Re-engineering for Intranet/Internet After Y2K and euro issues have been handled, the legacy systems will simply continue doing what they've been doing all along without adding extra value. In order to maximize leverage from their investment in information systems, many companies are going to want to re-engineer their legacy system for use on the web. In the longer term, this may end up being the "killer app" for this company. [from Informission's web site] The Intranet/Internet Challenge Most market analysts agree on the importance in coming years for businesses to invest in systems based on Intranet/Internet technologies. Currently, one of the most highly used strategies is the extension of existing systems. This strategy is also known as " application reuse ". According to this approach, rather than entirely replacing a data system that required several million dollars to develop and to make compatible with Year 2000 applications, firms are now considering extending the useful life of their current applications by encapsulating them within a new framework using Web-based technologies. The Informission Solution With its specialized expertise in re-engineering large data systems and in the development of Intranet/Internet applications, Informission Group is using its RECYC-WEB Objets Factorytm software, presently in development, to rapidly build transactional Intranet applications by reusing functionalities already existing in systems. This reverse-engineering approach is similar to that used for Year 2000 conversion with RECYC2000tm software. Once again, Informission Group distinguishes itself by offering an integrated solution that aims at prolonging the useful life of business computer systems for less than it would cost to replace them. The Intranet/Internet Re-engineering solution proposed by Informission can be employed on a client's premises or through Informission's Intranet/Internet Excellence Center.
