Your ColdFusion Insurance Policy
WRIS Web Services specializes in ColdFusion website and application development. This can be beneficial for any company using ColdFusion, but especially for companies who run their business while leveraging a legacy platform. While we do build from scratch, our knowledge and experience can help your organization in several capacities.
Legacy ColdFusion SupportThe gift that keeps on giving.
If you have a ColdFusion application or website, you are probably over hearing ‘ColdFusion is dead’ ad nauseam. So are we. ColdFusion is NOT dead.
ColdFusion Emergencies
It’s the nature of the beast….sometimes, without warning...websites and applications break. You can blame it on the internet, technology, or the full moon. But at the end of the day, when you are in the middle of a ColdFusion emergency, you need someone to fix it.
Being Secure
You've probably heard of SSL. It stands for "Secure Sockets Layer." By definition, SSL is "a secure protocol developed for sending information securely over the Internet." Think of it this way...without SSL in place on a website, it's like having a private conversation with someone in the middle of Progressive Field. During an Indians game. Meaning anyone could hear it. But with SSL, that conversation takes place in a locked room with just you and the person you are talking to...much more private.
ColdFusion is NOT Dead!
If you’ve ever touched a computer at all, chances are you know what HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is. It’s how a website is built, right? But unless you are in the website development field or are responsible for a website built in it, you likely have not heard of CFML, or ColdFusion Markup Language. ColdFusion is an application development tool used for writing web pages that interact with databases, and contrary to what the uninformed may think, it is NOT a dead language.
