Since the Internet took off, companies have been finding new uses for the web browser: many internal systems are now delivered through internal websites (or Intranets). The reasons for this takeup are pretty simple: First, users find web applications much easier to use. Second, web technology doesn’t require any software to be installed on users’ computers, cutting rollout and PC upgrade costs.
These benefits mean that many companies are looking at their database systems and considering how they can web-enable them to extend their reach or improve usability. However, before starting such a project, there are two key questions to ask:
- Is the data to be available internally (i.e on an Intranet) or externally (i.e on the Internet)?
- Does the company just want to show selected information, or convert the whole system to web-based operation?
The answers to these questions dictate, broadly speaking, how large and complex the project will be.
