The Web browser is fast becoming the user interface of choice because it is much easier for users to master than typical Windows-based applications, and because it is the only requirement at the desktop - which greatly simplifies traditional client/server computing. Applications reside on centralized servers where they are more easily maintained, saving both time and money in IT administration activities.
Executive decision-makers are also attracted to the Web as a channel for extending the organization’s reach. Through the Internet, an organization can selectively open up its information and application resources for improved customer service, additional sales channels, or alternate communication channels.
PowerHouse Web satisfies all of these requirements by enabling you to deploy advanced data-driven solutions to the Internet or intranets quickly and easily. Select features of enterprise applications, such as Human Resources, Sales Order Processing, Inventory Management, Customer Service, and Billing can be presented to users, customers, and suppliers through an intuitive Web interface.
When users are knocking on the door your development team does not have time to learn one of the many 3GL-based Web development tools that are now on the market. With PowerHouse Web, your team can be productive immediately. They can develop applications and generate an HTML interface with PowerHouse 4GL or Axiant 4GL, benefiting from the renowned productivity of these tools, and then deploy the application to the Internet or intranet with PowerHouse Web.
PowerHouse Web’s scalable, distributed architecture allows you to locate your Web server, application server, and data server anywhere you want in a heterogeneous network. PowerHouse Web handles user requests through a distributed processing environment that minimizes or eliminates failure points and spreads the processing workload across multiple application server machines. Because processing can be distributed across many machines, the system can handle increasing numbers of users or greater workloads without affecting response times.
