The term 'client-server' was first used in the early 1980s. In the late 1980s, the first attempts to create and use client server database architecture were made. After some time, client server database architecture was used as a basis for software applications. Then such applications have transformed into powerful solutions that could be applied to management, organization and control of company's activities, its employees, and their tasks. Today the mentioned applications are called 'client server database software' or 'client server database systems'.

You can find many client server database software solutions. They successfully compete with online and web-based software and often become popular choices of office employees, managers and team leaders. Modern client server database software solutions for task management offer effective tools to help a manager or a team leader to transform a group of people into a productive team or workgroup that is able to accomplish tasks on schedule, per accepted specifications and within budget.

In most cases, client server database applications for task management are Windows-based. They are simple in installation, setting up and implementation, because a typical client server database application has an intuitive interface, convenient navigation and menu, powerful features for managing tasks, schedules and projects, and a tool for database management.
