Will IBM Marry Off WebFacing to HATS?
by Mary Lou Roberts

Dave Slater, IBM's iSeries application development product manager, scoffs at some of the rumors that have been published lately reporting that the company is poised to merge its two green-screen Web refacing tools, WebFacing and Host Access Transformation Services (HATS). "There's not much that is accurate in these reports," he says. "About the only thing that's correct is that we won't leave customers high and dry. We will protect our customers' investments."
