Multi-Platform Enterprise Desktop Suite
Developed a comprehensive desktop application suite for financial services, using Electron and .NET technologies to deliver consistent experiences across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Project Overview
We developed a custom .NET enterprise application suite for a large corporation. The application integrates with existing systems and provides a seamless experience for users across their entire organization while significantly improving operational efficiency.
The technical implementation leveraged the power of C# and the .NET Framework, with modern WPF interfaces, robust data access layers using Entity Framework, and comprehensive integration with existing enterprise systems. Our solution replaced several legacy applications with a unified, maintainable codebase that dramatically improved performance and user satisfaction.
The Challenge
A financial services firm required a desktop application suite that could work across multiple operating systems while integrating with legacy systems, maintaining enterprise-grade security, and improving employee productivity.
- Legacy System Integration: Connecting with outdated enterprise systems while maintaining data integrity and business logic
- Complex Workflows: Supporting sophisticated business processes with many edge cases and approval chains
- Performance: Delivering responsive application performance despite handling large datasets and complex operations
- Security: Implementing enterprise-grade security with fine-grained permissions and auditing
- User Experience: Creating an intuitive interface for users with varying technical skills
- Deployment: Ensuring smooth deployment across thousands of workstations without disrupting business operations
Our Solution
Technical Architecture
We developed a comprehensive .NET ecosystem with three main components:
- Core Application Suite: Built with C# and WPF, providing rich, responsive user interfaces with the MVVM pattern to ensure clean separation of concerns and testability
- Data Access Layer: Implemented with Entity Framework for efficient data operations, along with custom repositories for complex queries and specialized data transformations
- Integration Services: Windows Services and WCF services that handle synchronization with other enterprise systems, scheduled processes, and background operations
Key Technical Features
Performance Optimization
Implemented intelligent caching, asynchronous operations, and optimized database queries to handle large datasets with minimal latency, ensuring smooth user experiences even during complex operations.
Enterprise Security
Built a comprehensive security system with Active Directory integration, role-based access control, and detailed audit logging to ensure compliance with corporate security policies.
Workflow Engine
Created a flexible workflow engine that allows business processes to be defined, executed, and monitored, with support for approval chains, notifications, and exception handling.
Reporting System
Developed a comprehensive reporting system using SQL Server Reporting Services that provides both standard and custom reports, with export capabilities to various formats including Excel and PDF.
