Case Studies
Web Applications
Built with Microsoft ASP.NET and SQL Server, these applications are available from any web browser and allow for many users and plenty of data. The security model we use for managing users, login details and external threats has been recently tested by a security-assessment.co.nz audit. We sailed through with no significant vulnerabilities.
When deployed to an internal network, we can use Windows Active Directory or have the application available through Concerto. Patient demographics can be read in real time from your Patient Management System.
We can also arrange hosting of web applications and their databases.
