Wadeware developers primarily focus their efforts in the following five programming areas: desktop applications and tools; website design, SharePoint portal design, and Web applications; database design and development; scripting; and Windows Phone 7 mobile apps.

• Desktop applications and tools. Wadeware has considerable experience in the areas of application design and development, user interface design, and security design using languages such as C, C++, C#, VBScript, VB.NET, and the .NET Framework. We have developed software features and add-ins for leading commercial software products as well as tools and editors that monitor and perform complex information management tasks.
• Website design, SharePoint portal design, and Web applications. Wadeware uses a number of different languages to develop Web applications, including ASP.NET (C# and VB.NET), Java, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and Classic ASP/VBScript. We are also experienced in SharePoint design and deployment as well as the use of Microsoft Silverlight, a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering rich content and interactive user experiences.
• Database design and development. One of the most important assets any organization has is its data. The day-to-day activities for many organizations involve creating and updating their data and viewing it in different ways. Because such data resides in everything from physical storage to homegrown desktop databases to full-scale servers, the way it is organized, stored, and accessed can limit an organization’s ability to grow and meet the demands of an ever-changing marketplace. Wadeware has considerable experience in requirements gathering, data modeling, and database design that is a foundation of quality application development. We can help you take your organization to the next level by working closely with you and your staff to understand your current needs and future opportunities, codifying the requirements into a precise conceptual model, and realizing that model in an efficient, secure, and reliable database system.
• Scripting. Wadeware develops Windows PowerShell and VBScript scripts for a variety of uses, such as automated configuration, maintenance work, and optimization tasks. Configuration tasks include the ability to set bulk permissions in Exchange mailboxes and Active Directory as well as other user settings, IP addresses, hostnames, and DHCP functionality.
• Windows Phone 7 mobile apps. Windows Phone 7 provides secure mobile access to email and calendar data through Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile, and also benefits from a rich development environment. The combination of our developers’ considerable experience with Exchange Server, SharePoint Server (accessible through SharePoint Workspace Mobile), and web-based applications gives us the ability to create meaningful apps for rapidly increasing numbers of mobile workers.

Our application development team is highly proficient and stays current with the latest development technologies. We use state-of-the-art hardware and software tools, and follow interface design and structured software testing methodologies to ensure high-quality custom software deliverables. Wadeware’s partnerships with other firms and relationships with some of the largest and most productive software companies in the Pacific Northwest allow us to provide top-quality development resources for your project.
