Because it's powered by Allaire's ColdFusion, our developers have been able to launch sophisticated new applications in a matter of weeks. These custom-built applications address the specific needs of our business, so we don't waste time trying to adapt to generic software. Best of all, our intranet is easy use because everything works inside my Web browser. It's no surprise that Web-based intranets have become more common. The web is an inviting venue for an intranet.
Most employees use the internet regularly and can proficiently navigate in a Web browser.
With the use of ColdFusion, the Web can become a functional environment custom to a company's unique needs. ColdFusion is a development environment that facilitates dynamic, database-powered html page generation. Its core benefits can be illustrated with an example of one organization's need for a company directory system. The system needed to be web-based to ease accessibility to telecommuting employees, clients, and business partners. A static approach to this project would require programming of html pages for each employee and tedious programming of a menu page to each employee record.
