Cold Fusion can be used to create a wide variety of applications that integrate relational databases with the Web on Intranets and the Internet.
Applications range from dynamic Web sites to enterprise-wide groupware.
Cold Fusion enables dynamic, data-driven Web sites that use pages which are generated on the fly from information stored in databases and provided by users. Page content can be instantly customized based on user requests. Dynamic sites allow users to enter and retrieve information and offer unparalleled ease of maintenance and administration. More complicated applications include online customer feedback, order entry, event registration, bulletin-board style conferencing, technical support, interactive training, and a wide variety of information publishing applications. Instead, developers build applications by combining standard HTML with high-level database commands stored in templates.
