Starsite XML

Extensible Markup Language for the Web

Connecting data to the web
StarSite allows a programmer to directly connect Multi-value data in real-time, with browser-based Web or Intranet applications. Web pages designed by graphic artists can interface with real-time data and follow enterprise level business rules and logic. The need for complex CGI or PERL scripts can be eliminated, reducing maintenance costs.

With StarSite, one set of "business rules" (logic) supports browser based (web) applications, GUI (Graphic User Interface) and Text (dumb terminals), simplifying support and increasing the reliability of information.

Client side displays using "thin-client" browser based input screens can be developed using industry standard Web page development tools such as DreamWeaver, Microsoft Front Page, Adobe Page Mill or other HTML tools to simplify the process of creating and editing HTML documents for the Web or Intranet.

Power and flexiblity
StarSite-XML offers extreme flexibility in the creation of dynamic, content-based web pages or Intranet applications. StarSite-XML can reduce the workload involved in developing web applications that gather (post) or display (get) information. Sophisticated applications can be developed incorporating Java script, Java, graphic images, sound and more.

Integrity and reliability:
Data validations follow the same rules as in-house systems, improving the reliability of information gathered from the web. Business rules are maintained exclusively on the host with StarSite.

The host-based approach taken with StarSite ensures that only current program source is used, no matter where the user is located. StarSite eliminates the need for parallel application development, complicated delivery schemes or time-consuming and often troublesome installation procedures.

StarSite-XML :: Enabling business to do business on the Web
The power of StarSite-XML stems from 'expandable functions' and API's that simplify the job of connecting an HTML or Java form to the data. StarSite applications use the same business rules and logic found in GUI or character based applications developed using Nucleus Technology.

This is important because:

• Information shown will ALWAYS be current.
• Continual modification of HTML pages to keep current will no longer be necessary.
• Calls to the help-desk will be reduced.
• Content provided can vary based upon dynamically changing conditions.
• Options for individual users can change based on security profiles.
• Reports can be custom tailored to specific territories or individuals.
• Data from web applications will BE THE SAME as gathered by in-house applications.
• Data entry personnel will no longer be required to manually "re-enter" data.
• Multi-level security will restrict access of unauthorized personnel.
• Web based application maintenance costs will be reduced.

Custom forms
StarSite simplifies deployment of customized forms, based on reporting requirements, respondent profiles, work-group associations, territories or other conditions, eliminating redundant entry and reducing support requirements.

Business trends
With the adaptation of a web browser model, the display of graphic images and sounds offers a dramatic presentation tool for the e-commerce entrepreneur and powerful assistance to telemarketing operators who can now hire work-at-home employees, saving office space and reducing overhead.

Employees may now be hired by an organization, independent of location or their ability to travel. Talented and capable Tele-marketers can be drawn from the stable ranks of retired or physically disabled individuals with a home computer and inexpensive DSL or high-speed cable Internet connection. Support staff can be located anywhere in the world enabling 24 x 7 support by drawing on personnel pools from time zones across the world.
