Web-enable your current client server applications in just weeks.
SynCo Technologies has developed a technology that allows the creation
and maintenance of database applications for the Internet incredibly quickly and inexpensively.
The technology is called Gen-i-Sys© (Generic-Internet-Systems) and is based
on ISAPI (Internet Server Application Program Interface) technology, which runs on IIS (Internet Information Server).
IIS is widely used and in fact is the most commonly used web server at Fortune 1,000 company web sites (47% use IIS). Much of the security for a Gen-i-Sys site is in the hands of the IIS Administrator. The assumed set up for one of our public sites would give anonymous access to a single directory containing a single file: The Gen-i-Sys ISAPI DLL (Dynamic Link Library). (The rest of the server is restricted.) All HTTP requests are handled by this DLL. The user must sign in to gain access to anything besides the Log In screen (generated by the DLL). Each subsequent request must contain a cookie that re-authenticates the identity of the user making the request. For public sites (as opposed to Intranet sites) which contain sensitive information, the site would be a secure site using SSL (Secure Socket Layer). All requests and responses would use this protocol (similar to banking on line). The DLL itself has access to the information that defines database connections and methods of retrieval. The Internet user can not get to this information.
The benefits of Gen-i-Sys and ISAPI/IIS technology are far-reaching. It can be extremely valuable to use Gen-i-Sys to create reliable solutions on short order. Utilizing this technology provides Intranet and Internet applications for a variety of your database needs at a substantially reduced cost and time-to-market.
