Abstract:
1. A system for permitting a user to access data on a legacy system and an intranet, comprising: a systems interface coupled to the legacy system, wherein the systems interface comprises at least one network address that can be accessed by a computer, wherein the systems interface comprises a first server for managing protocol regarding the computer interfacing with a second server for generating transactions regarding the legacy system, wherein the first server is in direct communication with the intranet, wherein the systems interface is adapted to direct communications from the computer from the at least one network address to a separate network address corresponding to the intranet that is distinct from the legacy system upon detecting that the user has launched a browser on the computer by the first server for managing protocol bypassing the second server by directing the communications from the computer directly to the intranet, wherein the communications from the computer are directed from the systems interface to the intranet by the second server sending a command to the first server to direct the computer to the separate network address by bypassing the second server, wherein in response to detecting that the user has launched a browser, the system interface determines whether to grant access to the intranet by comparing, at the second server, a user ID used to logon to the first server to a list of authorized intranet users; and wherein further, the computer is in communication with both the at least one network address and the separate network address such that communication with the legacy systems and the intranet is maintained concurrently.
