/ About the client

Building Solution Provider

Over the course of more than half a century, the client has been crafting stories of accomplishment alongside designers, builders, and developers. That history is the result of hard work and a mindset that things should be done well from the start, with vast experience in new structural and architectural construction solutions and an affiliation with several popular building systems in the United States.

In partnership with Microsoft, Brainvire developed a comprehensive application that empowers companies to streamline their day-to-day business operations. The solution handles company creation, contact management, project and job additions, estimations, task assignments, and the efficient tracking of critical data such as timesheets and expenses.

/ The approach

Design, architecture, and features, shipped as one program.

/01Functions

Run in parallel

Encoding and decoding each function individually was tedious, so a custom attribute encodes and decodes functions simultaneously at the class level, saving time and running operations rapidly.

/02Data

Loaded without lag

Massive business data and task details loaded poorly because of server issues, so a Service-Oriented Architecture shares the load across structures and gives faster access to business data.

/03Integrations

Added without friction

The firm needed extra functionality, so the team integrated useful third-party services that improve internal management, streamline operations, and help meet deadlines.

/04Reporting

Tracked at scale

Tracking was difficult because the data was huge and scattered, so SQL Server data marts, data cubes, and Analysis Services build an optimized model for reporting and analysis.

/ What stood in the way

Four problems, solved without a maintenance window.

Running functions simultaneously

The client faced a tedious process of encoding and decoding each function individually. Brainvire's.NET experts created a custom attribute that encodes and decodes functions simultaneously at the class level, which saved time and let functions run efficiently.

Poor loading of data

The client struggled to load its massive business data and task details because of server issues. A Service-Oriented Architecture created structures that share the load of the business data, so the client could access data faster.

Effective third-party integrations

The client required additional functionality to enhance operations within the firm. The team integrated useful third-party services seamlessly, which improved internal management, streamlined operations, and helped meet deadlines.

Difficulty in tracking

Tracking was difficult because the data was huge and scattered. The team used SQL Server data warehousing and BI features such as data marts, data cubes, and Analysis Services to create an optimized data model for reporting and analysis.
