With technologies evolving everyday, its getting rather difficult to
choose the right technology for your growing business needs. Our experienced
consultants can help you navigate your way through the latest information
technologies and put you on the fast track to success. Strata
has chosen to focus on two sets of key technologies in order to better serve
clients. These technologies are all based on open standards and best of breed
products:
Microsoft
.NET Framework
The .NET Framework is Microsoft's new programming model for developing, deploying, and running XML Web services and all types of applications—desktop, mobile, or Web-based. Microsoft pursued two major goals in the creation of the .NET platform. The first goal was to improve development on Microsoft Windows® by making it more component-oriented and simplifying the underlying object model. The second was to deliver a modern, third-generation framework for creating and deploying XML Web services. With the .NET Framework, Microsoft dramatically improves programmer productivity, ease of deployment, and reliable application execution. The .NET Framework introduces XML Web services—an entirely
new concept to computing. XML Web services integrates loosely coupled applications and components designed for today’s heterogeneous computing landscape by communicating using standard Internet protocols such as SOAP, Web Services Description Language
(WSDL), and Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI).
The .NET Framework consists of three major areas. The first is the common language runtime, which assumes responsibility for executing the application. The common language runtime ensures that all application dependencies are met, manages memory, and handles such issues as security and language integration. The common language runtime supplies
many services that help simplify code development and application deployment while improving application reliability. The bulk of this work is handled transparently, simplifying the tasks of developers and administrators.
The second area is the unified core classes. These classes provide all the facilities that a developer requires to build a modern application, including XML support, networking, and data access. Having these unified classes means that a developer building any type of application, whether Windows-based or Web-based, uses the same classes. This consistency results in improved developer productivity and code reuse.
The third and final area involves the presentation classes, which include ASP.NET for the development of Web applications, as well as XML Web services and Windows Forms for the development of Windows-based, or "smart client," applications.
By using the Internet to enable software applications to more easily work together, Microsoft® .NET promises easier
integration within and between businesses, while creating opportunities to more meaningfully connect with consumers. With the tools of the .NET platform, businesses can realize improvements in the time and cost associated with developing and maintaining their business applications, as well as benefitting from empowering employees with the ability to act on vital information anywhere, from any smart device.
.NET delivers best of breed integration for businesses.
Exposing XML Web services increases potential reach and exposure, creating new business opportunities.
.NET promises substantial savings in development costs, as well as creating new revenue streams, through the use of XML Web services.
