Since 1999 I started with designing, developing, maintaining logistic and financial software applications (solutions) for SMEs, healthcare and multinationals. In the early days it was normal to deliver custom made solutions instead of combining functionality in a generic solution. Maintainability can be a challenge if more than 1 customer uses the solution while the environment may be different when using custom made solutions. To improve the development speed and reducing the overall costs I started to design and build a specialized architecture to fulfill the needs in making new generic solutions. After the test where successful I used this approach for the first time in 2004. On the next large project in the healthcare where several flexible, high availability and secure software solutions where needed this architecture was applied. Due to its success this approach is later introduced for existing and new solutions.
Besides designing and developing software applications, I was also responsible for transferring old data to the newly implemented solutions. After fulfilling several migrations, I found a method to manage and optimize actions. For further optimization I started designing and developing specialized software for generic transferring data, managing and controlling the transfer of data, creating checklists and improving data quality.
The first solutions where primarily based on Progress (OpenEdge) and later transformed to C#. Since 2006 I started using XAF as base for all the new solutions.
In 2016 I started my own company to design, build, deliver and/or host (SaaS) my own specialized solutions for administrative process improvement, DMS and transferring and migration tools. After designing a new improved architecture, we started selecting the right framework and took XAF also into account. What I already knew, which was confirmed again, was that XAF helps us to empower the vision and goals on building and delivering our software solutions.
