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!
