  Thin Client ERP Software
The premise of thin client software is that it is a browser based system which displays applications that are run on a dedicated server.
By using thin client ERP software, constant PC desktop upgrades, the high cost of manpower to implement changes and disrupting the flow of business due to upgrades is eliminated.
Thin client ERP software can be beneficial in many business aspects, such as in marketing, sales, production, scheduling, delivery, accounting, billing, inventory management, quality management and human resources management.

  Thin client - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A thin client is a computer (client) in client-server architecture networks which depends primarily on the central server for processing activities.
Thin client hardware is generally cheaper because it does not contain a disk, application memory, or a powerful processor.
Thin client hardware, whether dedicated or simply older hardware that has been repurposed via cascading, is useless outside a client-server environment.

 The Flexus Thin Client, High Speed Internet Programs Using 100% COBOL
Thin Client solves this problem for you because most of the software resides only on the server.  However, before a client machine can be used for the first time, at least some software must be installed on it and that software may need to be updated at a future date.
Thin Client offers a special version control feature which is called on demand version control.  While standard version control works fine in most cases, there can be a delay if a panel file which needs to be updated is particularly large.
Thin Client provides facilities to protect the data stream from intrusion and modification (data encryption); to prevent access to systems by unauthorized clients (user authentication); and to allow only certified executables to be invoked on the server (executable file control).

 [ 3z.net ] What is Thin Client?
As the name implies “thin client” services are network services that only require a “thin” network connection to operate.
Thin Client services can operate very successfully using a simple modem connection or any type of network or Internet service.
With the extreme advances in server hardware over the past few years it is possible to build very economical thin client servers with enough power and resources to support up to 100 sessions or more on a single server.

 What is Thin Client Computing ?
This is precisely what a thin client does — provide all the benefits of centralized computing, ie powerful servers and simple terminals, with the ability to run modern Windows applications.
Instead, applications are executed on powerful servers while the Thin Client simply presents the screen display and gives you a way to operate the keyboard and mouse.
A Thin Client need only have sufficient power to render the display of your user session, therefore it does not need to be replaced or upgraded as new software and hardware versions are released.

 Thin Client Computing Information
This ensures that all clients access the current versions of an application because the software is installed once on a server, rather than every desktop throughout the company.
A thin client is a device (A PC, NC, or windows based terminal) that relies on a server for application execution and data, and performs little or no application processing.
The latest Clients and RDP protocol to ship with Windows 2000 Server will allow users to print on their client machine, and also cut and paste between a Windows 2000 Terminal Services session and their client device.

 Thin Planet - Microsoft Preps Thin Client for XP   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Thin clients, from an administrator's point of view, are a boon to the business in many ways.
Officials believe Eiger, which they refer to not as a thin client or smart client (define) but rather as a "mid-client," is designed to reduce the total cost of ownership of the company's desktop infrastructure — companies that might not have the resources to update to the latest hardware and operating systems.
Brian Madden, an independent industry analyst who runs a blog on thin clients, said Eiger isn't a new concept, but the Microsoft name attached to it will bring enterprise customers over some of the less-entrenched companies in the industry.

 WorkShop Visual User's Guide: 17 - Thin Client Smart Code
Both "Thin Client" and "Internet" Smart Code styles require the name of a Group to be passed to the callback.
Both thin client and Internet Smart Code styles use the standards of the World Wide Web as the means of communication between the generated client application and a server.
More files are generated for "Thin Client" and "Internet" than for "Get/Set" because, in addition to the getters and setters for the Group, all the code for the communication with a server is generated and, in the case of "Thin Client", the server side of your application too.

 Thin Client Computing, Server Based Computer Systems - System Design, Implementation and Support
Thin Client/Server Based Computing is defined by the fact that the application is executed on the server and displayed on the client system.
In all cases the "Thin Client" part means that end user device is only displaying the application, while the "Server Based" part means that application is actually executing on a different machine.
A "Thin Client" device is most often a dedicated "dumb terminal" with the ability to display applications running on a host server.

 Thin Client: May 2005 Archives
Microsoft is set to debut two Windows XP thin clients, one for low-end PCs for task-oriented workers, and another for mobile workers, according to sources.
The vendor is developing the Windows XP-based thin clients, code-named Eiger and Monch, to make it easier for system builders and partners to deploy pre-packaged thin-client solutions instead of customizing software on their own or using ISVs, sources said.
But sources said the thin clients are not low-end versions of Windows but rather alternative operating systems for customers that choose to use thin clients and a server-centric computing model rather than full PCs.

The term derives from the fact that small computers in networks tend to be clients and not servers.
Since the idea is to limit the capabilities of these computers to only essential applications, they tend to be purchased and remain "thin" in terms of the client applications they include.
Thin client is also used to describe software applications that use the client-server model where the server performs all the processing.

 Thin Client
Thin Client computing is the concept of delivering applications from a centralized file server to multiple users through a "thin" data stream.
Utilizing thin client technology, we gain the ability to deliver applications from centrally managed locations to local or remote end users anywhere in the world via LAN, WAN, or wireless communications.
Because applications are delivered from a centralized server, fully functional applications can now be delivered to just about any type of computing device or thin client terminal.
