Demand and Supply Chain Planning Solution

Description

Demand Works, a Pennsylvania-based software company specializing in planning solutions for mid-market manufacturers and distributors, used UltraLightClient to add rich client features such as full-featured copy & paste, grids, and type-down searches to their HTML web application. In addition, they significantly improved the responsiveness of their heavy-duty planning GUI by cutting server roundtrips and message size. UltraLightClient provided a fast and proven opportunity to add rich client functions to their existing HTML application, while at same time retaining key thin client benefits such as server-side deployment.

Requirements

• Proven industrial strength product
• Server-side deployment
• Rich GUI functionality that is not available in HTML

Key Benefits

• ULC offers the best of both worlds: The IT department continues to benefit from server-side deployment while users profit from the richer GUI.
• Fewer server roundtrips improve responsiveness of complex GUIs
• Better GUIs offering more functionality have improved prospecting and customers are excited about the new product features.
