Operating Systems

Our WebCMS content management systems are able to operate in either Windows or Unix/Linux environments. They are equally effective running on individual computers, small home office or business networks, or on enterprise level web servers. These can be internal systems or external web servers suitable for hosting your extranet operation or public access website e-commerce business.

The popular Apache based PHP scripting language and related mySQL relational database backend provides an efficient, versatile and cost effective data handling capability to boost your dynamic online content and product information presentation.

The backend database is used as a content management tool, as a readily expandable product database for your shopping cart selling process, or as an effective document management tool within a highly interactive Intranet or Extranet business system.

DDC are able to design the appropriate relational database to suit your requirements, migrating the required data from other existing data sources as necessary, and implement a streamlined indexed database to serve your online operation.

Since our WAMP / LAMP installations are based on open source software providers we are able to keep systemware costs to a very low level where local server installations are required, while most external web servers normally offer almost identical facilities and require very little upgrading. It is normally a reasonably simple matter to install your website and content management system directly since DDC try to use standard setups and recognized system parameters wherever possible.

All our WebCMS content management systems use dynamic programming extensions and plugins commonly found on external web servers to minimise any requirements for sometimes complicated installation and setup of non-standard features. All the widely preferred web browsers use recognized W3C standard facilities which DDC support in our web developments.
