HOW THINWIRE CAME TO BE

In early 2000 the R&D team at Custom Credit Systems constructed a web-based framework called the WebTool. The goal of the framework was to provide a web-based interface to key features of our long-standing and powerful client-server based software. Its advanced techniques pushed the boundaries of what was common in a web browser for the time. As of 2005, those techniques have been unified under the umbrella term 'Ajax' and there are now a number of toolkits that provide varying levels of Ajax functionality.

By mid 2002, the experience and knowledge gained with the WebTool was leveraged to envision a significantly more ambitious framework, one that would serve as the foundation on which CCS would build all future products. The demands on the new framework would be great since it would have to support all of the capabilities of our client-server software and in-addition, it would have to be flexible enough to support converting existing and stable customer systems to it. Shortly after its first client release in early 2004, the new framework was given the name ThinWire®.

ThinWire® is now used to power the operational software of key divisions within a top ten bank. Additionally, many other clients are in the process of deploying software powered by ThinWire®. CCS is now working towards making this technology available to the public so that it may be used by others, to solve the complex requirements of todays web applications.
