Introduction to .NET
Billions of Microsoft’s research and development dollars have been invested
in the .NET technology concepts. The availability of this latest generation
of powerful software tools from the world’s largest software company will
bring about radical changes in computing. Applications that were once
complex, time consuming and expensive can now be rapidly developed tested
and deployed quickly and cost effectively.
.NET is the Microsoft solution for Web services, the next generation of
software that connects the world of information, devices and people in a
unified personalised way. .NET is built on open standards and embraces all
programming languages. It makes use of XML, an open standard managed by the
World Wide Web Consortium. The aim is to bring the benefits of collaboration
and interoperability to the isolated islands of data within many
organisations.
Microsoft has many tools and technologies designed to make .NET technology
manageable as applications evolve. However, exploring how these powerful
components can be leveraged within a business context can be complex and
time consuming. It requires an in-depth knowledge of .NET Web services
technologies, the integration platform implications and an understanding of
business process oriented solutions. Few organisations have the necessary
in-house skills.
Anglia Business Solutions is uniquely positioned to enable organisations to
benefit from these advanced developments. As a Microsoft Gold Certified
Partner and Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS) Certified Partner, the
company has the correct skill profile to offer clients a single source of
expertise that meets their needs. The company has already won a national
award based on a solution that had .NET technology at the heart of an
integrated business management system. Many more organisations are currently
deploying similar solutions to tackle a diverse range of applications.
Since 2003, Anglia has made a significant investment in the creation of a
range of powerful .NET based applications. These are designed to short
circuit the development and deployment effort involved in the implementation
of such solutions. They are also available at a fraction of the price that
it would take to recreate solutions with a similar breadth of functionality.
However, they should not be viewed as readily available products that would
be purchased as a packaged ready made system. Solutions should always be
specific to meet a client’s individual requirement. The applications should
therefore be regarded as a solid basis from which the specific application
can be configured to meet a defined business need. They include a range of
Ready Made, Mobility, e-Commerce, Integration & Business Graphics solutions,
the details of which can be found in our
.NET Application
List.
