Client/Server Applications have always played a key role in operation of businesses. The ability to input, process, store, and access data anytime, anywhere and via any device is powering eBusinesses of today.
Ubiquitous and fast access to your services

Your employees, customers, and suppliers need data access that is secure, fast and reliable. As a business, you need secure systems that are robust, easy to maintain, and scalable.

Client/Server based applications are mostly utilized in the following areas:

• Accounting
• Distribution/Retail
• Financials
• Human resource management
• Inventory and assets management
• Planning
• Procurement and ordering
• Reporting
• Sales and marketing
• Workflow and messaging

Agnicient develops Client/Server Application and robust enterprise applications with user-friendly interfaces. Depending on your business requirements, we can also help in developing web-enabled applications and systems.

Client/Server Applications present the following main benefits:

Rich graphical user interface
One of the most attractive features of Client/Server Applications is the ease and speed with which a user can adapt to using a client designed for his or her machine. The Windows client looks and behaves like any other Windows program.

Instant response to user input
Unlike Web applications, Client/Server Applications do not require full screen refreshes for entering and retrieving data. Instead they allow users to select options, check boxes and input data in real time.

Faster development
Programmers can create those applications faster and cheaper using multiple window widgets such as trees, menus, and tabs, all of which have poor support under HTML.

Cross-platform compatibility
Client/Server Applications also eliminate costly Web cross-platform compatibility issues. For instance, Mozilla-based applications are cross-platform, meaning programs work the same on Windows as they do on Linux or the Mac OS.

Security
Traditional client-server development environments can rely on persistent connections between clients and servers. Web communications using HTTP are intermittent, meaning that they are constantly being established, torn down and reestablished as the browser requests pages and objects over the network. This lack of connection state is a major security limitation with HTTP. On the other hand, most modern Client/Server Applications use encrypted passwords and strict access control binding.

Accessibility
Unlike Web applications, Client/Server Applications can be compliant with Section 508 and other accessibility guidelines as they allow for direct manipulation of data, such as dragging and dropping elements, and client side-processing and storing data locally.
