IBM TXSeries for Multiplatforms is a distributed CICS (Customer Information Control System) online transaction processing (OLTP) environment for mixed language applications.

TXSeries was introduced by IBM's Transarc subsidiary in 1997 and bundled CICS version 2.1.2 with Encina, MQSeries middleware, Lotus Domino Go web server, and other software.^[1]

TXSeries is a transaction server available on AIX, Linux x86, Windows Server. It shares similar design principles and some functions with CICS on mainframe. End of 2006 saw a major release of TXSeries V6.1, with DCE and Encina components removed. This brought huge simplification to the product. There is also a new graphical web-based administration console.

IBM TXSeries V9.1 allows clients to:

1. Create RESTful APIs^{[clarification needed]} to extend existing applications for mobile and cloud.
2. Extend traditional applications in Java Enterprise Edition (EE) and deploy them on IBM WebSphere Application Server.

TXSeries for Multiplatforms V9.1 extends the capabilities for TXSeries for Multiplatforms V8.2 and 8.1 and folds in the benefit from earlier releases along with the new capabilities listed above.
