The enhancements in the new ePortal version 10.0 – available for both the ClearPath MCP and OS 2200 environments – include full automation to facilitate development of applications without line-by-line coding. Those applications can call on both internal and external business processes to help create an enterprise-wide application ecosystem.
The enhancements in ePortal 10.0 and in Application Integration Services (AIS) Release 5.0 enable users to implement new application environments that rely on easily integrated microservices. They can change and augment applications in real time, without having to halt or recompile business-critical programs.

For example, a state government could implement an unemployment-insurance-claim application as a microservice on its web site. Also, a financial institution could add a personal-banking application to its customer-service site. In both cases, the production applications could access transaction records and databases residing in the ClearPath MCP or OS 2200 system of record without altering that back-end environment.
“The current COVID-19 crisis starkly demonstrates the limitations of traditional, monolithic application environments,” said Vishal Gupta, senior vice president, Products and Platforms and chief technology officer, Unisys. “Many organizations are scrambling to find software developers adept at older programming languages just to maintain legacy applications – let alone build modern ones. Those organizations need access to agile, modern application development tools and services to keep up in an environment where the well-being of people and businesses can literally be at stake. Our enhanced ePortal and Application Integration Services solutions can help them weather crises and set up their IT environments for long-term agility and success.”
