read moreObviously, it's most important for you to entrust your investment in custom software solutions development to a business that not only demonstrates deep technical knowledge of software tools, methodology and their application, but also one that can gain a full understanding of your business processes as they apply to the application domain.

read moreIn general, the same principles apply with website/web application development, except that, of course, your site/application is usually viewed and used by a much wider audience!It may be that you require a simple on-line presence; perhaps a web-based sales outlet, or a full-blown, data-intensive enterprise-class web solution that must be accessible from anywhere, whether purely by the general public and/or by a selection of your external partners and customers as part of a loosely-coupled, B2B solution.

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.

read moreNETXtensive LTD is an independent business software solutions consulting, design & development company operating from Redditch near Birmingham in the Midlands area of the United Kingdom, a region close to all major connecting transport hubs at the centre of the country. Certainly a good enough location, but not a particularly major issue in today's inter-connected World! Originally formed as a sole-tradership in 1992, in line with the first release of the Microsoft Access database development system and the attendant soar in demand for applications developed with that program, the business evolved into a Limited company at the end of 2006 and has over that time developed many bespoke software solutions for clients ranging in size from under 10 employees to one of the major UK banks.

This of course does not just apply to software development! However it is true that the nature of the development process requires that as much detailed information as possible is discovered before serious software design work can even begin. You may well be aware of that old software adage and acronym: GIGO; meaning Garbage In; Garbage Out! There is a good reason for this.

An end-to-end solution is usually built in 'layers' describing distinct sections and functions of the solution and is usually known as a multi-tier or, more usually, an n-tier design. The n-tier design method allows us to completely separate, but loosely couple, the components of the application. This enables maintainability, the re-use of code and much easier updating/upgrading.

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. This was no trivial task, but ultimately imperative.
