We have long experience in this field; we know how to apply this knowledge to business systems design, ultimately delivering the most practical solution. Off-the-shelf software packages address one or more business function in a generic manner, for example contact management. These packages naturally have their place within the average organisation.

With the profusion of the web as a means by which information can be stored and shared, Microsoft adapted its strategy to provide software application developers with a unified set of software tools and technologies that would facilitate commonality in approaches to the hitherto rather disparate worlds of the traditional desktop application and those that can run on the Word Wide Web.
