Final Blog Post # 1

HONDA company (LANSA)


Web enablement is a technique for making existing computer systems available via the Internet. This technique is a popular form of application modernization as it can reduce costs by promoting self-service, allowing both internal users and outside customers to access information more conveniently than ever before.

Web-enablement can be very cost efficient because it is simple to both implement and deploy. For those organizations whose objectives are to merely extend the reach of their applications, this approach can provide the desired results. However, such a solution can have its limitations in that the application itself is not modernized and would still function in the same way with the rudimentary navigation and workflow.

LANSA provides a number of tools and solutions for Web-enabling and Web extension which range from screen refacing (screen scraping of System i, iSeries and AS/400 applications) through to the development of highly graphical browser interfaces with improved navigation, functionality and desktop integration which goes way beyond that of refacing. As with all solutions built with the LANSA application development platform, a solution that begins with basic Web enabling can be extended and built upon to deliver the benefits of a fully modernized application.
