Core Technology
.NET Framework
C#, MVC, Entity Framework and the .NET Framework were used to implement all business logic, data marshaling and UI rendering for the Connection application. Supporting use of modern CSS and JavaScript provided interaction and responsive display.
SQL Server
Provides a robust data storehouse and query platform to store course content, student data, resource library content and other business data. In-cloud SQL Server was used to provide instant scalability and rapid querying.
MailChimp
Is integrated directly with the member and supplier contact features. As contacts are updated in the extranet, updates and attributes flow through to the MailChimp mailing list and allows ALLPRO Marketing to slice and dice communications for target audiences.
Microsoft Azure
Provides database storage, web app, authentication and web services. Azure provides an ideal solution for back end mobile applications with a multi-data center Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud solution that requires extremely little oversight.
