Client server application vs. web application in task management

Competition " Client server application vs. web application" (which one of these two technologies is the best?) is an old doubt that refers to difference between these two types of software. There are different business purposes that can be served by applications which belong to these two technologies. Example of area where web-based or client server applications can be used is business management – for example client server ERP systems that serve the needs of enterprise resource management, or task management systems where client server functions allow to instantly update information. In order to consider the competition of client server application vs. web application let's state what to understand under both of these terms.

Client server applicationswork according to principle of establishing connection between client and server components of software, usually this works via local network. Client server based application can be applied in areas where sharing of data is required. One of the main client server functions is keeping users connected to up-to-date information that is managed through one shared database placed on a server. In such a way client server applications allow users to be interconnected in real time – if one of them modifies information in the shared database – all users connected to this system can instantly see updated information through their client applications. One of the areas where client server applications are widely applied is project management. One of the most typical client server applications examples is VIP Task Manager that is designed for task management in project teams. This is client server Windows application that should be installed on Windows-operated server and computers.

Client server web applications (client server web based applications) actually are a sort of client server based applications as well, but they work via the Web, through web-browsers, using HTML and PHP. Web-based client server functions in task management are helpful when team of users who work in different allocated places need to collaborate at shared project, but if a workgroup of collaborators work within the same office – it is not a good idea to use any sort of client server web applications (client server web based applications) as far as users of such client server based application need to connect some remote server that is placed somewhere in the Internet and client server security of such connection is not ensured against some essential problems connected to availability and speed of Internet connection, security of remote server, compatibility of web-browsers.

Unlike the most web-based solutions, the main client server advantages peculiar to client server Windows application (like VIP Task Manager ) is that it can be installed within your local network, so client server security is guaranteed, and speed of performance is supported by powerful means of your local network.VIP Task Manager is workgroup management software which is easy in installation and client server setup,so complete ready-to-go installation can be performed over your LAN just in few minutes.
