41
David McGuire, Principal Engineer for the REMIS
migration project, says this about why the
Crystal Point solution was chosen, Crystal
Point's AppViewXS product enabled Northrop
Grumman, and more importantly, the U. S. Air
Forces REMIS System, to deploy successfully onto
the Global Combat Support System portal. 
AppViewXS Server-side solution allows for tight,
efficient integration between the REMIS Web
Application and the NonStop REMIS
application.  All Applet-based solutions were
rejected due to security and end-user
configuration issues.  The built-in AppViewXS
capability to customize the screens using Studio
as well as script transitions from one screen to
the next proved invaluable. The impact of the
AppViewXS product cannot be overstated. Without
it, REMIS had no viable option to deploy
incrementally.
