WEB SOLUTION

Contrary to a general belief that a web software solution can only be used where there is the presence of a good Internet connection, Web Software simply means-- A software product accessed with a standard web browser without the aid of other software on the user-side computer that runs the browser. Examples of browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla firefox, Smart browser, Opera and so on. So, one could call Web software products browser-native software applications. When I say browser-native, I mean no user side software is required to run the application but only a web browser.

Web software is installed on a single computer (Server) and is used to serve people on many computers. The location of the server computer can be one thousand miles away, on a web server on the Internet or inside your office. So, what a user requires is just a connection to the server through any kind of medium, permission to use the software by the server and the browser to connect and run the user-side of the application.

WHY WEB SOLUTION

Web solutions is gradually taking the center stage is many software solutions that requires say – more than 5 user computers – because of its many advantages. Examples of such environments are banks, corporate offices, etc. Many of the advantages are:

  1. Hardware Requirement – Many network solutions has proven to require higher hardware power to run effectively. But with a web software solution, any computer capable of doing a normal Internet browsing can be used to run the user-side of any web application. This means, a simple Pentium 1 CPU or its equivalent can be made a client in a web software environment. (Although bigger and faster computer enables faster Internet browsing and so increases performance of a web solution.)
  2. Easy to maintain – Maintenance in a web software environment is far easier. Any tweaking, Interface/functionality changes and other maintenance processes only need to be done on the server. Whereas enterprise-wide PC software requires enterprise-level IT supports, Web software does not.
  3. Deployment – Web software frees you from most of the PC world's upgrade, security, and deployment problems. For instance, a simple client-server application will require upgrading all the clients and server with a simple necessary upgrade while with a web solution it is not. Also in deployment, no client side software or upgrade is necessary to be part of the system.
  4. Heterogeneous and flexibility – Any PC, be it Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh can be used to run a client side of a web application. They can also be old or new. This allows varying degree and model of computer system on the same network used to run a user side of web software.
