IMS... REST It, Share It, Mash It, Just Use It

IMS has been around and in production for over 40 years as the backbone system of many world class organizations in all industry verticals.  Now with some of the new technologies and systems many are looking to try to replace those tried and true systems. Why replace something that is tried and true?  Why not just incorporate the new technologies and let them drive the existing IMS systems . See how it is also possible to create services in IMS and access them via REST, Webservices or JCA and include them in technologies like Sharepoint, Mashups or others systems.
