Abstract: A novel system and method for interfacing with legacy systems is provided. An enterprise server or host server hosts a front-end interface to a user. The front-end interface is operable to obtain information from the user that is otherwise required to operate the legacy systems. After collecting the information from the user, the enterprise server can then interface with one or more legacy systems, thereby accessing the functionality of the legacy system(s) thereby obviating the need to replace the legacy system with an updated system customized to the enterprise server. A method for recovering a system that interfaces with a legacy system is also provided.
