I posted the following at the end of 2002 and never got a response:

I have seen a german company who had a HRM program (forgot the name though)
that had modified code into several parts all using ASP code.

But I must admit, that the development costs must have been very huge. Most
of the work, was done using notepad and a lot of work was delegated to SQL
Server.
At the view side (client side html processing) a lot of calls were made to
utilities that created the HTML.
