Web Applications
For many business needs the best architecture is a web based thin client. The advantages include:
- Familiar - Web applications are ubiquitous and the interface (browser) is familiar
to the end user.
- Easy to support - Web applications can be updated and supported without the problem
of distributing and installing software on many client PCs
- Remote access Users can access the application from any location with a browser
and an internet connection
- Cross Platform Web applications can accessed from any platform with a browser
including PCs, Macs and UNIX devises.
Note - There are also limitations of the Web Architecture and in some situations
there are now more appropriate architectures available (see Smart Clients ). Parabola can advise on the best architecture
for your needs.
Parabola has been designing and building web applications since 1999. We work with
organisations that need a technical partner to understand their needs and find an
effective solution. Some examples of our projects which delivered a Web Application
include the following.
-
-
Now-How Ltd In 2005 we were approached by an entrepreneur who had spotted
an opportunity in the Restaurant and Fast-Food industry for a web based labour scheduler.
Parabola worked closely with the client to design and optimise the solution using
their knowledge of the industry and our web design experience. The result was Quantum a powerful online
restaurant management system which was rolled out successfully in 2006.

Applied Market Information Parabola have been steadily building AMI's portfolio
of web applications since 2000. Initially we built their eCommerce web site and
have supported and improved their online services ever since. In 2006 we delivered
a facility to sell electronic publications online and implemented a web-based file
transfer tool to enable AMI to easily and quickly send large files to customers
and suppliers.
