Summary
The Smart Client Software Factory provides integrated guidance that assists architects and developers to create composite smart client applications. These applications have one or more of the following characteristics:
- They have a rich user interface that takes full advantage of the Windows® operating system.
- They connect to multiple back-end systems to exchange data with them.
- They present information from multiple and diverse sources in an integrated user interface, so that the data looks like it came from one back-end system.
- They take advantage of local storage and processing resources to enable operation during periods of no network connectivity or intermittent network connectivity.
- They are easily deployed and configured.
