Client-Server Systems in Business Environments

The document discusses client-server systems in business environments. It describes how client-server systems consist of a centralized server connected to multiple clients through a network to share data. While the initial implementation of client-server systems prompted changes that were not always well-received, businesses have benefited from improved functionality, efficiency, and competitiveness over time. The future of client-server technology may involve greater use of cloud computing services, though there are also risks and liabilities to consider.
