Abstract

Horowitz describes how Web technology can offer a relatively painless way to extend the life of legacy systems, which are, by definition, both fragile and valuable. The Web can give aging applications a modern graphical interface, deliver them to employees' desktops regardless of platform, and grant access to databases distributed across the enterprise.
