Web Application Development

E811 delivered one of the first true web application systems for government in 1996: the Internet Routed Information System. What was then a pioneering concept has since become an industry standard. Web-enabled applications are superior to client-server or dumb terminal applications in almost every respect. Today, E811 uses the best development and distribution frameworks to leverage the advantages offered by corporate intranets, VPNs, and the Internet.

Using true three-tier and CVM architecture, E811 rapidly develops robust and extensible browser-based application systems. E811 utilizes the following technologies, among others:

Java Server Pages (JSP): JSP is E811's preferred platform-independent web application interface. Utilizing the open Jakarta Struts framework delivers truly reusable components that can be used for voice or GIS interfaces as well.

Maps and Geographic Information Systems (GIS): E811 is an ESRI partner and uses Arc-IMS servers to deliver high-quality and interoperable map interfaces to spatial data. E811 also participates in open-source GIS development, and is a source contributor to Grass GIS.

E811 web applications are always developed after a detailed assessment of the client's business needs.
