Today’s users have grown accustomed to the ease of use of modern Web-based applications. However, many organizations still depend on traditional text-oriented, host based applications which can be inefficient, difficult to use, and hard to change. Organizations are looking for efficient, secure and high performance access to this information from new and existing applications to improve customer satisfaction and drive new business growth.
