| What
is Rich-Client Development?
No!
It doesn't mean all our clients are in Fortune's Top 500!
Rich-Client
Development is the technology we've been using for the last 10 years.
The interface (front-end) we use is normally Microsoft Visual Basic
or Access.
In
terms of deployment, installation must take place on every machine
requiring the software. When
you need a new version, once again, you must run the Configuration program
on each machine.
The
advantages of Rich-Client applications are faster development right
from the start, with simpler implementation of changes.
Disadvantages
are "dll hell", and the hassles
of client-side installation.

Technology
Focussing
on Microsoft technologies allows SSW to attain the level of expertise
required to build the best possible solutions for its clients.
We
build solutions using Client/Server or 3-tier architecture using Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 with an Access 2000 or Visual Basic 6.0 interface. For
clients with less scalable database requirements we also develop using
Access for data storage (back-end.)
To
solve your messaging requirements SSW can install and configure Microsoft
Exchange Server 2000 and our
applications can be fully integrated with Microsoft Office to ensure your
business has a streamlined solution.
For
our clients Web Development requirements including
site design, data-driven web-sites and intranet/extranet applications,
we use ASP and Microsoft Visual Studio.NET.

technologies for industries such as finance, manufacturing, construction,

Server/ASP Users Group in Sydney for the last 8 years, regularly giving
