ESX Donated Web Site Design and Services to the Houston SPCA   ESX just launched a new web site developed for the Houston Society  for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).  ESX, as a donation to support the non-profit organization, provided an entirely new site including creative design and the technology platform used for content management.   ESX developed the new site using our Community Catalyst Platform (Catalyst), a content management tool.  Using the Catalyst, the SPCA will be able to  delegate control over sections of the site to volunteers, who will then be able to easily update the content using a web browser.        Take a look at the new Houston SPCA web Site.      Updating Existing Software  Upgrading from DOS to Windows, or Web Enabling    Deciding to migrate existing software applications to a new platform is a big decision.  However, a lot of benefits are gained from doing it. A web interface can give legacy applications a modern graphical interface, deliver them to employees' desktops  regardless of platform, and grant secure access to distributed databases across the enterprise. Portions of the programs can be exposed over the Internet, allowing  high-value self-service transactions. This lowers the required number of customer service personnel, and adds a new dimension to the way customers and vendors can  interact with your business. Elements of your existing software can often be re-used as the foundation for the upgraded solution.      Vis it  our web site today to find out how we can help you map your migration path.
