TIME TO LEAD:
why implementing a Microsoft SQL/.NET platform can position your company for success

2. Overhauling your enterprise technology system
involves significant consideration and investment and the company-wide changes
and challenges that follow may feel risky. However, delaying a technological
change brings inherent risk as well. Implementing a modern solution built on the
Microsoft SQL/.NET solution can both mitigate the risk of investment and position
you for success in the long term.

3. Is your company ready for
change?

4. Here are some indicators that it might be time to consider an upgrade:
PAINFUL PROCESS INEFFICIENCIES
Information is often hard to access or share and data may
be handled multiple times by multiple departments


5. UNNECESSARY EXPENSES
Needless time and money is spent on ways
to make new tools and applications work
with legacy systems - sometimes requiring
peripheral software
$

6. LESS CREDIBILITY
Poor collaboration, weak reporting and
outdated systems can make customers wary
and detract tech-savvy talent who want to work
with the latest tools

7. Advantages of switching to Microsoft SQL/.NET
The .NET platform can have a
tremendous impact on a company’s
efficiency, credibility and bottom line.

8. These are just a few of the advantages:
ƒ Enables developers to create applications that
work the way businesses do
ƒ World-class technology leadership and proven
productivity gains
ƒ Simple integration of components to core software
packages that best serve your business needs

9. ƒ Integrate all areas of your business, creating seamless communication
and collaboration between employees and departments
ƒ Provides visually stunning interfaces with robust grids, tables and
roaming profiles that make it simple to find and interpret data and
share results
ƒ Offers easy system access anytime, anywhere with individualized


and reports

10. What to expect from your Microsoft SQL/.NET platform
After implementing the Microsoft
SQL/.NET platform, you’ll find that
making the technological shift
was painless and the immediate
competitive advantages will
become clear.

11. Expect:
EASY IMPLEMENTATION
AND INTEGRATION
There’s no need to introduce new components
for your system to work - the integration to your
existing operating system is easy

12. MODULAR AND CUSTOMIZABLE
TO YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS
In the .NET environment, developers can make user
interfaces and system-wide changes without re-writes
Simple updates and changes – Adding features and
functionality is easy. Developers can pick the best tool
for the job and create applications that integrate with
all components

13. FULLY SCALABLE
The Microsoft SQL/.NET platform grows as you do. Its
flexible architecture makes it easy to accommodate new
employees and business growth
Low maintenance and superb support – Requiring less
hardware and fewer support staff, the system has daily
back-up, restoration and database self-tuning

14. Now’s the right time
There is also a great opportunity to
invest in new technology now while
things are slower to gain better
productivity in busier times. Forward
thinking companies always see the
slower times as an opportunity to
get an edge on the competition and
ultimately more profit on the bottom
line when things pick up.

15. While any change involves challenges, holding
firm to an aging technology platform can put companies at a disadvantage.
Forward-thinking companies see slower times as an ideal period to make
strategic decisions that will set them up for the long term.

16. It’s clear that the benefits and overall savings
of deploying a contemporary integrated software system far outweigh the
costs and time associated with the implementation. Systems that immediately
improve data workflow, processes, and communication have a proven ability
to greatly increase productivity and profitability. Looking for more information
