DCOM <Distributed Component Object Model>: A technology that enables software components to communicate directly with each other across networks, including the Internet and intranets. A component architecture for building software applications will enable the software provider to achieve economies of scale for software deployment by:
Speeding development
Enabling programmers to build solutions faster by assembling software from prebuilt parts.Lowering integration costs
Providing a common set of interfaces for software programs from different vendors means less custom work is required to integrate components into complete solutions.Improving deployment flexibility
Making it easier to customize a software solution for different areas of a company by simply changing some of the components in the application.Lowering maintenance costs
Isolating software function into discrete components provides a low-cost, efficient mechanism to upgrade a component without having to retrofit the entire application.
The features of CG-Baker graphics engine are now encapsulated into DCOM server that developer can program client applications to render the glyph from remote server.
