The various phases of solution development with Microsoft .Net include:
Solution Architecting
We appreciate that the e-shop is the company's interface with their customers and any adverse usage experience could lead to the customer deciding against purchase from the website. We try to understand the target market and use that as an input in the scoping of the Infrastructure requirements. Scalability is also kept in mind while considering the infrastructure requirements.
Development and customization of interfaces
This typically starts with a requirements phase where we try to understand the business model of the customer. This defines the way commerce server needs to be configured. We understand that user experience is one of the most critical components of success of an ecommerce platform and enough emphasis is laid on the screen design. Extensive prototyping is done to ensure that the same is understood by the sales team and the people closest to the customers. Once the requirements are agreed upon, the solution is developed along with the different interfaces. After exhaustive testing and user training, the solution is deployed. CalsoftES also offers support for such solutions.
Training
Exhaustive training is provided to the end users so that they are able to manage the running of the e-commerce website without any expert guidance. The training is focused on ensuring that users understand their roles in the management of the website and are well equipped to handle their role.
