Will Excelon and Javelin interoperate with Jacada's Java GUI front-end out of the box? Message 11887476 Application Service Providers (ASPs). What's happening with ASPs is software companies are putting a system on the Internet, with quality software, and then these ASP sites allow other companies to serve their customer base from the ASP system. An example is AgencyWorks, which is the first ASP available for life insurance. AgencyWorks is of particular interest to us because Ascensus Insurance Services and AMS Services, Inc. reengineered their existing AS/400 RPG applications for Internet deployment. They did this by using Jacada (www.jacada.com) to provide a Java GUI front-end to existing AS/400 applications. I expect more AS/400 software companies will leverage their software by redeploying it on the Internet. With their apps Internet ready, they, or just some young entrepreneur, will set up an ASP site so that other companies can use the powerful business application software that the AS/400 is known for without the burden of maintaining hardware and software.
