Nuts & Bolts

We have specifically designed our library so that they are easily extended, so they are not locked into a given flow or business logic. Our applications are built on the .NET platform, and they support SQL Server 2005+, as well as any .NET supported data interface for extended content.

Why proprietary over Open Source?

Too many of our clients had issues regarding IP ownership and privacy considerations that made Open Source too uncomfortable a proposition. While our technologies are proprietary, the open architecture and .Net underpinning ensures all our controls are fully customizable after we hand off the product.

A simple but robust data structure allows for easy customization of unique business rules.

From an IT resource perspective, any entry-to-mid-level .NET programmer would be able to accomplish most minor changes required.

Bottom line – the genius who made that cool open source app may not be around when a new browser version swings around. We're betting Microsoft will be.
