ActiveX controls get installed in the browser container and can be used in future interactions with the same site or on different sites. They get downloaded to the local computer when users access the web page for the first time. Developers code these controls and deploy them on the server. Siebel leveraged “cool technology” of the time to accomplish this - ActiveX controls.ĪctiveX, a technology created and promoted by Microsoft, enables rich client applications. It enabled the “Siebel Web application”, which provided a centralised server accessible to clients through a standard browser.
HI assured in changes to Siebel and aligned it to the web world.
Prior to v7 Siebel was a typical client/server application - you had a client installed on the user computer to connect to the server (similar to today’s dedicated client).
HI was introduced back in the days of Siebel version 7 - we’re talking about early 2000’s here. Siebel High Interactivity, fondly called HI, was the default way of accessing Siebel application over the web or in offline mode - until Open UI made its debut.
