RETROSPECTIVE OF WEB TECHNOLOGIES EVOLUTION IN DEVELOPMENT OF ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Alexander Andreevich Shinkarev

Abstract


Introduction. The first mentions of enterprise information systems refer to the 1960s. These systems developed over time, becoming more complex and allowing to solve a wide range of problems. The 1990s mark the beginning of the active development of web technologies. Naturally, they found way into the development of enterprise information systems used for various purposes. The purpose of the study was to describe the main stages in the development of web technologies, from the appearance of the hypertext markup language to modern single-page web applications, as well as the impact they had on approaches to the development of enterprise information systems. The author meant
to identify promising trends in web-based solutions that can be successfully used in the development
of enterprise information systems. Materials and methods. The paper discusses modern web techno­logies, their development from the dawn to the present day, as well as some tools recognized as obsolete, and the reasons why it is impossible to develop them further. Results. The paper gives the history of the emergence of various technologies, describes their impact on approaches to the implementation of enterprise systems, and a way to move from a desktop version of the system to an online one. Some predictions are made concerning the prospects of certain technological areas that have good chances
to successfully develop in the future. The author assesses the growing complexity of web applications, the way they merge with the server side development approaches and tools. The demand of software engineers who can develop both the server and client side of an application is rationalized.
