™.
A study completed in
IBM's Innovation Labs demonstrates that .NET applications cross compiled
to Java bytecode using Mainsoft performs just as well as the original .NET application.
Pricing
Mainsoft, Portal Edition, is licensed per developer and per deployed CPU. It costs
$20,000 per CPU and $6,000 per developer seat, including first year of support and
maintenance. Standard support and maintenance for following years is 20% of the
