While the applications do have acceptable performance over Local Area Networks and Intranets, traditional Progress® development environments prove to be too slow for delivery over the public internet, often still accessed by users through dial-up modems.

When organizations started deploying their WebClient® applications over the internet significant performance bottlenecks became apparent.

The automatic deployment and update mechanism supports and implements the Application Service Provider (ASP) model where end users ‘rent’ applications on a pay-as-you-go basis and are automatically ensured of running the latest version of the application. WebClient® enables the development of true ‘thin client’ applications to be distributed, deployed and maintained over networks without ever doing any work on the client machine.
