As you search for POS software, you may hear about Java-based software programs. This type of application gives you a lot of flexibility and allows you to run on almost any operating system. So if you already have a Linux server, Window, or MAC based system you can be sure that a Java application will run on it.

Java software allows you to run applications called "applets" that are written in the Java programming language. This software can be designed to do almost anything from a simple game to a technical and varied point of sale system.

Java was introduced to the public in 1995 with the Netscape Navigator Internet browser, which incorporated Java technology. Now, in its twelfth year, it is estimated that there are over 5 million Java software developers, as well as applications in every major industry. It is just this versatility, efficiency, platform portability, and security that has made it an ideal technology for the retail environment.
