WebEnable

Putting legacy applications on the
Internet

 


Bladebrook's WebEnable product is a powerful tool to enable businesses to give customers, suppliers and their own employees access to their core systems without the need to replace them with systems that are already web enabled.

With customers expecting businesses to provide access to their products and services on the Internet, many businesses have had to replace their tried and tested applications with new systems simply to provide such facilities.

 

 

 

Functionality:

  • Minimises business impact
  • Cost effective
  • Fast & Efficient
  • Flexible designs 
  • Increases ROI on existing systems



"Bladebrook were proactive in suggesting the provision of a web browser application that provided our customers with access to their data held in our systems."

Bob Coleman, Project Manager


WebEnable provides a uniquely flexible method of publishing existing applications on the Internet.

The technology allows for feature rich, visually appealing applications to be built to give customers, suppliers and employees across the world access to legacy applications in a cost effective manner.

 

 

 


WebEnable from Bladebrook is different in that it allows existing legacy systems to be published on the Internet without any need to change them.
 
Although many web facing tools exist to enable existing systems to be 'put on the web', most of them do little more than replicate the green screen format within a web browser.

In today's business world, customers expect to be able to see friendly, distinctive and feature-rich interfaces to suppliers' systems.  Bladebrook have been pioneering such systems since the Internet started to be used by businesses.

We have found that our customers require the ability to provide their customers and suppliers with limited access to information within their core systems.  In many cases, customers are given access to the kind of information for which they would normally contact a help desk.  Our product provides functionality that not only reduces resource costs by allowing customers to access information for themselves but it also increases customer satisfaction which leads to increased sales.

The single most important thing to note about WebEnable is that it is flexible enough to be able to access information on a number of platforms without there being any need for the host system to be changed in any way.  This means that the existing system will continue to function as normal, reducing business risk. 

Unlike other solutions that 'screen scrape' information and present it on the web, our solutions access the underlying information held within the database.  This allows our solution to be independent of the host system and means that, should the layout of a screen change, no costly changes are required to the web enabled application.
