Case Study: Abraxas achieves improved security and lower mainframe costs with OpenText Host Access for the Cloud

OpenText™ Host Access for the Cloud provides easy web access to mainframe applications with advanced security built-in

Abraxas, a customer running mainframe applications, needed a more secure and user-friendly way to let employees access systems without relying on risky password handling, Java clients, or disruptive recoding. Working with OpenText and its Host Access for the Cloud solution, Abraxas wanted a seamless experience that fit into its existing identity and access management environment.

OpenText implemented Host Access for the Cloud with Automated Sign-On for Mainframe Add-On, delivering HTML5 browser-based access, automatic sign-on, and centralized administration. The result was improved productivity, easier remote work, stronger security, no user training required, lower MIPS consumption on the mainframe, and substantial annual cost savings from reduced license and maintenance costs.
