While the number of software applications produced in a web-based model
continues to increase, there are still many situations in which the business
requirements call for a traditional Windows application. A Windows software
application executes on the user's PC and typically involves a rich user
experience that includes robust mouse and keyboard interaction, very quick
response times to user actions, detailed control over printing, and a common
Windows user interface. Web-based applications have certain key advantages but
generally aren't as proficient in the afore-mentioned areas.
With the release of the Microsoft Vista desktop
operating system and the .NET Framework 3.0, Northridge Systems is creating
more powerful and secure custom Windows applications than ever before. Windows
Vista ships with the .NET Framework 3.0 and is the first operating system from
Microsoft designed to seamlessly host both managed (.NET) and native
applications.
In addition to the new Aero user experience and Windows Presentation Foundation,
Microsoft Vista includes critical improvements to the building blocks of
Windows development including better security, manageability, deployment, and
servicing. For Northridge Systems customers this means that we can build more
secure, easily maintained and managed applications with less budget than would
have been required just a couple of years ago.
The Windows Communication Foundation provides industry-leading Web services
support, new peer-to-peer features, RSS capabilities, and core networking
enhancements. Windows Vista offers a host of communication features that allow
Northridge Systems to build robust distributed software systems more quickly
and efficiently than ever before.
Northridge Systems provides end-to-end services for custom Windows application
initiatives including strategy, architecture, design, development, integration,
and testing. If your organization is planning to develop a mission-critical
Windows application, Northridge Systems can help you deliver an effective
solution that meets or exceeds each business requirement while keeping the
project within its budgetary constraints.
