Smart Clients: the Next Wave in Computing

A true merger of the desktop and the Internet, Smart Clients are viewed by many to represent the next major wave in computing platforms.  "Smart Clients" combine the usability of Client/Server applications with the centralized deployment, security and connectivity of the Internet.  Smart Clients are a logical progression of the benefits pioneered by previous waves of computing platforms over the past several decades.   The Smart Client merges the Internet, Client/Server and Desktop business application models... taking the best from each, and leaving behind their shortcomings.

PCA is blazing the Smart Client trail with the Microsoft .NET platform.  Both Forrester & Gartner Group are rapidly gaining an understanding of how Smart Clients benefit large and small businesses.  The PCA Smart Client Platform allows you to deliver robust business solutions using the Internet as your worldwide LAN with full Client-Server functionality, today.
