We utilize a multitude of technologies when implementing solutions for our Clients. At ThinkNet Inc. we strive to remain current and leading edge in the technologies we recommend and deploy all the while ensuring our Clients longevity of solution.

The following lists some of the key technologies we utilize.

SharePoint 2003/2007/2010

We have seen SharePoint evolve since the early days in 2002 into the leading Business application platform. SharePoint is a great platform to host business applications with many Out-of-the-box (OOTB) templates and solutions applicable to Business needs. Since SharePoint is based on Microsoft's development platform it is very easy to extend and customize.

Microsoft Silverlight

Microsoft's Silverlight technology has quickly evolved to be very commonplace in Web application design and implementation. At ThinkNet Inc., Silverlight is used extensively to enhance Web Applications to deliver on the promise of Web 2.0 and Rich Internet Applications (RIA). Silverlight integrates easily with Sharepoint and provides our developers endless options to improve the usability and appeal of Web Applications.

.Net

Microsoft .Net is the leading development platform for both SharePoint and other custom applications. At ThinkNet Inc., .Net is a key and required technology in everything that is developed or customized. With .Net in our 'toolbox' we are able to develop and deploy any solutions that our Cients may require.

InfoPath

Microsoft InfoPath is a form filling technology that seamlessly integrates with SharePoint and is as easy to use as Microsoft Office. At ThinkNet Inc. we utilize InfoPath to speed development time of solutions where 'electronic forms' are required. As well, InfoPath is heavily used in automating business process and workflows.

SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is an industry standard, reliable and performant database server. At ThinkNet Inc. we utilize SQL server exclusively as it is 'hands down' the most cost effective database platform around, beating out Oracle, Sybase, DB2 and all others. SQL server includes the best relational database server, leading analysis server (i.e. Cubes), the best reporting server (i.e. better than Crystal reports) and top notch data migration tools.

ForeFront

Microsoft ForeFront provides first rate protection for Exchange Server, SharePoint and File servers. At ThinkNet Inc. Forefront is a recommended software to guard against viruses, malware and other issues created by hackers.

Hyper-V Virtualization

Microsoft Hyper-V Virtualizaiton technologies is fast becoming a standard practice in the Business community. At ThinkNet Inc. we often recommend using Hyper-V for hosting Development, QA/Testing enironments and even Production environments.

Office XML

The Office XML and OpenXML development SDKs are the best way for programatically creating Office documents. At ThinkNet Inc. we utilize the latest OpenXML SDKs to create solutions and Web Applications that automate the creation of Office documents.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

SOA has become a standard methodology for architecting Web Applications and Web Solutions. At ThinkNet Inc. we have embraced this Design Pattern and implement it using Web Services (both ASMX and WCF).
