SOBS performs web application development projects utilizing the two most common frameworks in the market today: Microsoft .Net technologies and Java J2EE technologies. SOBS uses Microsoft ASP.Net together with C# and SQLServer to provide robust applications for our clients who prefer Microsoft solutions. For clients who prefer the open-source paradigm, SOBS develops Java J2EE solutions on Apache/Tomcat, in combination with advanced messaging systems using JBoss, or alternatively using application servers such as BEA WebLogic or IBM Websphere to provide Java based solutions. We use XML to define our databases, providing for portability between SQLServer, Oracle or DB2 databases, depending upon client needs and preferences

SOBS recommends web solutions to clients in the majority of application development cases, but some business problems still lend themselves to client/server applications today. Client/server applications for customers are developed using Microsoft Visual C++, Visual Basic, C# or C++ on Unix, depending on requirements for operating system support, performance and maintainability

Legacy applications written for platforms that a client no longer plans to support often need to be ported to a new environment at minimal cost. SOBS has experience and processes to migrate applications from mainframe, client/server, Unix, Microsoft and other environments to current state of the art platforms including .Net and Java J2EE. Business rules discovery, existing process and transaction flows are captured, documented, migrated, tested and implemented on the desired platform.
