Product Comparison Table
Which product(s) best suit
your needs.
Diverse audiences demand flexible
user interface support. Knowledge workers and users of heavy
transaction-based applications need the responsive, productive
experiences offered by smart or rich clients. Global partners
and customers may be better suited to zero-deployment, pure
web-based interfaces, while a sales force may need to access
business applications via phones, PDAs and other mobile devices.
The same tool and a single repository to support multiple
web-based delivery channels can be used. For those that demand
it, emulation access is also available. The single toolset
including drag and drop designer, dynamic rules engine and
a lightweight development capability provide complete support
for multi-channel delivery.
