What is .NET Technology?

The .NET Framework is a programming model that supports building and running of software applications for Windows, Windows Server, Windows Phone, Microsoft Azure, and XML Web services. This framework was written to overcome many of the problems of application development including long development times, inability to change applications quickly, high total cost of ownership of software and ease of deployment.

Why using .NET framework is useful in your business? The success or failure of any project or product in the market is decided by its return on investment. Both the quantum of profits and time taken are important aspects of calculating ROI. .Net provides developers with the opportunity to design applications for specific business functions, effectively and efficiently. For this reason SoftElegance uses this platform extensively when designing our multi model reports, which include applications for budgeting, forecasting, consolidation and other functions.

Benefits of applying .NET framework in your Business

Security

The .NET framework provides a highly secure environment. It employs various security mechanisms for keeping the application protected. It has built-in Windows authentication, which can be used to make secure and safe applications. It also has cryptography classes to secure data with encryption/decryption.

Integration with other Microsoft Applications

.NET integrates easily with other Microsoft products, making it easy to connect with exchange servers, emails, Lync messenger, and Microsoft Office applications, and retrieve data with a single login. Whether it’s email exchange, communicating within the organization, managing documents, or collaboration, one can automate the entire office with Microsoft.

Stability & Scalability

The .NET framework provides more stability and scalability than its programming counterparts. For example, an object interface offers a roadmap to reuse the objects in newer software; this also offers you all the details you want to change the objects without affecting the other codes. It makes it easy to change the code with newer technology and faster algorithms.

Quick Deployment

The .NET framework allows quick and easy deployment of applications. Microsoft .NET applications can be easily deployed on any Microsoft server. The framework facilitates one-time setup creation to deploy applications faster.

How does SoftElegance work?

1. Evaluation

Without the perfect plan, calculating the strengths and weaknesses of the project, preparing the feasibility study, development of software is pointless. Software Development Life Cycle begins with Requirement Analysis phase, where you and the team of SoftElegance will discuss the requirements of the software that you need to develop to achieve your business’ goal. The aim of the requirement analysis phase is to capture the detail of each requirement and to make sure everyone understands the scope of the work and how each requirement is going to be fulfilled.

2. Analysis

Analysis is very important to proceed further to the next step. Technical consultant teams of SoftElegance put emphasis on understanding the business requirements. Based on this knowledge SoftElegance team suggests you about the best technology stack suited for your business model that best add value to your business, defines a solution to solve business challenges and offers an optimal development methodology, creates a development plan focusing on your business priorities. This stage is about analyzing the performance of the software at various stages and making notes on additional requirements.

3. Custom Software Design

The next stage of Software Development Life Cycle is the Design phase. During the design phase, developers and technical architects of SoftElegance start the high-level design of the software and system to be able to deliver each requirement of your business. The selected architectural design, defines all the components that needs to be developed, communications with third party services, user flows and database communications as well as front-end representations and behaviour of each components.

4. Development & Implementation

After the requirements and design activity is completed, the next stage is the implementation or development of the software. In this stage, developers of SoftElegance start coding according to the requirements and the design discussed with you in previous stages. Database admins create the necessary data in the database, front-end developers create the necessary interfaces and GUI to interact with the back-end all based on guidelines and procedures defined by you. Developers also write unit tests for each component to test the new code that they have written, review each other’s code, create builds and deploy software to an environment. This cycle of development is repeated until all requirements are met.

5. Software QA and Testing

The testing stage assesses the software for errors and documents bugs if there are any. From starting stage of the project, SoftElegance development team focuses on implementing the right procedure and standards developed for the software are intended to meet your requirements and testing is carried out on each stage to make error-free software.

6. Maintenance

Once the software passes through all the stages without any issues, it is to undergo a maintenance process wherein it will be maintained and upgraded from time to time to adapt to changes.
