Beyond the Hype

Even if you feel overwhelmed by all the jargon and hype surrounding the web and related technologies, you will find that the web can provide useful benefits to you, today. The reason people are so excited about the web is because it provides universal access to information and services that you want to provide. As a technology, it's as big a leap forward as telephones were when they were introduced. Computer SI has solid experience building new web-based services, as well as enabling older services to be accessed over the web.

Interactivity and Availability

If early web technology was about static home pages and out-of-date content, today's business web is about web applications and up-to-date information. From e-commerce web sites that let you check pricing and availability information that's updated in real time to stock tickers that provide information as up to date as anything a broker can see, the usefulness of web technology is evident in every day life. The web is more than a marketing gimmick, it's the competitive edge that your business needs to succeed.

In addition, providing a web service means never having to worry about installation, client administration and all the costs and problems associated with traditional "fat client" services. With all your administration centralized at the server, you can now provide your vendors, clients and off-site employees access to services that are equivalent to anything they could have were they physically at your site.

Establish your presence on the Internet

The Internet can be a powerful means of attracting and supporting customers. If your company advertises at all, a web site is an absolute must. The reason is that people have come to expect that a company in which they are interested will appear somewhere on the Internet. They are now turning to the computer rather than the telephone when they need to reach a company for sales, help, news and other information. Consequently, a company's credibility - regardless of size - is undermined whenever someone fires up a browser saying, "Let's go to their web site..." and there isn't one.
