Dorner Electronics

"DevForce enables us to develop cost-effective enterprise level .NET - database applications and accelerate our time-to-market without restricting us to specialized development and runtime platforms." 
Sigi Bereuter, Senior Software Architect, Dorner-ASP

 



 


The new application will employ an n-tier architecture based on a smart client and a server backend. This solution will allow Dorner to swap out execution of code to utilize the cpu of the client workstation, while a stateless DAL at the backend will provide a maximum of scalability on the server-side.

Dorner selected DevForce because it provides a complete framework for n-tier, smart client development, and it enables Dorner to switch from a compact 2-tier application to a fullscale n-tier application just by a configuration-setting, which gives the company much more flexibility in deployment than any other option.

Although the application is still under development, Dorner managers say they can already see the tremendous benefits of using DevForce. Development of complex forms and the related business logic is now a matter of hours or even minutes, compared to several days in the old application. The team-members appreciate the ease of developing with DevForce, without leaving Visual Studio but while still having access to the power of the .NET Framework. DevForce gives the company the ability to respond to customer needs quickly. Dorner's first performance tests demonstrated that the new application will meet the company's performance and scalability requirements completely.
