Web-based technology 'thins' out a network; client-server networks, reliant on 'fat client' applications, are giving way to browser systems
Article Abstract:
Law firms which adopt Web-browser technology may find that the benefits of owning such technology rather than the more traditional client-server systems far outweigh the drawbacks. Among the benefits are ease of deployment; worldwide data access on the Internet; and compatibility with any hardware. Among the drawbacks are the slowness of Hypertext Markup Language, the only effective means of obtaining data, in graphically intense applications; the centralization of data; the sluggishness of performance if the server has insufficient power; and security.

Teleconferencing and videoconferencing equipment and facilities can be rented, portable or permanent, but sound and video quality may vary. Alternative options to fax machines include transmission through videoconferencing or modems.
