Component Object Model: Perfect Solution For Distributed Software Applications

With the advent of the internet, applications and information are connected and distributed across multiple servers from remote locations. The data is processed and accessed via web browsers and user interfaces. But, the development and deployment of business applications on several server systems are faced with many problems. These mission-critical business applications, called as distributed software applications, face many communication issues among different platforms, securities as well as programming languages. Thankfully, there are some promising technologies that prove to be helpful in promoting such applications. One such technology is the Component Object Model or COM, a framework developed by Microsoft that develops and supports program component objects.
The capabilities of COM are similar to those defined in the CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture)--another framework supported by other significant companies in the IT industry. A Component Object Model provides the underlying services life cycle management, licensing, interface negotiation and interface negotiation. COM generally includes DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) COM+ and ActiveX interfaces. The best advantage of COM is that blocks of code written for COM can be reused without depending on the language in which they are written or coded.
In custom software application development field, COM promotes component-based software development. Component-based application development has many advantages such as the ability to employ pre-packaged tools and components from third party vendors into an application. Com also supports code reusability. The COM components are designed to isolate themselves from single applications and hence can be accessed by other different applications without any hassles.
If you need to outsource software development to offshore Software Development Company, make sure the company is well-versed with the COM framework. Software development services in India use this technology to promote critical applications that need to be developed and deployed on several server systems. The component Objective Model is a vital technology in the field of custom software application development as it addresses many problems associated with the design of distributed software components.
