Custom Application

Reduced Total Costs

All of these advantages listed lead to overall lower costs of development and on-going maintenance of custom web applications over traditional desktop software.

Simplified Maintenance

Updates to desktop applications require re-installation on all machines that run the software. In a 1,000 person organization it can become quite tedious and expensive.

Web applications only need to be updated on the servers that host the application.

Rapid Development

Many web applications look and feel the same, and for a good reason. Users want and expect certain behavior based on their experience with other web applications.

At Entrance, we use tools and frameworks created by the open-source community to replicate standard and expected behaviors which allows us to rapidly kick-off new projects.

Cross-Platform

Traditional desktop applications target only Windows, and likely only a select few of Windows versions (XP, 7, 8, and 10). Web applications are not bound by these limitations, and can be used on Windows, Mac, Unix.

Additionally, web based mobile apps are becoming an increasingly popular mechanism to support mobile devices without building multiple applications for each of the mobile platforms (iOS, Android, and Windows).

Accsessibility

Web applications can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Remote and distributed teams are quickly becoming more popular thus increasing the importance of having global reach with software.
