The software features specialized applications such as note taking tools, and a Google services explorer to aid consumers in internet browsing. Its functionalities include quick search, and website load completion indicators. Several integrated software that assist the main application are bundled into the software itself but deployed externally through external shell deployment. The interface and its specialization is specifically programmed to enable the speedy access of information through more directive search methods and a simplistic interface. After its latest deployment by the author through an academic Computer Sciences project, it has been considerably noted by implementing it onto computer networks.
InfoCenter is proven to be extremely effective in institutions and other academic establishments due to its low computer resource consumption, and its mode of operation, eliminating history, cookie or password storage in the computer and preventing the end user to gain access to functionalities of a network where he/she does not have administrative rights.
