I worked for a company that had one of these ancient (probably mainframe) systems for inventory, business analytics etc. Users at the factory would access it via 3270 terminal emulators. It was clunky but usable. Until they wanted to stop paying for terminal emulator licenses and replaced it with a web gateway that translated the 3270 pages into HTML forms. That was pretty horrible to use and of course people began “forgetting” to record inventory moves and process steps. This was for six figure aerospace components so at the end of the day someone knew where they all were and what had been done, it just made it a lot harder to bill for milestones and wasted tons of time. Of course the software was like $15 a seat.
