Advanced vs. Standard Web Client
Collaboration Center offers two web clients:
 The Advanced Web Client is the default web client and works
best over a fast Internet connection. It offers a full set of web
collaboration features including many components found in
popular desktop programs like Outlook. The Advanced Web
Client was developed with AJAX, a Web 2.0 technology that
creates full-featured and interactive web applications.
 The Standard Web Client – a reduced feature version for email,
calendar and contacts. The Standard Client is recommended
for users with older computers or a slow (e.g., dial-up) connection
to the Internet. The Standard Web Client utilizes an HTML
mode user interface.
