TAS extends the capability of a traditional Web server to include SSP capability via TACL scripts, and several application-specific gateways for accessing legacy or applications. This allows programmers to dynamically build HTML content based on application or database content. In the case of legacy server environments, which are costly to maintain or modify, there is little or no change required to the application in order to grant access via Internet or intranet Web browsers.
