Well, Interesting announcement this morning!!
I have been hesitant to mention MVConnect as a great solution to modernize D3 since the product wasn't owned by the resource we are communicating on. As of today I can!!! While rocket has the MVToolkit that they are working on I prefer the MVConnect product as a solution and have built our web integration upon this product.
The product is light weight and allows full control of the disbursement of data via pick basic and the business logic you currently have in place.
MVConnect ROCKS!!!!
I encourage all to take a look at it as a solution to your modernization needs.
