And all of this was accomplished within budget. The Application Methods staff put together a pilot in just a few weeks, using IIS, and the client was impressed. Server 4.0 security model across all the applications in the intranet solution, including Microsoft SQL Server TM , IIS, and Microsoft Exchange Server. We did not need to develop additional security modules. The customer also sees the benefits of integrated security.
Users log on only once in the morning and have access to all of the applications.
This tremendously reduces development and support costs. This customer already owned Microsoft products, so we could walk into their office and begin developing immediately. The solution uses Windows NT Server, IIS, Microsoft Exchange Server, SQL Server, and Microsoft Internet Explorer on the desktop. Microsoft Merchant Server is another product Application Methods uses frequently. We've found Microsoft Merchant Server to be a very high-end product that supports standard ODBC databases and scripting languages.
