How can BIS-created Internet sites provide both high content and high performance?
We call it our Rich Client architecture. Essentially, a vast majority of the data available on a business site is static. A small percentage of the information or database is dynamic or needs to be regularly updated. For example, a retail clothing Web site may picture various articles of clothing in different styles and colors. Static information like category names, descriptions, sizes, and reference numbers do not have to be changed. Pricing and inventory status, however, are dynamic data and may be updated more frequently. With Rich Client architecture, both sets of data are on display when the user clicks onto the Internet site. The key is that most of the static data (plus the application program itself) were loaded into the user s computer via CD (or Internet download), and only the dynamic data need be accessed via a remote Internet Server. By transparently merging the static and dynamic data, which keeps the bulk of the data available at the desktop, an Internet site created us
