Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for transparently interfacing with legacy line of business applications is provided. A plurality of legacy line of business applications execute on a line of business server platform. A connector is interfaced to each legacy line of business application. Each legacy line of business application implements business logic for a specific business need. A dashboard application executes on a client platform into which at least one Widget application is tailored to and installed for one or more of the legacy line of business applications. An enterprise collaboration server executes on a collaboration server platform communicatively interposed between the line of business server platform and the client platform. A data access framework coupled to the dashboard application is provided through a user interface layer. A data service bus coupled to the line of business applications through their respective connector and to the data access framework is provided.
