Problem statement :    understanding open-systems ...3-tier architecture, 2 -tier architecures

                       contrasting with mainframes, as/400 ...s/390 other midrange systems.

Opportunity :  Further to as envisaged and published by this individual in the above context,

               deriving from how data-providers (oledb), data source-name compliant with ODBC,

               ...innovative set of data-marshalling (one or two way) ...can be put in place for
               these legacy systems as envisaged above.

               Thus giving a wide-range of scope and possibilities ....ability to integrate with
               other intra or inter company wide systems and create a more harmonious environments.

               the above context ...scope for usage of message-queuing , other data marshalling systems or
               adapters to achieve the same.

        ....apply appropriate
      'use-case' modeling, rationalize and arrive at a workable and feasible 
       solution both commercially and techinically viable.
