A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I love watching high-tech action movies and shows. Many times I’ve seen the “hero” poring through hundreds of high resolution images of the bad guy or instantly pull up a comprehensive background check displaying address, contact and employment history with a big picture of the suspect’s face at the top.

After working at Siebel/Oracle for many years, I realized how difficult these scenarios really were….even with the fastest databases and servers available, enterprise-class software applications take a major speed hit when they try to display large pictures and rich graphics.

Well…things have changed. New technology from Microsoft enables us to embed not only pictures, but also video clips, slide-shows, graphics and other file types and display them immediately on the UI without performance degredation. It’s really cool…valuable too! Want to see it? Ask for a demo of our new app…Metrix 5!
