| "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." |

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. View
