Internet Applications

Internet applications have transformed the concept of software applications, creating an interface and experience that is independent of the operating system without the need to install software. Internet applications are utilized by virtually every industry, from auction engines like eBay to Customer Relationship Management applications like Salesforce.com. Forward thinking organizations are seeking to develop their own Internet applications to meet the specific needs of their stakeholders. Internet applications can help realize cost savings, increase productivity, boost customer satisfaction ratings and provide a source of competitive differentiation. Think of it as turbo-charging your business processes.

ALIGMA provides two primary types of Internet application development, traditional web application development and Rich Internet Application (RIA) development.

Traditional Web Application

This approach to web development is predicated on a client-server architecture, using the web browser as a thin client. All computations and processing is done on the server and the client is used to display static HTML content. Traditional web applications can be rapidly developed at a relatively low cost; which have made them the standard adopted by most organizations today.

Rich Internet Application (RIA)

RIA’s utilize client side technology to execute processing on the end user's computer rather than the server. This allows Rich Internet Applications to execute commands more quickly and create a better user experience. Sliders, drop-downs and other data manipulators can be used in real-time to extract results and apply a process more efficiently. Rich Internet Applications are a key element of what many consider to be Web 2.0.
