ERP software for smart client benefits
Smart client technology has obvious advantages. To sum up can be summarized into three points, namely, local resources, make full use and enjoyment of the local user experience, with off-line connectivity, and intelligent deployment and automatic updates. Smart client application, a result of differences in functional levels shown in various forms and sizes because all the smart client applications have a feature that has the ability to use local resources, for example, for storage, processing or data capture hardware (for example, flash memory, CPU and scanners).
Within the framework of the enterprise or the Internet, smart client applications can be easily connected to the system and associated data exchange. Web services enable smart client solutions able to use industry-standard protocols (for example, XML, HTTP, and SOAP) to communicate with any type of remote system to exchange information. More importantly, regardless of whether connected to the Internet, smart client applications that can work properly. In the absence of network connectivity or intermittent network connection, the smart client can take advantage of local caching and processing instructions. This feature is a new generation of mobile information workers who highly value, especially in the designated mobile connectivity costs, duration and speed of the circumstances.
Need to be raised, the off-line functions can not only use in mobile scenarios, but also for desktop solution can also be used to update the offline architecture background thread on the back-end systems, thereby maintaining the user interface of the response and improve the overall end-user experience. The architecture can also provide cost and performance advantages, it is because the user interface does not require the smart client and the server to switch back and forth between. In addition, because smart client can only be exchanged with other systems in the background, the data needed, so you can convince people that it exchanged with other systems to reduce the amount of data (even in hard-wired client systems, such a reduction in bandwidth will bring tremendous benefits). This in turn would enhance the user interface (UI) response - because the UI is not rendered by the remote system.
Over the past is difficult client application deployment and updating. Will often be the case: Installing an application will break another application. Such as "DLL Hell" issues such as making installation and maintenance of client applications have become very difficult and thorny. Smart client technology to effectively solve the problem for example NEWSOFT smart client, although not entirely a zero-install, but it has been able to zero-maintenance, the client program that is using that to download, auto-matching version, support for HTTP, and truly embodies the "smart" features.
As the C / S and B / S are the inevitable limitations of the smart client happens to be able to solve their problems, can improve customer satisfaction and reduce TCO, therefore, experts say, is a smart client ERP Technology Development a new direction. In the next two to three years, smart client providers and users will gradually be recognized the industry will set off a smart client to migrate to the globe. |
