WorldCom investigated how it could open up its network management applications so customers could remotely access the information they need. It was discovered that the only way of doing this would be by web-enabling the applications and making them available through a private intranet. WorldCom estimated it would cost $60 million to re-engineer its telecommunications applications in Java code. It would also take many years to complete the work. Instead, Tarantella web-enabling software was used to web-enable the applications overnight. In the process, Tarantella delivered major cost savings.
