Hans de Graaf Management. Nearshore .NET development center

Business need

Hans de Graaf Management B.V. is a consultancy company specializing in business management, process management and development. Hans de Graaf Management B.V. is also a shareholder in a company which develops and sells business management products globally.

Challenge

Due to business growth and desire of the company to launch new projects, the company needed a highly proficient, qualified, knowledgable and reasonably priced software development team. We built a team for them which satisfied all their requirements.

One more important factor was freedom and flexibility. Our client wanted to manage his team himself, as part of his own company. We gave him direct access to his team, as we do with all of our clients. We believe that the success of the cooperation is the main priority. They divided roles, introduced SCRUM in the project, with daily SCRUM Skype stand-up meetings, and even a plan to go to a local resort Crimea all together when the project was completed.

Another factor was the high motivation, creativeness and independence of the team. Since the project we're developing together is an innovative one, we wanted to be quick to the market with it. So our client required high levels of team motivation and an active involvement by our company management to maintain high motivation, quality and deadlines. And we succeeded.

Our client was also particularly concerned about Intellectual property since this is an innovative product. Our position and our reputation on this question satisfied him. And we executed contracts fully protecting their intellectual properties.

Solution

Our client had a very challenging task to build a qualified team, flexible, reasonably priced, able to be managed with no restrictions, with IP rights protection and help from company management at critical points. The success of his enterprise depended on finding the partner who would satisfy all these expectations. We offered solutions to each of the points and we've been successful working together.

Projects we did together

Business Automation Solution

Background

The idea of the project was born from the observation that often the IT infrastructure of an enterprise comprises a lot of different software products with different basic assumptions, data representation and user interfaces. As a result, business spends a lot of money and effort on licensing, integration and user training, and overall productivity is far from desired.

BAS was specifically designed to address these issues, providing a single integrated software solution covering almost any business activity including CRM, DMS and ERP. A Software as Service model provided transparent and affordable licensing especially favored by small businesses. The web-based platform lowered deployment costs and made the software available anytime, anywhere.

Objectives

One of the key objectives was to provide flexible and customizable software capable of satisfying needs of every business. To accomplish this goal, the system provided entity and workflow designers, allowing enterprise administrator to:

Create custom entities specific to the business domain;
Add custom fields to standard entities to tailor them to the needs of enterprise;
Create sophisticated workflows;
Use predefined configurations for solving common business tasks.

Based on entity and workflow framework, the following modules were implemented:

Customer relationship management (CRM);
Finance management;
Enterprise resource planning (ERP).

Also, business automation relied on the following essential subsystems

Document management system;
Internal communication protocol;
Security subsystem.

And last, but not the least, a lot of attention was paid to smooth user experience, and a clean and clear design allowing users to work in the system efficiently.

Platforms, Languages & Technologies

The following platforms, languages and technologies were used in the development of the BSA project:

.NET 4.0 (C#)
Windows Azure
SQL Azure
Silverlight 4
ASP.NET MVC 2
NHibernate
Infragistics Controls for Silverlight
