Web Services
 

A Web service is a standard platform for building interoperable distributed applications. Web services are pieces of program logic, that are programmatically available via the Internet. These pieces of program logic which are in the form of objects, can be invoked from any client over HTTP. A Web service can be written with its properties and methods available to other developers across the Web. In a typical Web services scenario, a business application sends a request to a service at a given URL, using the SOAP protocol over HTTP. The service receives the request, processes it, and returns a response.

A Web service written in ASP.NET could be used by any other platform.

 
 
Passport
 
Microsoft .NET Passport provides an authentication and not an authorization service. This means that the service will check the credibility of the users and not check whether the users are allowed to access resources. Participating sites can implement their own access control functionality to manage authorization after users have been authenticated.

Microsoft .NET Passport allows the users to maintain a single set of credentials and use them at any participating site. Users may obtain a .NET Passport account by providing two pieces of information: a unique e-mail address and a password. This allows the user to take advantage of the .NET Passport service, while maintaining a degree of anonymity. The .NET Passport service will verify a user's identity to ensure that he or she is the owner of the .NET Passport.
 
 
Application Interoperability
 

Many organizations already operate large enterprise environments based on either Java or Microsoft .NET. Hence if the company perceives a need for a new application or addition to their current architecture, the natural tendency is to start thinking in terms of the currently implemented environment. This is sometimes referred to as Technology Aligned Environment. Decisions about enhancing the current environment involved are more closely attuned to the existing system rather than the technology that provides the best platform.

Designing enterprise systems using either J2EE or Microsoft .NET is an expensive business, but there are often sound business reasons for organizations to implement a mixed environment that has elements of each platform. Interoperability is a key requirement for many enterprises, allowing internal systems to work together and enable businesses to connect to customers, external partners, and suppliers. With ever increasing requirements for efficiency, responsiveness, and cost cutting, interoperability is a key demand for the modern IT environment.

Effective interoperability projects take the approach that an organization should use the best technology for the job at hand. If a company creates the majority of its applications in-house, there may be more factors pushing in the direction of staying with the current environment. However, if you need to implement a third-party solution or want to make use of features that only .NET offers, interoperability offers an effective mechanism for ensuring that the two environments work together.

Interoperability is a major factor in the following areas of business needs:

  • Achieving reuse of existing systems
  • Implementing proof of concept studies
  • Migration to Microsoft .NET
  • Achieving lower project costs
 
Desktop Applications
 

Desktop applications, when compared to their web counter parts, have greater interface flexibility. Rich media support for desktop applications make them more user friendly and informative. They do not have the common security problems which are encountered on the web. Desktop applications require less development time. For example, cutting edge tools like Microsoft Visual studio .NET have made the task of developing user interfaces as simple as drag and drop.

Professionals at Maximize have mastered the art of creating desktop applications that range from image capturing to enterprise wide business process automation. Prized examples of desktop applications developed by Maximize are software like Simfast, EduQuote, and Eco-System.

 
 
Office Applications
 

If your company is performing the same tasks on a regular basis using Microsoft Excel, you should consider automating these systems. Automation saves time, reduces human error, and allows more than one person to control the process. Virtually any action that can be performed in Excel can be automated. Excel can also be customized to connect with databases, display automated reports, and even pull data from the web.

Microsoft Word can be programmed to automate any task associated with document creation and publication. The most common application is the generation of letters or reports from data located at a different location. For example, an investment bank may create security prospectuses for clients based on records in its Contact Management System.

MS Outlook can be used for much more than sending e-mails and maintaining contacts. With a little programming, you can create forms for surveys and feedback, develop customized calendars, or share contact and other information between employees.

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System is a new technology that brings the power and productivity of Visual Studio .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework to business solutions built on the next versions of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. With this technology, developers using Visual Studio .NET 2003 can use Microsoft Visual C#.NET to write code behind Microsoft Office based applications.

Maximize Technologies has extensive experience in developing secure, easily deployable MS Office applications using .NET and its inherent support for XML and XML web services.

With the “hold steady” investment approach of the last few years, many organizations had to delay development of new business applications. As investment begins to rise, so does the need for custom application development. Maximize designs and develops enterprise custom applications, which are categorized on the high level as e-business applications, desktop applications, and office applications. While designing and developing these applications, we use appropriate .NET technologies like Web Services, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, XML, WinForms, .NET Enterprise Servers, and Smart Tags.

The Microsoft .NET Technology Practice at Maximize Technologies evaluates, develops, and delivers enterprise and Web applications that will shape the markets of tomorrow. Our .NET driven mission is to "enable enterprises to implement manageable, predictable, and cost-effective IT infrastructure and world-class solutions based on Microsoft Technologies" and to "provide World-class .NET solutions to deliver significant business value to our partners and customers".

The .NET platform and technologies provide organizations with framework services, server products, and developmental tools that enable scalable e-business solutions. These encompass collaboration, integration, e-commerce, and content management. Using .NET, organizations can build B2C, B2B, Desktop and Office applications. Web services technology implemented in .NET enables organizations integrate several other applications running on disparate platforms.
