; The new ThinkHealth =
version will provide improved performance for local or Internet users with a change in how=
data is loaded to the application — loading only information as it i=

times, Wafford said. |

What’s so smart about it? Built to take advantage of new XML technologies,=
smart client software delivers the best of both worlds, combining the reac=
h of the Internet with the power of local computing hardware. Like a browser-based application, smart=
client software can be deployed from a centralized Web server. Once deploy=
ed, smart client applications can be updated to the latest version with a s=
ingle click. With smart client technology, users can=
work with data even when they are not connected to the network that hosts =
the application. |
