PCA has extensive expertise with the different variants of the .NET internet application programming language (C#, ASP.NET, and VB.NET).  Our .NET engineering team has designed and developed many business webs using ASP.NET with Microsoft Visual Studio.   We frequently build VB.NET and C#.NET business applications, as components of an existing website, with design-compatible front-end Graphical Interfaces that are connected to SQL Server back-end databases — forming a true "Internet Database" application.   We typically develop browser interfaces to ASP.NET applications that are used for customer-facing or partner-facing applications, where requirements for read-only access to business data and reports is often the most cost-effective approach.

At PCA, we view .NET as a LONG TERM PLATFORM that unifies the various Rapid Application Development environments we have been working with for many years.  .NET converges a variety of languages (Visual Basic, C, C++, Java, and C#), and in doing so, enables a fairly seamless convergence of the Internet Model (as a Business Communication and Transaction platform) with the Desktop Model (as an Application Integration and Presentation platform). .NET further helps by overcoming many traditional hardware- and Web Service-related proprietary barriers.

Time is money.   Visual Studio .NET substantially simplifies the effort and time required to develop powerful and reliable Internet solutions.   By offering end-to-end Web development capabilities and scalable, reusable server-side components, Visual Studio .NET increases productivity and helps businesses address the demands of a rapid, cost-effective changes to application capabilities.

PCA .NET developers can make your business information available over the Internet, using a .NET application interface connected to a SQL Server database.  We can spec, design and develop a new .NET Internet database application from scratch, or takeover existing .NET development projects that over budget and under powered.  PCA employs a standard design-build methodology to insure the solution is confirmed to meet your critical business needs, and can be extended over time to meet changing business needs in a cost-effective manner.

PCA is frequently engaged to convert older business application to the .NET platform, to take advantage of new capabilities, integrate with 3rd-party web services, and to realize lower maintenance and support costs.   By prototyping your new application in .NET, we can enable quick and cost-effective turn-around of change requests, and pre-confirm application capabilities, schedule and budget — all before development begins!   PCA provides proven dot net programming expertise for your most challenging business applications.   We specialize in custom .NET software application design and development, and provide ongoing application maintenance and support services as well to insure the business continuity and level of service that you demand.
