Web Applications, Web Based Software
Web applications, also known as web based software, are programs capable of replacing
desktop software, but run in your web browser. Increased network and internet speeds as well as progression in programming
languages mean that web applications are now a viable, and often favourable option. Typically, web applications are database
driven, and therefore choosing a company with database knowledge to build your web application is essential. Mediasmith work with
MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server on a daily basis and have extensive knowledge of Excel, Access and XML to cover your data
requirements!
Web Application Advantages
Web applications offer some compelling advantages over "traditional", desktop based applications:
- Performance - All the hard work in a web application is done by the server, meaning your desktop or laptop only needs the
power to run a web browser.
- Management - All the working files are kept in one location. This means that if there are changes to be made, it is one change
rather than 1 per user. Also backup is far easier with 1 location for all your web application files.
- Access - A web application is available anywhere in the World through an internet connection ... but only if you choose. If you
wish to open your web application to staff, suppliers or clients then there are certain security implications that Mediasmith will
discuss with you. There's nothing to worry about though if you follow our advice!
- Future Proof - Our web applications are built on the .NET Framework, a project that Microsoft are fully committed to the
further development of.
