NetManage claims these products, called the OnWeb eBusiness Product Portfolio, should decrease the time it takes a company to get legacy applications.
Users simply connect to the Web server via a browser and access applications over the Internet.
The NetManage portfolio consists of three software components that run on Windows NT and Unix servers now and will run on Windows 2000 in the future. Multiple back-end host applications can be integrated at once via this package. The next component is the OnWeb ePublisher, which will let users take traditional legacy 3270 and 5250 green-screen applications and convert them to a Web format, while keeping many of the attributes of the original host. The ePublisher runs on Windows NT and Windows 2000. Also included in the portfolio is the OnWeb eBusiness Development Kit, which lets customers craft object-based applications with standard Java or Microsoft developer tools.
