Making a Customizable web app a Reality Solutions Services
eDev Technologies is a requirements-management company, providing requirements solutions for the Microsoft Team Foundation Server platform. eDev created a web application called Simulation Design Module.
The Challenge
When Simulation Design Module was in the early stages of development, the number of controls required for the application meant eDev needed to create many separate incident reports in Direct-Trac, Syncfusion’s online support system. eDev wanted the application to be browser-based, yet the UI had to be completely customizable by the end user, so the product needed to be easy to use. eDev also wanted the application to contain a rich and modern UI with toolbars, a tree view, and other visually appealing interfaces.
The Solution
To streamline the development process, eDev hired the Syncfusion Solution Services team.
“Davis Jebaraj and other members of the development team gave us lots of ideas for the application during our initial consultation,” said Asif Sharif, founder and chief technologist at eDev. “As we spoke to Davis, he was reasonable in his approach, knew the subject matter, and gave us the confidence we needed.” The Syncfusion development team approached the eDev team every week with fresh ideas, different options for the control set, and good analysis of the project.
The Solution Services team suggested using Syncfusion’s Diagram control for JavaScript to give eDev the freedom to create custom diagrams. Since the control was only a beta version, the Solution Services team was able to accelerate development, allowing eDev to implement the custom diagrams in their application before it was released to the public.
eDev also wanted the entire application to be customizable, so the Solution Services team implemented the tree view control to edit, drag, and drop items into lists. This allowed customers to plan ahead and organize their finances. The Solution Services team also implemented a toolbar to select editing options, such as copy, cut, paste, and zoom.
Syncfusion has a fantastic team. The developers are very responsive to changing needs and their quality is awesome both in design and delivery. We look forward to continue with Syncfusion as an extension to our own “development team,” said Sharif. “Thank you Davis and company.” With the help of Syncfusion’s Solution Services team, eDev was able to create the application based on the customer’s needs that is completely customizable.
The Benefits
- More than 500 hours of development time saved.
- The application functions on any browser.
- It is usable and customizable for people without development experience.
