SSW cranks up investment in Microsoft .NET

SSW commits to the development of Microsoft .NET
products and services for developers and managers.
Sydney - SSW, a Microsoft Partner, has announced a
major commitment to the Microsoft .NET Platform, with
new products and services released and client deals
announced.
Microsoft .NET is the platform for XML Web Services,
the next generation of software that connects
information, devices and people in a personalised way.
SSW has released two new products built with the .NET
Platform - 'SSW Access Reporter .NET for IIS' and 'SSW
SQL Auditor', and have implemented the former product
in Toyota Australia with great results.
SSW Adam Cogan, Regional Director of the Microsoft
Developer Network and Managing Director of SSW said,
"Microsoft .NET has completely changed the landscape
as far as the developer is concerned. It is a unique
set of tools, giving us the ability to deploy systems
to improve performance for our clients".
Cogan said, "Microsoft .NET gives life to rich clients
(using Windows Forms). One of the key unique benefits
of Microsoft .NET is that rich clients can connect to
the same data source via XML Web Services - giving the
best user experience. Applications will work on other
forms such as PCs, mobile phones, hand held devices.."
"In the past clients needed browser based applications
for connectivity at the office and home. This didn't
allow a rich user experience and users were limited to
two functionalities."
Cogan asserts that the benefit has come in the way of
cheaper and quicker development: "With the .NET
platform we can deliver rich clients and XML Web
Services much quicker than browser based solutions.
Our clients are more satisfied as their solution is
developed and implemented in a fraction of the time
and cost as traditional projects.
SSW have invested in considerable training and
skilling of all their employees on Microsoft .NET and
are currently in the process of developing more
products on the platform. Cogan is also training
developers by hosting the monthly '.NET Users Group'
at Microsoft headquarters in Ryde, and speaking at a
series of '.NET Tech Breakfasts' - once a month
morning seminars focusing around a component of .NET.
