Technology
Focus - Open Source, .Net, Java
OPEN SOURCE
In many cases, the costs of development using open source technologies
are lesser as compared to proprietary software. Therefore, for the
client, the overall development costs may also be lesser as compared
to parallel technologies. The scope for platform migration (migrating
from one OS/Hardware Setup to another), is much more in the case of
Open Source software. For the client, this effectively means that
porting an application from one platform to another is relatively
less expensive. Another great thing about Open Source is that many
independent third-party software and utilities that have been developed
on Open Source technologies, which cost very little or are absolutely
free, can be integrated to existing applications, if such utilities
are appropriate to the organization’s functioning and business
logic.

.NET FRAMEWORK
Applications developed on the .NET framework are highly scalable.
Existing applications or software modules developed on the Microsoft
DNA & COM architecture can be migrated to .NET. That is, existing
solutions can be extended to the .NET framework. .NET also facilitates
a much more functional integration with XML or the Web Services layer.
Interoperability and transfer of data between the RDBMS, Middleware
and Front-End can be best implemented on the .NET framework. .NET
also enables a common presentation layer – that is, a single
application developed and running on the .NET framework can be presented
across different platforms such as PC, Mobile, PDA etc.

JAVA BASED TECHNOLOGIES
Java technologies encompass JSP, Servlets, J2ME, J2EE etc. Java powers
some of the most high-traffic and high-security websites of today.
This is because Java offers high levels of user accessibility and
security. Java technologies such as J2ME and J2EE power some of the
widely used mobile/wireless applications of today. Java allows lucid
integration between WAP and 3G technologies. Also, Java classes and
APIs can formulate the business logic of any application that can
be interfaced with front-ends either developed on Java based technologies
such as JSP or Microsoft based technologies such as ASP.NET etc.
