Business Application Development
Secure, Stable and Scalable
Most business applications use databases to provide their
foundation functionality. These may be custom databases designed to
drive the specific application or databases in other, perhaps
legacy systems.
Fusion Workshop is an experienced database developer,
specifically Microsoft SQL Server.
Middleware platforms such as ASP.Net are used to deliver
business logic and the presentation of end-user and administration
functionality, usually via browser based Web GUI. Content can be
rendered for mobile browsers and PDAs.
Where required, functionality and content can be exposed via Web
Service/XML gateways.
Fusion Workshop has carried out a number of web application
re-engineering projects to extend the life or facilitate migration
to another platform.
The migration of applications to SQL Server or from traditional
ASP or ColdFusion to ASP.Net is a
specialism and Fusion has developed a migration strategy that:
- Eases the process and reduces risks
- Identifies and reuses portable elements of the original
application
- Stages the process and costs over a number of phases
- Retains the existing investment in SEO
- Aligns the application with Fusion Workshop's Performance
Roadmap with respect to: Performance Factors, Content Delivery,
Architecture and platform.
