We don't all work in the corporate office building
Traveling account people, business development presentations, new parents home with
sick kids...
Your people are your greatest asset. True. That's an obvious statement.
What's not so obvious is finding ways to keep your workforce productive in the airport,
coffee shop, or their own living room.
Smart Clients can help you do just that. They are desktop applications, connected
to Internet resources and data, that gracefully
convert from online to offline mode without losing the ability to get things done.
The Microsoft .NET platform allows us to securely integrate corporate data systems
into applications that don't run on the corporate network. Through remoting,
web services, or a combination of both, we build desktop applications that let your
people work where they are.

We were recently approached by a firm that needed a way for field personnel to track
quality control issues, and provide that data back to the home office in near-real-time.
Staff would be 'in-the-field' when they identified the problems, and letting them
record the issues on the fly with a Tablet PC would be ideal.
Through a multi-phase project, we were able to develop a solution based on SQL Server
2005 Replication. Field staff uses the application on a Tablet PC just like
they were sitting in the home office, and the application intelligently sends data
back home when they have a connection. Management has near 'real-time' data in the
home office that they can use for reporting. And, the owners of the company can
sell more services.
