Portal Technology & Features

The IAEST Solutions, LLC Portal is designed to operate with most browsers - including those found in many mobile devices. 

The ability to identify and determine content by browser - including for mobile browsers - is one of the key features of this portal.

In order to allow for its operation with as many browsers as possible this portal has been implemented without the use of any script code that needs to be installed, authorized or executed on your PC.

Examples of other technologies that we have integrated into other web-based applications are available in the Samples tab of our portal.
