Thin vs. Rich
The opposite of thin-client is rich-client, where the user's computer handles much of the processing. DML has found it useful to have experience in both methodologies. The rich-client approach is covered in the Application Software section.

Intranet Software?
Put simply, it involves running software from a server computer to which only the users you specify have access.
There are many advantages to this approach. Contact Us to see if your software needs could best be met with this type of solution.

DML has found that a thin-client approach--one where a centralized server handles most of the processing--is often a good fit to meet common business needs and environments.

Using this method, the majority of the software is set up on a central computer (either public, on the Internet, or private, on your own network). Usually, the only software required to use the system is a web browser, like the one you are using now.
In recent years, DML has found many benefits to the thin-client methodology, and has found new possiblities in the field through advances in technology.
Advantages to this approach:
