Custom Applications

DoIT staff can develop many different kinds of Web-based applications. Examples include:

• Web forms
  The Web can streamline both data collection from your customers and the delivery of that information to you. Using a Web form, the submitter can get immediate feedback based on the data entered and the data collected can be automatically and immediately processed by a computer application, and updates to the form are immediate and universal.
  
  
• Web search tools
  Often a set of documents can be best accessed by allowing the reader to search the contents for a particular word or phrase. Customized searching provides a search tool tailored to the content and organization in your documents.
  
  
• Web access to collections of images and related text
  Image collections can be made accessible to large groups of people by digitizing and cataloging the collection and publishing it electronically. The web, with its integration of image and text, is the perfect publishing tool. Applications of this type use the text in the catalog to provide search and browse access to the images in the collection.
  
  
• Web interface to existing data resources
  People have been collecting information in electronic databases for years. A custom application can reformat the information and create a web presentation. Publishing the information on the web makes it immediately available to large numbers of people regardless of what type of system they use.
