LEVERAGING DATABASE EXPERTISE

UNIF/X World Wide Web Division was established in 1995 to leverage
our expertise with database applications and systems. We offer

web page designers in the US. What's more, our real expertise lies in
expanding the functional capabilities of Web Sites - and building
cost effective Intranets.

As an innovator in database technologies, we have - and are
continuing to develop - cutting edge methods to help clients mine gold
from the Internet.

LINKING BUSINESS SYSTEMS TO THE INTERNET

Linking new or existing business systems to the Internet allows
companies to achieve the productivity and efficiency benefits of
serving customers and employees on-line. Some examples include:

In addition to browsing a Web Page for items for sale, customers
can access your database of items for sale. When the customer
places an order, the data from that order will be seamlessly routed
to order management, accounting, and inventory control systems.

Customers can interact with your business system, via your Web
Site. For example, they can submit search criteria (to get a date, or
their account balance), and receive query results immediately
(eligible bachelors/bachelorettes, or the amount their account is overdrawn!)

Customers or other users can also access information via your Web
Site - whether it is current and changing (airline arrivals) or
historical and static (encyclopedic knowledge, or historical
financial data). Many companies are using Web Sites that are
integrated with backend database systems as information servers
on their own Intranets, to post company and employee information.

to the web.

WEB SERVICES

HOW DO WE LINK OUR BUSINESS SYSTEM TO THE WEB?

1. Design Issues - Functionality & Performance
Building a truly interactive Web Site involves careful planning.
The Web Page must be graphically attractive, and well put together. It should
allow the visitor to easily understand what to do in order to access and
efficiently work with the backend system. In effect, the Web Page serves
as the user-friendly interface, or database application front-end.

2. Security Issues
In addition to the usual security issues that arise when setting up a Web
Server, you must address security issues that will arise because some or
all of your business systems will be accessible to all visitors to your Web
Site. However, at the same time, you must still allow visitors to easily
interact with these business systems.

3. Building Databases and Links
Finally, you must design and build the backend database system, or
prepare your existing system for this new use, and create the appropriate
links to the Web Site.

systems can provide to your Intranet or Web site.
