NOW:
Company A already has a stand-alone CRM software app., which it sells to its clients: X, Y and Z.
The present CRM app. interacts with an "Interbase" DB (Borland), installed "in-house" @ each client X, Y, Z.
NEEDED:
Co. A wants to implement a web-based interface to this DB, so that its clients X, Y, Z can choose to install either:
a) the stand-alone software app, -or-
b) the web-interface to the DB
The Question(s):
---------------------
Q1) What is the best/simplest tech approach to generate this web interface? (language, OS?)
Q2) Could the web-interface interact with the DB, using/via the present CRM software app?
(so that the same business logic does not need to be replicated + maintained in 2 places: the present software app AND the new web-interface...).
Oh...and Co.A says the web-interface should be an OS-independent solution (not Win or Linux-specific).
Clients X, Y and Z may have Linux or Win web servers...
Any ideas/suggestions/pointers? Thanks!
What is the simplest way to add a web-interface to an existing stand-alone CRM software app?
You should be able to build a web based solution that talks directly to the DB that the CRM app talks to. Try building it using standard web languages such as Perl, PHP, or ASP, and it should run on most web servers and be correctly displayed on most browers.
