Virtually all large end users and software vendors
have considered the options for meeting this growing
demand for an open architecture and graphic
interface. The choices include replacement or
rewriting. Both incur time, expense and risk – three
things that most companies don’t have in abundance.
Yet the benefits of offering web access, modern
appearance, additional functionality and the ability
to quickly respond to customers, vendors and
partners are obvious.
INFINITE Software is the leading provider of legacy
application rehosting, web-enablement and
integration software and services for AS/400 and
mainframe applications. InfiniteWeb is a suite of
software tools that bring Legacy applications to the
web with a graphical user interface and allow them
to integrate with newer, objectoriented applications
over broad enterprises.
INFINITE Software designed INFINITEweb to provide
Legacy Modernization tools for AS/400 and Mainframe
applications. INFINITEweb easily creates vivid, web
page-like, graphical screen renderings that are
automatically web-deployed but..., INFINITEweb
is
more than just a design and deployment tool.
Because the underlying technology for INFINITE
web is object-oriented and web-based, the new
screens are represented as XML-usable objects. This
means that they can integrate very easily with other
J2EE or .NET built applications executing via the
Web. This technology allows the legacy applications
to interface and execute with other applications in
an enterprise utilizing web services. In fact, SOA
(Service Oriented Architecture) capabilities are a
significant part of INFINITEweb.
Midrange and mainframe applications direct core
business enterprises worldwide and represent a
tremendous amount of intellectual capital and
resource allocation. While these applications proved
adequate in the past, the introduction of the
Internet, newer database products and the drive to
use SOA standards now demand a more functional,
open-environment.
The need to retain knowledge of business processes
while having the ability to open up the architecture
for global access of applications and information is
critical today. |
