Over the last decade, application development platforms have rapidly evolved. Key milestones have been I-Case (e.g. IEF, Knowledgeware), Client/Server (Powerbuilder, Visual Basic), Web Development tools (e.g. Silverstream, ColdFusion etc.). Each evolution offered distinct advantages over the previous generation.
We view Microsoft’s .NET platform as the next major milestone in application development and deployment of technologies. Unlike earlier development technologies, we believe .NET development platform will be long-term solution for building corporate applications. .NET offers integration with existing applications which has been a big hurdle in keeping up with changing development tools.

To build custom and integration solutions, there are two key development platforms that offer the productivity, versatility and performance to meet enterprise business needs: Java/J2EE and Microsoft.NET. While Java/J2EE platform is more mature, Microsoft.NET platform has generated a lot of interest because of lower TCO and shorter learning curve to adapt to Microsoft.NET.

For the last year, we have focused on .NET because we believe .NET will play a major role in how business applications will be developed in the future. We have been developing both content and transaction application using .NET.
We found .NET platform highly productive, versatile, reliable and fast. We found the libraries to be comprehensive and our coding and testing effort was considerably less than the traditional environments.
We would recommend our clients to be early adopters of .NET platform. Not only because it has a high ROI, but also because it will enable them to resolve a number of problems that have existed on the traditional platforms. Unlike other early releases of the software technologies and tools, .NET is a stable environment and fun to work with.
- Web based Transaction Application Development
- Web based Content Application Development
- Windows Forms Applications
- Back-end Integration Applications using .NET servers
- Application Migration to .NET

Our .NET applications development methodology places great emphasis on underlying applications architecture that relies on reusable business and shared components.
We combine the use of common librarires to deliver productivity and performance and utilize best practices recommended by Microsoft. |
