Ajax in CMS & DMS

Ever since the buzz surrounding Ajax and its advantages in the web applications has emanated, several application vendors have evaluated the amount of impact it can make on their application.

We too evaluated as to how this nascent technology could affect the applications we build: Content and Document Management systems. 
We studied the potential advantages of this technology. We then implemented it in a test application. The result was more than satisfactory:

1. Freedom from unnecessary refreshes: Applications like Content Management Systems and Document Management systems use a lot of dynamic data. Several fields get populated based on the values entered in the previous fields. The conventional approach required a lot of page refreshes to populate data. With AJAX fields are dynamically populated without a single refresh on the screen.
2. Time saver: The refresh reduction is directly proportional to time saved in application used. The applications have become much more efficient in terms of time consumed in performing data entry and manipulation tasks.
3. Fewer errors: An efficient application results in fewer errors and greater attention levels on the part of the application user. Since the application responds quickly, the user errors are greatly reduced.
4. Speedy Navigation : Quick Intuitive search option, similar to what search engines offer are better than the standard tree approach where thousands of indexed documents need to be searched.
5. Adding new terms on the fly: Ajax also gives the freedom of adding new terms on the fly anywhere on the screen without having to encounters pop-ups etc. The users can add terms on the same screen.
6. Reduced server load: The server load is greatly reduced by using AJAX as the peak loads are flattened out.
7. Making interface more word like: With more and more enhancements, we can slowly create a word like environment with real time spell check, dictionary etc.

Understanding the inherent advantages of this technology, we are using Ajax extensively for application development. We have developed several complex web applications in Ajax like Content and Document Management systems.

If you are looking for Ajax programmer / Programmers or web developers, Ajax software developers, please contact us. We have developed several Web applications using Ajax Support like CMS and DMS. We can provide Ajax samples or example web applications to show the effectiveness that Ajax brings to web application speed.
