Why WEB solutions?

Web applications are growing in popularity as businesses look for ways to leverage information technology to become more efficient.

Here are some of the reasons that we love web applications:
  • The data is maintained in one central location, so everybody sees the same information.
  • There is one source for the application software. It is maintained in one central spot and remains consistent.
  • Maintenance issues are simplified. Application software and hardwares are upgraded for you.
  • Most web applications (including FurnishWEB) are not dependent on the type of hardware, operating system or other software requirements.
  • Users can access the application from any PC, anywhere there is internet access.
  • Internet access is rapidly becoming a business requirement (Just ask Starbucks!).
  • Information is current, global, 24/7.
  • End users do not need to install anything for most functionality. All you need is a web browser. (Check out FurnishWEB's requirements)
Here at Internet Databases we practice what we preach. We subscribe to many great web applications:

Fresh Books - to track our time
Basecamp - to manage our projects
Highrise - to manage our contacts
Dabble DB - to manipulate sales and marketing information
CVSDude - to control our programming source code

Subscribing to these web applications frees us to focus on what we do best, create great software for the furniture industry.
