Siebel 7 Web Client Types

Users can access Siebel eBusiness Applications through a number of different client types (deployment options). Client deployment options differ by the amount and type of software installed on the client machine, the application functionality available to the user, and the network requirements.

The following client deployment options are supported in this release of Siebel eBusiness Applications:

  • Siebel Web Client. Siebel Web Client runs in a standard browser from the client personal computer. The browser connects through a Web server to the Siebel eBusiness Application Server, which executes business logic and accesses data from the Siebel Database.
  • Siebel Mobile Web Client. Siebel Mobile Web Client is a portable Microsoft Windows client delivered through a Web browser that is designed for local data access and does not need to be connected to a server. Siebel Mobile Web Client meets the needs of field professionals who do not have continuous access to a network. Siebel Mobile Web Client uses a local database on each mobile machine. Periodically, the client must access the Siebel Remote Server through a dial-up, WAN, or LAN connection to synchronize data changes with the Siebel Database on the database server and Siebel File System. This client requires that you install Siebel software on the user's personal computer.
  • Siebel Tools Client. Siebel Tools Client is a dedicated Microsoft Windows client for users of Siebel Tools.
  • Siebel Handheld Client. Siebel Handheld Client is a mobile client for users of Siebel Handheld products.
  • Siebel Wireless Client. Siebel Wireless Client runs in a variety of WML and HTML browsers available for mobile devices such as PDAs, cell phones, and pagers, and does not require any Siebel software to be installed on the client. The browser connects through a wireless gateway, if required, and then through a Web server to the Siebel eBusiness Application Server, which executes business logic and accesses data from the Siebel database.

CAUTION:  Siebel Handheld Client and Siebel Wireless Client are not available client deployment options with Siebel eBusiness Applications Mid Market Edition.
