QuestaWeb updates application compatibility for newest browsers and devices

   The web-based global trade management solutions provider QuestaWeb said this week that its suite of TradeMaster applications is now compatible with the latest version of the HTML5 standard, including cross-browser compatibility with Internet Explorer 8-11, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari.
   The upgrade means users of the applications can “expect the same experience regardless of the browser or device employed,” the company said.
   The update follows six months of programming effort to retool both user- and server-side coding. QuestaWeb said the transition means the company can take advantage of more open-source projects and better leverage the functionality of JavaScript to incorporate new features.
   “Recognizing how important it is to our customers and their staffs to be able to work from remote locations using in-place technology and their desire to update in-house systems to 2014-era browsers, we expended the considerable resources necessary to research, test and transition our applications,” said Michael Hayes, HTML project leader at QuestaWeb. “Looking toward the future, QuestaWeb is already exploring a move into the world of mobile browsers and touch-friendly websites. We hope to one day achieve the same level of success in the mobile world that we have already accomplished on the desktop level.”
