GovConnect Implements Microsoft. NET Strategy in its Solutions for Government Agencies
CINCINNATI, OH (PRWEB) August 26, 2003 -- GovConnect, a leader in service modernization solutions, consulting services, and payment processing for governments, today announced it has adopted MicrosoftÂ’s. NET technologies. By converting its AccessNet Web and desktop frameworks to operate using the. NET platform, GovConnect will streamline its development and provide more robust applications to government customers.
One of the first applications to apply AccessNetÂ’s. NET capabilities is GovConnectÂ’s enterprise payment engine. In addition, future Web and desktop applications built on the AccessNet platform will use MicrosoftÂ’s. NET framework.
The increased productivity allowed by the. NET framework is critical to governments that need to provide access to services for citizens and anticipate a high level of transactions. .NET is Microsoft's XML Web services platform. It enables applications, services and devices to work together as connected solutions, allowing users to act on information from a variety of smart devices. These connected solutions move the Web beyond the browser to simplify usersÂ’ lives and help organizations run more efficiently. With the. NET platform, GovConnect expects significant increases in efficiency and developer productivity, including a savings in the time required for each product release.
“GovConnect is committed to providing government agencies with emerging innovations from our research and development efforts," said Tom Siekman, executive vice president of GovConnect. "Our migration to the. NET platform enhances our existing applications and offers governments faster development time and more robust services.”
The companyÂ’s new solution continues to enable GovConnect to better support either a hosted-services model or installation at a client site with the same product, as dictated by the business preferences of each client. The. NET platformÂ’s support for XML and other accepted industry standards has made it much easier to integrate with existing client systems. GovConnect will soon release a. NET version of its enterprise payment engine that provides all the agencies within a state with a unified payments processing platform.
For more than two decades, GovConnect has implemented technology solutions for federal, state and local government agencies to modernize their processes, address inefficiencies and reduce costs, as well as improve service for citizens. With successful solutions at work in more than 45 states and several major municipalities across the U. S., GovConnect provides professional services, technology system solutions and transaction processing, specifically in the areas of health and human services, labor and taxation.
