Web-enabled Database Solutions
A new model of providing custom software—Web-Enabled Database Solutions—has allowed software developers to provide incredibly powerful, cost-effective database solutions with extremely simple deployment to small businesses. The data and the software that manipulates the data, reside in a remote server. The business users access the application through a web browser.
Who can benefit from a web-enabled database?
- Businesses that need a reliable, stable custom database solution.
- Businesses who don’t want to be concerned with performing in-house data back-ups and
other administrative chores.
- Businesses that need to collect data in different geographic locations.
- Businesses that need the power of enterprise databases, but don’t want to incur the expense
or overhead of installing and managing a database server.
- Businesses that want to give their employees the flexibility of working from home, or while
away on business trips.
- Businesses that need their applications to grow, and want to ensure that all their users are
always working with the same current level of software.
- Businesses that are unable or unwilling to incur a large, up-front software development cost.
Often web-based solutions can be provided as a subscription service, thus distributing the expense over the life of the product. See eAppsDB and ChurchDB
