Application Development

South Anna offers Application Development services to help you build and deploy a flexible, scaleable, high-performance custom solution to meet even the most demanding needs.

With rapid advancements in technology, it is easy to allow your current system and software to fall behind, robbing you of more efficient and effective ways of doing business. Today’s focus on “downsizing” and “rightsizing” demands that businesses take advantage of automated ways of doing business, minimizing costly staffing, in order to remain competitive. This is where we can help you.

Understanding Your Business

Our technical consultants will evaluate your current system in a number of ways including performance, practicality, ease-of-use and on-going maintenance requirements. Next, we will work with you to assess your future needs and provide solutions that apply available technology to improve your productivity. If a commercial solution already exists, we will assist you in purchasing and installation as well as ongoing maintenance and support. If a more tailored approach will best meet your needs, we will design a customized solution utilizing the latest software development tools.

Microsoft SQL Server®

Microsoft SQL Server combines the best of traditional mainframe computing–centralized security, data integrity, and control–with the best of today’s PCs–ease of use, rich user interfaces, and a variety of off-the-shelf productivity tools. It makes it possible for multiple front ends to share information, enabling the developer to choose the most appropriate tool for the job. SQL Server makes efficient use of networks; because database queries are processed at a centralized server, network traffic is reduced.

Microsoft SQL Server incorporates a world-class feature set for distributed client/server computing. Customers using SQL Server will see benefits in the following key areas:

• Reliable distributed data and transactions
• Centralized control of distributed servers
• Very high performance and scalability
• Support for very large databases
• Full programmability and standards support
• Rich desktop integration
• Open interoperability

Unlike database servers, which run only on proprietary operating systems or support only proprietary network protocols, SQL Server is network independent. Because SQL Server relies on open industry standards, it can run on most popular networks, including IBM LAN Server©, Microsoft LAN Manager©, Novell NetWare, Banyan® VINES®, DEC PATHWORKS©, Apple® AppleTalk©, and Windows NT® Server-based networks.
