infrastructure.net infrastructure.net
is a robust, cloud based technology platform conceived and developed
for designing and deploying enterprise applications. The goal of this

operational costs by combining increased efficiency with event-driven
notification and procedural accountability in infrastructure management
business processes. infrastructure.net provides multiple platforms for delivering secure, intuitive business solutions and process interaction anywhere a user might be. These platforms include a Web Portal, iPad and Mobile support, CAD integration and web services components. Additional server-side components can be added to provide increased functionality, such as the Transaction Services, Data Integration Services, and various Drawings on Demand Servers. It is available as a foundational solution via the cloud based distribution methodology. infrastructure.net serves as the keystone platform for solutions that provide organizations the ability to adapt to and more effectively manage change in the dynamic modern workplace. It provides a secure, authenticated interface to business processes, dynamic reports, charts, drawings, documents and more via a variety of interfaces including Microsoft Windows applications, Autodesk AutoCAD, web browsers, iPad, Android and Windows Mobile devices plus XML Web Services. As part of its modular design, Infrastructure.Net is made of several blocks of functionality called “server services” that can be used to create a tailored application solution. By simply “snapping in” the required server services, a prospective application can leverage a rich assortment of enterprise caliber capability, such as an enterprise web portal, notification, task management, data entry, reporting, charting and more. Furthermore, the application integration technologies that are inherent to the Infrastructure.Net provide for deep integration with many existing Commercial Off-the Shelf applications. Many infrastructure.net customers utilize our Application Adapters for use with other popular systems, such as ARCHIBUS/FM®. Using the Application Adapters technology, you can easily provide support for data entry, reporting, charting and drawing linking for other applications and databases even internally developed ones. Many clients pushed their use of spreadsheets and LAN based databases to the limit and realized a need to migrate to a cloud based SQL database structure and related web interfaces for their various users.
