Mobile Showcase

Duane Mitchell, Next Generation SolutionsWelcome to the mobile version of the Next Generation Solutions website. Sorry we don't have any cool features here such as GPS links, events to register for, food to order for delivery, products to buy, or up-to-the-minute news or sports scores. We're a consulting company and that's what we want to build for you.

Our website is a fixed width website with separate mobile versions that was state-of-the-art just a few months ago. Boy do things change fast in technology. The current state-of-the-art in websites is the "responsive" website. That's one site that adapts, not scales, to different size viewing windows.

This mobile version is a separate version that is generated just for mobile devices.

Mobile data

  • Devices Supported: Laptops, iPad and other tablets, and of course iPhones and other mobile phones.
  • Medium of Presentation: webpage intereface and mobile apps

It's no longer a "convenience" to have data at your fingertips. We are now accustomed to it and require it. Everyday there are interesting new mobile apps available to connect people with places, events, and still more people. For the most part a good web interface is all you need.

Cross Platform

Cross Platform

  • Computing Platform: We develop desktop applications for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.
  • Web Browsers: current versions of the most popular web browsers are supported. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, and Opera.
  • Mobile Devices: iPhone, iPad, Droid, and many other mobile devices.

Device independency is a necessity. You do not want to limit your opportunities to connect with potential business because you did not develop your application, database, or website to accomodate the variety of modern devices and computing platforms.

Client Server

rb feature5

Client Server

  • Multi-user Environmnet: support anywhere from 2 to 3000 users.
  • Web Interface: the need for mobility requires a web interface to .

Xojo makes an excellent choice of developing client/server database applications given the choices of Relational Database Management Systems listed above. Wth Xojo you can quickly build a front end user interface and you can easily modify it to accomodate new feature requests. Perhaps the best reason to use Xojo is because you can compile applications for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux while writing just one body of code.

Xojo Web Edition, a separate product from Xojo Software, allows us to develop a web interface to your data. See the Mobile Data section below for more details.

Database Systems

DATABASE SYSTEMS

  • Choices Include: Oracle, MS Sql Server, MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, MariaDB, OBDC are the most popular choices.
  • Database Licensing: if your application requires a database there may be a cost associated with the licensing of the database depending on your choice of database.

Most applications involve data of some sort hence the need for a database. If your application is going to be run locally on one machine at a time then the single user SQLite is fine and won't cost a dime. If your application is intended to be used in a multi-user environment then you will need a multi-user database system. Good choices are the free open source databases of MySQL, MariaDB and Postgres. Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server lie at the high end of the spectrum.

Website Update

Next Generation Solutions, Boston, MA 02131 USANext Generation Solutions is happy to announce our updated website. It is our intent to make this site a showcase for modern web technologies. There's still some work to do but as 90% of it is done we are following the rule of thumb "don't let perfect get in the way of good". This site is built with mobile devices in mind first and foremost. Navigation can be awkward on mobile devices thus our use of a "mosaic" system. It's ease of use is as simple as a finger tap!

Cloud Services

Cloud Services

We are not quite ready to detail our services until we've got a couple of live sites to show. If you are interested in any of the following services contact us because we are ready to talk to you.

  • Hosted applications such as document management, online learning, digital asset management.
  • Custom database applications.
  • Specialized websites.
  • File storage.

We are excited about the prospect of a future where much of the features of a small business server can be hosted off-premises. The time is near where setup, configuration, administration, maintenance, and backups of a server are handled by a service as if it were just another online product.
