Windows Software
RedSwimmer uses the latest Microsoft .NET framework to develop your custom Windows
software application. The disadvantage of purchasing "off the shelf" software is
that you will be required to change the way you work to fit within the constraints
of the software, but this is not the case with our custom Windows software. Your
software will be custom tailored to fit the way you do business to take advantage
of your best practices and improve employee productivity. Windows Software is best
suited to applications where the user will regularly be using the same workstation
for long periods of time and ease of use and performance are of the highest importance.

Windows Services
If you have a need to automate background computing tasks then a Windows Service
may be the ideal solution. On Microsoft Windows operating systems, a Windows service
is a long-running executable that performs specific functions and which is designed
not to require user intervention. Windows services can be configured to start when
the operating system is booted and run in the background as long as Windows is running,
or they can be started manually when required.
Windows Service key features include:
- Automate manual processes with precision and reliability
- Perform specific tasks which do not to require user intervention
- Manipulate and transport important data automatically
- Designed to run on any Windows desktop or server
Microsoft SQL Database Design
All of our applications are database driven whether it is a local database on a
PC or a central database shared by multiple clients (see Client/Server Applications
below). SQL / relational data storage is the most common method of storing data
for business systems. It features high performance data retrieval and reporting.
It is good for storing large amounts of data and provides tools to maintain data
integrity. However, SQL Server data storage is only as good as the logical and physical
database design - all of the advantages of relational databases can be negated by
a bad design. It can be difficult to map relational data into an object-oriented
software design and RedSwimmer has the experience to do just that.
Microsoft SQL Database Design key features include:
- Efficient data storage solutions for businesses of all sizes
- Store valuable data in centralized servers for data-mining and reporting
- All databases designed with business scalability in mind
- High performance data retrieval and real-time reporting

Client / Server Applications
If you have a need for a central computing solution then a client/server application
may be the ideal solution. Client/Server computing or networking is a distributed
application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between service providers
(servers) and service requesters, called clients. Often clients and servers operate
over a computer network on separate hardware. A server machine is a high-performance
host that is running one or more server programs which share its resources with
clients. A client does not share any of its resources, but requests a server's content
or service function. Clients therefore initiate communication sessions with servers
which await (listen to) incoming requests. RedSwimmer has the expertise to develop
a client/server application to fit the needs of your business.
Client / Server Application key features include:
- High performance servers share its resources with client workstations
- Distribute tasks or workloads between servers and clients
- Applications can operate over a computer network of any size
- Store valuable data in centralized servers for data-mining and reporting
Smart Client Applications
If you have need for Windows software which operates both while connected to the
internet and offline (not connected to the internet) then Windows software application
with smart client capabilities is what you want. RedSwimmer accomplishes this through
the use of a small SQL Compact database located on your PC which is used to store
data locally when an internet connection is unavailable then synchronize local data
with a central database when an internet connection becomes available. The .NET
Framework provides a common platform upon which smart client applications can be
built. This sort of smart client application can be very useful while traveling
or when internet connectivity is sporadic.
Smart Client Application key features include:
- Conduct business on the go with or without internet connectivity
- Stores data locally when an internet connection is unavailable
- Synchronizes data with a central database when internet is available
- Custom tailored to work on specific mobile devices
