Desktop Applications
Custom Desktop Application Development
Many companies think of web development as a singularly targeted enterprise that employs only those tools created for the web. This approach confines your business to dealing in what is often an unfamiliar environment to your customer. A customer's lack of familiarity causes lack of confidence in your site.
Desktop applications provide a rich, user-friendly environment that offers familiarity to your customers. Bringing a browser website to a desktop-application format requires a strong architectural base that provides an easy transition to the desktop environment. Browsers can seem unfriendly, cold and un-business like to many consumers. Transitioning your web environment to the desktop requires a professional appearance with minimal customer involvement. How this is managed is a key tool in WinLum's strategy to provide a customer-friendly atmosphere.
WinLum excels in the customized development of web-based software, integrated smoothly into desktop-like applications that create customer confidence and trust. Our ability to tailor an environment exclusive to your business, and our customer service, eliminates a need to search elsewhere for solutions to these transitional problems. WinLum prides itself in its ability to design a system right the first time, making transitions from web applications to desktop applications and back virtually unnoticeable to your customers.
Expert .NET Software Development
The Windows .NET framework represents a unified approach for building distributed, scalable, multi-tier applications in a comprehensive, scalable, technical foundation that is ideal for the design and deployment of scalable and extensible systems. It is designed to take advantage of the amalgamation of web based applications with desktop applications.
WinLum's consultants work with multiple avenues to deploy a multi-tiered approach to site management. There are 5 main concerns in dealing with each aspect.
On the web side:
- We want to use a customer's browser knowledge.
- We want to make your information accessible in all environments. Many computer users are limited in what they can download or in sites they can visit, and/or the computer they are on may not be their own.
- Browsers are easy to access.
- Browsers retain a record of sites visited, and have a tool bar.
- With today's technology, cross platform utilization is a must.
On the desktop side, there are these considerations:
- How your application looks to a viewer is often determined by tool bars and add-ons on the customer's desktop. A friendly interaction with these customer-generated tools is a must.
- Desktop Applications rarely crash and are not as dependent on internet function.
- Using a customer's desktop's resources minimizes the bandwidth you need to deploy your site on their computer.
- Desktop features that may be important to your brand increase customer comfort at minimal cost.
- There are natural limitations built into what a browser can do. By shifting certain functions to a desktop application, you minimize the limits that exist in proposed applications currently being generated.
