Hi All!

WWW) has changed how today's businesses
communicate.
WWW is not anymore only used to get and disseminate
information but employed as a tool for performance. Today's
websites are not just static pages but interactive tools that
enhance your business capabilities in real time. These
responsive sites are powered by the
web-based
applications that are capable of responding and interacting
with the user and allow skimming the information that is
relevant and is up to date.
To be more precise, a
web-based applications is the one
that uses a website as a front end and you can access this
website viz application from any computer connected to the
internet. The
web applications is delivered to users from
a web server. The most common
web applications you must
be using almost everyday is an e-mail like hotmail, yahoo etc.
Other
web-based applications that are used frequently to
interact with clients, partners and other businesses are:
Custom Relationship Management End-to-end web based recruitment
Online customer support software Online data collection,
analysis and reporting Online quote software Online product
database development Online ordering systems Personalization of
web page content SMS messaging integration Secure client areas
Secure areas to allow collaboration with business partners Web
Content Management Systems
Web based applications are all about convenience and
getting the combined power of desktop and server applications
with the accessibility of 24 hrs, anywhere and anytime.
Let's see how they become the most strategic business tools: No
installation and maintenance of the software: These
web
applications run on a web server, which you can access
through internet. You don't have the hassles of installing and
configuring a program. So, one does not need to worry about the
maintenance and troubleshooting or on heavy backups on the disk
space.
Cost effective: Since you are running the program from
someone else's computer and no license and space management on
your disk is required, so save heavily.
Latest updates available: Since someone else is hosting
the program and maintaining it remotely for you, so whenever
there are latest updates you just need to click on your web
browser as usual and avail the latest features of a
web
application.
Readily available data: To access your data you just need
to be connected to internet through your PC, which is no more a
novelty. So, wherever you are, you can get connected to your
data anytime. So the accessibility to your data is 24x7.
Multiple platforms: Almost all the
web based
applications are suitable for every web browser like
Internet Explorer, Netscape etc or whichever operating system
you have on your PC. The
web application will always look
and function uniformly.
