An Entire New Approach to Business Software Development

As businesses become more reliant on technology they often find that they need to purchase a number of incompatible, disparate systems in order to run their business. Inflexible and incompatible, these applications not only have a completely different “look and feel” but also different business logic and database design.

To overcome this problem a few application vendors have created “integrated” applications that combine many different functions into a single application. These applications are often “worst of breed” solutions as modules developed outside the “core competency” of the application vendor are inferior to the “stand alone” applications created by the software companies who specialize in that business functionality.

To overcome the challenges that businesses today face, AspDotNetStorefront IS and Interprise Suite are built on the Connected Business Platform.

Introducing the Connected Business Platform

The Connected Business Platform (CBP) gives Application Programmers, Developers and Resellers a single platform to create, customize and support the next generation of fully integrated “best of breed” applications.

Like pieces of a puzzle that come together to form an integrated whole, CBP applications “Plug-in” together to collectively solve the unique needs of each businesses.

To speed development and provide consistent business logic across all CBP applications, the CBP is comprised of two components; the CBP Framework, which provides the applications foundation; and the CBP API kit, which includes thousands of business functions that can be shared among all CBP applications.

The Connected Business Framework
The “CBP Framework” is the heart and soul of the CBP and handles many of the non-business logic related functions such as plug-in management, data connections, data concurrency, security settings, end user customization options and more. Additionally the Framework includes a large number of reusable components and functions all designed to ensure a consistent user experience across all CBP applications.

The Connected Business API
If the “CBP Framework” is the heart and soul of the CBP then the “CBP API” is its brains. The API includes thousands of business functions and hundreds of reusable objects giving users consistent business logic across all CBP applications. Business functions included in the API kit include CRM, Customer, Vendor, Inventory, Banking, Reporting, Calendaring, eMail, Accounting functions and more.

The Connected Business Platform Brings All of the Pieces Together to Form a Single Comprehensive Solution
