Web-based software does not necessarily refer to software that runs on the World Wide Web. Web-based software is defined as, "Software that uses a standard web browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape) as its user interface. Most web-based software is powered by a powerful database server, such as SQL and Oracle.
Web-based software can be designed to run locally on one user's computer or be used by many concurrent users across LANs (intranets), WANs (extranets) or the World Wide Web (internet).
Digital Graphiti specializes in the creation, development, and deployment of business-critical solutions spanning the entire enterprise. Examples of web-based software include:
-
- An online ordering system where users can order a company's products via the internet is a perfect example of web-based software designed as an interface between Business and Customers. This is classic B-to-C type software.
- An internal product management system that allows the company to electronically inventory parts. This system would run on the company's internal network and is available to internal personnel only.
- A private extranet application that allows field representatives to log in with a user name and password to view their client account activity. A field rep could view his orders, the status of shipping and fulfillment, etc. from anywhere in the world using a standard web browser.
