Globalization and increase of IT
education have transformed every business sector. Businesses are taking the
online route and applications are making the business process faster, smoother
and more adaptable. In order to achieve the goals of your business, you need an
IT platform that will give you the power and technology to simplify business
and increase revenue generation. You need a technology that will reduce website/application
development time and let you create quality, reliable and scalable
applications. Microsoft .Net software
development platform is ideal for that task.
Microsoft has created this
platform to aid web and application developers. .NET was written from the very
core to overcome some of the biggest challenges of application development such
as long development time, helplessness to modify the features of an app,
software development cost and deployment hassles.
Before I discuss the business
benefits of .NET, let’s find out what type of corporate solutions can be custom
developed with the help of this robust framework.
- Customer Relationship Management software
- Accounting apps
- Inventory management apps
- Warehouse apps
- All types of websites – personal, corporate and e-commerce
- Value chain and supply management solutions
- XML web services
- Apps for hand held devices such as PDA
When a company decides to build
custom software for its business, they focus on two factors. How long the
project will take to complete and how long the software will take to get their
investment back? For example, the answer of the first question can be 6 months
and if the total money spent on development is $10000 and the software increases
your revenue by $2000 per month, then it will take 5 months to get the return
on investment (ROI). After 11 months, you can expect to make $2000 profit every
month for a prolonged period.
So, the big question is how .NET
can help with ROI? There are a number of factors that make .NET framework one
of the best return on investment providers.
Reusability of codes- Microsoft has given many re-usable codes and
components in the framework to help developers do their job effortlessly. With
the help of default features, developers can create end-to-end solutions and
make the business operations more efficient. As codes and components are
reusable, .NET reduces development time and if applications take less time to
develop, they cost cheaper and you get faster return on investment.
Worried about scalability? Don’t worry- Many startup companies of the
past are now billion dollar enterprises. Take a look at companies like Apple or
Tata and you will realize that it’s hard to guess what the future holds for
you. When a business grows, it puts pressure on the existing IT infrastructure
and the apps running on it. .NET was created with scalability in mind. As your
company grows, the apps can also scale and take the additional load.
Easy to maintain- Development cost is one time, but maintenance
cost is incurring. .NET apps are easily maintainable, thanks to the
configuration settings that can be modified without any need to rewrite the
code.
Deployment is hassle free- Deploying software is always challenging
and the most common problem developers face in this process is the existence of
multiple DLLs. It’s hard to make sure that all DLLs will co-exist in the same
machine. .NET framework solves this problem by allowing different versions of
the same DLL to exist side-by-side on the same machine.
Security- .NET is one of the most secure web and application
development frameworks available in the market. As it’s made by Microsoft, you
can be absolutely sure about the security measurements. Hackers can never steal
valuable data from your website or apps.
Cross platform friendly- What if you had developed an app for
desktop and laptop computers and now after seeing the growth of mobile apps in
the market, you want it in mobile version as well? You can easily develop an
app that runs on the desktop and PDA without any issue. As you can re-use the
codes and utilize the same development environment, your job becomes a lot
simpler.
What else one wants from a technology
stack? Given all these benefits of .Net technolgy, one can build apps and
softwares that can really contribute in lifting business ROI by enhancing,
automating and regularizing key process areas.
