What is front-end?

Your company's employees need to perform a wide variety of complex tasks. Historically, however, powerful and complex tasks have required clumsy and ineffective tools and processes in order to accomplish them. This cycle must be broken. You need a powerful yet simple front-end application that harnesses the simplicity of the web.

Today, nearly every computer is equipped with a web browser that enables access to the World Wide Web. Their simplicity has revolutionized the way we work and learn, but by themselves, browsers are limited in scope and power. Although well suited to presenting basic textual and graphical information, they do not natively have the capacity to perform tasks on complex back-end servers.

Front-end applications fill the gap between a web browser's simplicity and a back-end server's extensive capabilities. In this scenario, the web browser would be used to send instructions to the backbone servers through the front-end application interface. The information that is returned from the servers would then be translated into an understandable form by the front-end as well. As a result, the web browser becomes an easy and simple way of working with a powerful, yet remote and complex server.

As an innovator in this field, Daphnia develops a wide variety of front-end applications, which allow our clients to perform complex tasks via a simple web browser interface.
