Spruce Technology brings a real world approach to custom application delivery. This approach is only enhanced by the development tools and design patterns supported under Microsoft’s technology stack. Before Spruce Technology undertakes a custom application development effort, our technology specialists work with client IT to determine:

1. Is custom development the right approach to meet the client’s need (evaluation of COTS options, evaluation of platform options, evaluation of existing systems for possible enhancement)?

2. If custom application development is the right approach, what application model best suits the client’s need?

3. What is needed to fully implement the chosen application model? Does the client have the infrastructure to host the application in-house or is a hosting solution required?

4. What is needed for the client to ultimately own and support the application once in production? Does the client have the skills in-house, what level of training is required, and/or will supplemental support be required?

Once the decision to deliver a custom solution is made, the Spruce Technology team has a tremendous amount of experience to bring to bear. Our Microsoft technology solution/application architects have experience delivering highly successful solutions that include the latest techniques and best practices recommended by Microsoft. Recent engagements include custom delivery of applications:

• Based on MVC as well as MVVM architectures

• Leveraging WFC for service oriented applications

• Using a combination of SOAP and RESTful web services as well as Web API

• Optimizing platform compatibility using XML and JSON as well as XAML
