INTRODUCTION
ABSTRACT
In the modern Internet age most of the business is being conducted through the internet. As a result space comes at a premium, more the space that is needed the more it costs. In the existing scenario a client wanting to store data in the web server has to rent space in the database server of the deploying agency as well as paying for the web space in the web server.
This system is not economical and furthermore the client has lesser control over the data as the Database Administrator belongs to the ISP.
To counter these disadvantages the proposed system implements the changes as follows, when a user submits data to the deploying agency instead of storing it in a separate database server the data is stored in a flat file format like XML in the web server space itself, thereby eliminating the cost of renting a database server completely. The client can then login to the web server and download the necessary XML files which are parsed and the data in the XML files are stored in the local database. This provides an added advantage in that the client can have better control over the data as they can have their own Database Administrator.

Quality
Quality is universally recognized as the backbone of any company’s operations and Maze Net has taken several initiatives to streamline product development and project delivery processes to bring them in sync with international quality standards.
The responsibility of initiating and sustaining quality improvement programs has been entrusted to a Quality Department and process Groups within the company. An internal Quality Assurance Group further verifies the implementation of these quality programs.
The Quality Department in Maze Net is responsible for the development of processes, monitoring the progress of the process development effort, ensuring that the outputs are formally reviewed and arrange for the incorporation of the finalized process documents into the Quality System of the organization. Additionally, the Quality Department also defines the standards for the process related documents and facilitates the formation of Process Groups and ensures their compliance with the policy directives of the Quality Department.
As part of their effort to propagate quality awareness within the organization and introduce quality standards in all of Maze Net’s dealings, the Quality Department is adopting a four-tier strategy of customer focus, people focus, process focus and predictability improvement. The customer focus is intended at contributing to the creation of customer relationships that endure beyond the end of assignments while the people focus aims at building a learning organization to manage the demands of rapid technological changes. The process focus will bring about process focus through well-defined, institutionalized processes and finally, Maze Net would also work towards improving the predictability of delivery time, effort and quality of delivery.
Project Methodology
At Maze Net, we have made the art of migration, a science with a long list of success stories. Managed by the most innovative minds, led by highly experienced professionals and supported by a very talented delivery team, Maze Net is committed in providing the best quality solutions to its customers. Project Delivery in Maze Net comprises four major phases each of which has various sub steps aimed at producing high quality, cost effective results. Aiming to achieve the best results and optimum customer comfort, Maze Net follows the unique CTM Model. CTM (Continuity Team Member) ensures continuous contact between customer and the off site team during the entire project life cycle.
During phase1, the original application is analyzed by the CTM to pinpoint the enhancements that could be made during migration. The dependencies are resolved, probable problem areas are identified and after repetitive discussions with the user, a migration framework is designed. At Maze Net this framework is called Final System Document (FSD) based on which the migration is carried out. Sample Forms and/or Reports are developed which is used to obtain user inputs and the FSD is optimized. This FSD and the final version of the samples, forms the foundation of the whole migration process.
During phase 2, Migration and Unit Testing, the CTM interacts with the off site team and based on the FSD and samples, derives inputs to the migration tool and formulates a migration strategy for the application. The Application is migrated, unit testing is done and after certification from the quality department, the migrated units are shipped back to the customer.
During phase 3, Customer Testing, the migrated application is delivered to the customer who tests the application. Application bugs, which arise due to environmental and related reasons, are sorted out and the delivery process is completed.
During Phase 4, Sign Off and Maintenance, signifies completion of the Project. Maze Net enters into an optional maintenance contract if the customer desires so for a certain period of time.
.Net
We recommend .NET framework as a preferred solution for our clients as the ROI in migrating your legacy applications to a .NET framework based application is much faster than any other technologies prevalent in the market.
Microsoft.NET is a revolutionary new platform, built on open Internet protocols and standards, with tools and services that meld computing and communications in new ways. With .NET, Microsoft presents a new platform of which the goal is to develop Web applications simply inter operable, resting on a completely new architecture. For Microsoft, .NET will make it possible to program the Web, neither more, nor less. Microsoft .NET is Microsoft’s XML Web services platform. . .NET contains all that’s needed to build and run software based on XML, the lingua franca of Internet data exchange. Microsoft .NET solves several core problems underlying software development today.
Some of the fallacies of legacy systems that corporations are looking towards arresting
• Limited scalability and system administration problems
• Inaccurate, incorrect or non-existent support artifacts, such as Requirements, or Design developement.
• Enormous maintenance costs - incurred primarily to rectify bugs that are either inherited or introduced during production support and/or modifying the software to keep it current with business needs
• Inflexibility to changing business, market, and end-user needs
• Lack of user-friendliness
Adopting .NET as the solution of choice, organizations can
• Tightly coupled client server environment to a loosely coupled distributed web environment.
• Platform independence and scalability, allowing applications to run without modification on all kinds of devices big and small
• Intelligent graphical user interfaces, consistent across all platforms
• Reduced time and cost of software development, and software reuse via COM+ the Microsoft plug-and-play component architecture
• Centralized software and network management, cutting desktop administration to zero or near-zero
• Secure network delivery
• New efficiencies through the linking of suppliers, customers, and trading partners in integrated supply chains.
