Browser-Based Development

Solutions

What is Browser-Based Development?

Browser-based development saves you the hassles associated with deployment of Rich-Client development. If you develop a brower-based solution the application only needs to be installed once on the server. Anyone who wishes to use the application only requires a browser (we recommend IE) and access to the net. It's that simple.

Whenever a new version is released, all you need to do is update the server, and voila, everyone's got the new version on their machine, everyone's happy and no-one has to worry about DLL Hell!

DBS understands the ingredients of a successful browser-based solution, such as functionality, speed, simplicity and security. We have developed a wide range of solutions from basic brochure sites and corporate intranets to advanced extranets including:

  • Order management and tracking systems
  • Recruitment websites
  • Online catalogues
  • Shopping carts and e-Commerce systems

As corporations grow and end up with multiple office locations, trying to manage data systems (eg. contacts, invoices) across branches used to be a real head-ache. Today you have the option of Intranets, replication and/or VPNs.

DBS has experience implementing all such systems and are happy to work with you to get the best and most appropriate system implemented.

Methodology

DBS's proven Development Methodology covers Design and Development, Testing and Support and Maintenance.

In general we like to build every page of browser-based solutions in HTML before ANY coding. We find that as our clients develop a 'feel' for their web site, they are far better positioned to make rational judgments regarding functionality required and the priority of development.

Working together with the client each step of the way ensures the project remains on track and within budget.

What is an Extranet?

An Extranet is a database application that is accessible by authorised customers, suppliers and mobile workers over the web through a secure firewall.

Extranets are becoming an increasingly important means of delivering services and communicating efficiently.

Technology

Focusing on Microsoft technologies allows us to attain the level of expertise required to build the best possible solutions for its clients.

We build solutions using .Net or standard frameworks and Client/Server or 3-tier architecture using Microsoft SQL Server with ASP as the interface. For clients with less scalable data requirements we also develop using Access for data storage (the back-end).

For our clients Rich-Client Development requirements including in-house applications which don't require web access, we use Access or VB as the interface.

Experience

DBS has experience building applications using these technologies for industries such as finance, manufacturing, construction, food services, IT and insurance.
