Microsoft .NET and the LANSA (System i)


Microsoft .NET and the System i

From: mfincham,

Microsoft has won the war for ‘the hearts and minds’ of mid-market customers against the Java camp. Java has failed to gain traction outside of the big enterprise users because it is too heavy (read complex and expensive). Microsoft’s approach is less disruptive and therefore well suited for extending, not just replacing, existing systems.



So, how might a classic System i shop take advantage of the .NET Framework and the Windows platform? presentation gives some examples of the potential intersections between a System i server (running core RPG or COBOL programs and a DB2 database) and various Microsoft products and technologies like ASP.NET, SharePoint, Office and CRM.
