Microsoft .NET Application Design and Development Services
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.
.NET Applications: the Internet and Desktop Models Converge
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.
Rapid Application Development in Visual Studio .NET
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.
Convert MS Access and Visual Basic Applications to .NET
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.
