Government Technology - April 2008 - (Page NW4)

Technology Matters - Think about this: Who would you rather have building the foundation of your solution, industry-leader Microsoft® or your public administration software provider? If your software vendor develops the foundation of your product, how much of your money goes into the foundation of your product versus the solutions you use? Your public administration software should be more than an application. It should be a solution. By leveraging Microsoft technology, New World Systems has broken from the countless number of vendors building applications that are difficult and costly to maintain and is instead building solutions with tools that make your life easier. A solution that allows you to: • Work from anywhere • Easily access information through common applications • Answer questions in an instant When you select public administration software, you are making a long-term investment. You will never see the foundation of this software, but it plays a vital role in your ability to integrate with other applications and Work the Way You Live. You should make sure the longterm investment you make now will evolve as technology evolves, without a high cost to you. It is also extremely important to invest in a technology that is at the beginning of its life cycle. To keep up with the demands of local government, many software vendors constantly spin their wheels working to refresh the user interface of their product, while neglecting its very foundation which becomes brittle and inflexible. This approach results in limited functionality and poor integration with future software applications, including the Microsoft® products you use each day. Although many software vendors say they take advantage of Microsoft.NET tools to build their solution, New World’s Logos.NET is the only solution that is built from the ground up on that existing framework. Much like the soil of a garden, the Microsoft.NET framework provides a fertile, expandable foundation for public administration solutions. Some software vendors use only the Microsoft tools which will eventually limit future functionality, but Logos.NET is built on this flexible, scaleable and expandable foundation using web services in a service-oriented architecture (SOA). By leveraging Microsoft technology as the foundation of our Logos.NET solution, New World relies on a trusted source to keep our technology current without the need for customers to ever have to re-implement. As a Gold Certified Partner, New World Systems solutions are all tightly integrated like never before with common Microsoft applications both now and well into the future.
