Web-Based Software Design Solutions
More and more software is moving to the web, and we have made web-based applications our specialty. Scorpion Technology has designed and built a proprietary development library based on the Microsoft .NET platform. Know as Topaz, this library allows our teams to speed products to market more quickly which means a lower cost to you, our client. Below are just some of the benefits our clients have found in migrating applications to a web-based model:
Lower Development Costs and Faster Time-to-Market.
It has been our experience that web-based software has a shorter time-to-market than desktop applications and can save a company thousands of dollars in development costs. By utilizing Topaz—our proprietary development library—our developers can quickly build and integrate data-driven applications saving your company time and money.
Topaz utilizes consistent design patterns and guidelines which enable your organization to establish consistency throughout your applications. This consistency gives your company a competitive advantage in managing information and data, and it contributes to lower long-term operating costs.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Application maintenance and support is something many companies don’t consider when looking at software development costs. Web-based applications provide a lower TCO because updates are made only at the server level—regardless of the number of users.
Troubleshooting desktop applications can be a nightmare. An application that runs perfectly on one person’s computer often has difficulty on another computer. This can be created by conflicting applications, unknown software on the computer or even simple configuration settings. However, troubleshooting up to a few server installations is far less time consuming and expensive than troubleshooting 25, 100, or 1,000 desktops installations. Think of it this way: when is the last time Google released a service pack for their website? It never happens because all updates and fixes to their website are done on their servers. You never have to install anything.
One other thing to consider is that web-based software developers are often less expensive than desktop developers. As the time comes for your company to hire technology staff to assume responsibility for your software, you can often save thousands of dollars per developer.
Easier Remote Access.
As telecommuting and the virtual office become more common, ensuring employees have access to mission-critical data can be cumbersome and costly when dealing with desktop applications. In fact, many companies with desktop applications invest in an online version of their software while keeping their desktop version. Such a decision can be costly when modifications must be made since there are now two applications that require development and support.
What if any member of your staff who needs access to information offsite could simply open an internet connection and access all information and processes over the web from anywhere in the world?
