Microsoft .Net Technology
|
All
BGI applications are based on stable, state-of-the-art technology.
SQL
Server®
Database
SQL
Server is Microsoft’s relational database software. It is an industry
standard, the use of which allows you to more easily integrate
third-party tools, such as report writers and Microsoft’s Office suite,
to your data.
Benedict Group currently requires that your company use SQL Server 2005
to support our .Net applications.
VB.Net®
VB.Net is one of several programming languages supported in Microsoft’s
Visual Studio.Net environment.
This
latest release of VB.Net is an object-oriented language, which allows us
to more easily isolate application functionality in individual logic
entities and helps ensure the integrity of our applications.
Microsoft Office®
Microsoft’s well-know Office suite of productivity tools includes Word
and Excel. BGI’s .Net applications allow you to easily integrate their
data with these programs. For example, you can export report and screen
information to Excel and then use the power of that tool to analyze it
further.
.Net Source Code
BGI
offers the .Net source code to our applications under our
Build, Buy, or BGI'™
program, which allows you to license both our application and its source
code.
As none
or our key competitors include source code, we feel that our approach
offers you a new alternative. Previously you could either build your
application in-house or depend on one of BGI's competitors for all of
your software and enhancement needs. With BGI's products, however, you
now have a third choice: you can license BGI's feature-rich software,
receive support and upgrades from BGI, and yet still have the ability to
make enhancements in-house as needed.
PriMetaFores™
BGI’s new products are based on our PriMetaFores™ technology, an
extensive set of development tools that represents our application logic
(5 million+ lines of source code) as rules in a language-independent
database, and from there renders them for a target environment such as
Microsoft’s .Net and SQL Server technologies. This technology makes
change easier and safer, and helps ‘future-proof’ our applications for
new, not-yet-defined platforms.
