Case Study: Delaware Courts achieves real-time mainframe case data access with Software AG webMethods

Unlocking the mainframe brings order to the courts

The Delaware Judiciary—a network of courts including the historic Court of Chancery—faced slow, manual data flows tied to legacy Adabas & Natural applications on IBM Z. Judges, clerks and citizens lacked timely access to case information, online payments and accurate courtroom schedules, creating delays, errors and added stress in the courtroom experience.

Using Software AG’s webMethods and EntireX to expose web services from the mainframe (while keeping original programs intact), the courts unified disparate systems and enabled apps, IVR and online fee payments that update in real time. The result: consistent, error‑free data across agencies, immediate access to case and scheduling information for judges and the public, reduced courtroom anxiety, and preserved IBM Z reliability and security.
