Web enabling

“Web enabling” of existing applications can take a number of forms. Some examples are:

  • Provide browser access to an existing application with no changes to the application's current user-interface.
  • Create a web-based “companion” application, giving users access to some of the legacy application’s data, and optionally providing some functionality similar to the original application.
  • Implement a web-services interface for the existing application. In its simplest form, this could simply provide a controlled exchange of information between a client and the existing application. Or, depending on the architecture of the existing application, a web-services interface could provide access to some of the legacy application's business logic.
  • Re-implement the existing application as a web-based application. This can follow the business logic of the existing application very closely, or working with you we can enhance the flexibility, organization and functional capabilities of the original application.

The optimal approach will depend on your specific situation. However, these approaches to web-enabling of existing applications have one thing in common: they use the Internet to connect you to your customers and business partners without unnecessarily abandoning useful existing systems.

Our understanding of business practices and business software applications pays off in web-enabling just as much as it does in building new applications from the ground up. We can quickly understand your business model and your objectives, can propose several approaches to web-enabling your systems, and then document the value proposition for each. You choose the approach that seems best to you, and we’ll make it happen.

  • We care about the quality of our work—not just from the “technical” point of view, but also from the standpoint of benefits you can receive, and the cost-effectiveness of the work we do.
  • We know that software, including the web-enabling of applications, can be even more effective and easier to use than you hoped at the beginning of the project. We know how to make that happen.
  • We always stand behind our work. Every project has a two-year warranty.
  • We have proved that our work is consistently of the highest quality. Scores of clients and hundreds of successful software applications attest to that.
  • We are easy to work with, flexible in organizing projects so they will be compatible with your specific goals and ways of doing business.
