The implementation of either the DLL or web service version of the Quik! software is the same, except for where the actual QuikFormsEngine.dll is being run. In the Web Service version, the DLL software is hosted in the Quik! Environment instead of on a customer's environment. The inputs and outputs are identical in value, though slightly different in manner in which they're called by the customer's software code.

Customer loads data and requests forms in QFE
QFE calls Quik! server via secure web services to validate and log form view requests
Quik! server responds to QFE to generate the form
QFE outputs the form as HTML and customer's web server serves the page to the end-user
The HTML file loads in a compliant browser to display the form
The client data is loaded into the form and any java scripts are run
Forms can be submitted back to the customer's server for processing and communication
