Web-enabling Your Systems...
Software as a service. Install once, run everywhere.
Say goodbye to the days of installing your line of business applications on every computer from a CD.
Say goodbye to being
chained to conventional software on the desktop and say hello to secure access from anywhere.
Because the application logic, web forms, and other program objects reside on an application server, upgrades are as simple as pushing a new build to the server. There's no more install/uninstall/install cycle to go through when the application is modified or upgraded. View The Demo...
Two Different Models:
On site
If you have your own servers, your own high-speed, dedicated internet service, your own operating system, application
server and database server licenses, then you can host your line of business and reporting applications
yourself. You'll realize the advantage of having a centralized database and application code, but there is, of course, much more expense associated with owning all this infrastructure.
Managed Hosting
A better way for many small businesses to manage the expense of of servers, bandwidth, licenses and security is
to have their applications hosted at a high-availability data center. One monthly expense covers it all. In fact,
the development cost of your applications can be combined with the monthly hosting fees and spread out over a
period of time. ITCS has partnered with industry leader Rackspace to deliver high reliability,
high availability managed servers.

Rich Client Interface
These are not the crude "web pages" of even a year or two ago. These are rich-client,
desktop-like applications with pop up windows, modal data entry dialog boxes, and sophisticated client-side
data validation that are rendered in standard web browsers -- Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari .
Web 2.0 and AJAX (asynchronous JavaScript and XML) programming techniques give you the look, feel and
performance the you're used to in traditional Windows® desktop applications. Since they operate in a browser,
there's nothing to install. No conflicts with other applications, no version or DLL conflicts, no need to
have tech support touch the desktop. This all adds up to lower total cost of ownership.

Asynchronous callbacks to the server means that only the data or portion of the interface that needs to be updated will be refreshed. Sortable, scrollable datagrids and tables update with speed normally expected from having the data stored locally - even if it's on a server thousands of miles away.
And because the presentation layer is rendered in a standard web browser, employees and business partners can have secure, role-based access from anywhere there's an internet connection. If you can access your line of business applications, your data, your critical business functions from anywhere, why would you have it any other way.

Let this new paradigm, software as a service, put you in control of your IT -- not the other way around.
