Most traditional computer applications run on the users desktop and access information stored on a server across a network.In addition to supporting the server,the company must provide extensive desktop support for maintenance,debugging,updates, bug fixes,etc. That traditional "client/server" model is expensive to build, maintain and support, and is easily broken by new software installs, bugs or updates.
Main Street eliminates those headaches.
Main Street is built on a modern, well thought out foundation. This means that as improvements or new applications are added to Main Street, your users have access to the latest programs the next time they login. Traditional client/server tools require that the new programs be loaded on each computer, including the server. Support issues, bug fixes and new applications can be deployed much faster with Main Street than legacy client/server solutions.
Main Street supports a wide variety of web browsers, from those used with hand held PDA's (such as the Palm OS, RIM and Palm Phones) to laptops and fast desktop machines. Main Street's applications scale from very basic information to powerful media presentations including maps, audio, still and panoramic imaging, CMA, direct mail and sell sheets. The files are delivered using industry standard PDF's (portable document format). Your users can access Main Street ™ from their desktops, wireless laptops, internet phones and client's offices or homes, all via a standard web browser.
