.NET-BASED APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Outsource Your Software Development with Microsoft .NET

In the past, IT developers had a lot of independence in designing and coding software. Without clear industry standards, over time this has resulted in incompatible coding so that software programs could not easily communicate with one another. Many people and organizations tried to identify common standards that could be applied worldwide, but none of these efforts were successful. Some years ago, however, W3C began leading the standardization of software coding. The W3C committee proposed new technology for Web Services and all of the most prominent software development companies agreed.

One of the leaders in using the new Web Services technology was Microsoft. It released Microsoft .NET, which created new synergies between the Web Services standards and the existing Microsoft technologies. This has resulted in a reliable and scalable solution that facilitates interoperability among software programs. With Microsoft. Net, developers have the tools they need to smoothly integrate software programs with one another. Microsoft .NET focuses on keeping software development as simple as possible, so that it functions as it should and can be integrated easily with other software programs. This is a new and exciting philosophy in the world of software development. Several new languages, including Java Sharp (J#), C Sharp (C#), VBDot Net (ASPDot Net) are already using Microsoft .NET as their base.

Microsoft .NET is best suited for the Internet, but it works with a wide variety of operating environments. Its architecture includes everything from mobile devices to Microsoft Enterprise Servers, always using Web Services W3C standards like UDDI, WSDL, and SOAP. OSD uses Microsoft .NET for many of its services, including customized software solutions for e-commerce and e-business, support systems for content management and decision/making, portals for information and B2B relationships, and online social networking. We offer services for integration that are customized for your organization's specific needs. In this way, we're able to help our clients improve internal communication flows, get the most value out of their IT expenses, and be able to integrate with software used by their customers and partners. Don't be misled into thinking that our use of Microsoft .NET means that we're exclusively focused on the web, because at the same time our more traditional development services for client servers and desktop applications are becoming better than ever, built on strong business logic and rich user interfaces.

What Microsoft .NET Can Do for Your Company

When your business outsources its software development to companies that are using the power of Microsoft .NET, you'll find that the applications and software you need can be created more quickly and less expensively than ever before. Plus, through the use of easily integrated mobile wireless devices, your employees will be able to access this information from anywhere at any time, greatly improving their productivity. Because much contemporary software is modular, and because programs can now communicate through standardized protocols for the Web like SoAP and XML, using XML Web services can let businesses interact directly with one another. Whether your programs are hosted on-site or off-site, they can be integrated so that your company can create the specific software solutions it's looking for rapidly and inexpensively, thanks to the power of the Internet. Plus, when you put XML Web services online, they're shared with a vast number of people.

This means that more potential corporate partners and more potential clients will be exposed to your company and what it does. For example, a car company might use XML Web services to announce the scheduled deliveries of new cars, thereby informing its supply chain and customers, so that they, in turn, can build new systems of their own around that information.

The Advantages of Microsoft .NET

There are many advantages of using Microsoft .NET technology, but the main one is simplification. Microsoft .NET simplifies programming, so that your development projects can be completed much more quickly and at a lower cost. The object orientation of Microsoft .NET maximizes the advantages and minimizes the disadvantages of both Visual C , which is powerful, flexible, and fast-functioning, but slow to program, and Visual Basic, which is simple and quick to develop, but sometimes doesn't function at an adequate speed. Microsoft .NET also has many implications for the type of connections that are in place. Using XLM as a superstructure to traffic-level HTTP, the resulting solution is more appropriate for connections between different program types, such as those between servers, between clients, or between servers and clients. It becomes less appropriate for connections between servers and users. Some of the Microsoft .NET components include developer tools, XML Web services, smart clients, and servers. Together, these connected software elements provide some of the best online opportunities for your business. Let Oceannet Software show you how it's done!
