Abstract

Client-Server Computing is now recognized as the most powerful and flexible computing mode of the future. Many companies have already committed significant amount of their corporate IS resources to building the client-server computing environment. Despite this active interest and commitment, however, results from such client-server projects are far from being convincing. Among the many factors, we suspect that the less than satisfactory client-server experiences are perhaps due to the company''s lack of understanding of its essential information processing characteristics.We analyze the five client-server architectures in terms of seven IS-related criteria. We then develop a contingency model to match company''s information processing characteristics to the ideal client-server architecture for the firm. Based on the client-server architecture analysis from the previous step, we recommend specific implementation strategies for each client-server architecture selected. Finally, on an exploratory level, we look into the three client-server implementation cases to check the validity of our contingency model.
