Software Development
Software Development Technologies Supported
.NET: is the Microsoft Web services strategy to connect information, people, systems, and
devices through software. .NET is Integrated across the Microsoft platform, therefore .NET applications run exclusively
on Microsoft operating systems. Microsoft Visual Studio is the tool ITD uses to write .NET applications.
COBOL: ITD is maintaining several customer systems that were written in the COBOL
programming language. These are batch and on-line applications that run on our mainframe computer. Our direction is to
phase out COBOL programs as systems are re-written in newer technologies.
Cool:Gen: is a development tool that we use to design and develop client/server and web
based applications. Cool:Gen applications can be generated to run as a client on the system user's PC, or they can
be generated to run as an html interface on the user's web browser.
Crystal Reports: is a PC based report writer that easily creates reports via a GUI drag
and drop interface.
Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS): ITD provides EDMS business analysis
services and we support a full line of Document Management tools. We have the expertise to integrate an
application’s data processing requirements and its document management needs to create an end-to-end
solution.
GIS: ITD develops GIS web applications using ESRI's ArcIMS technology. GIS web
applications utilize data stored on the state's GIS Hub. State agencies can specify the look and feel of their GIS
web applications and the functionality of the applications. GIS web applications utilize HTML, javascript, and Java.
Java: is the ‘run anywhere' language that is powering the Internet. Java's
strength is that it can run inside the virtual java machine on any computer platform. Java applications are designed to
run in a J2EE environment. IBM Web Developers Studio is the tool used to write J2EE applications.
MS-Access: ITD Software Development provides Microsoft Access system development services
for state agencies. This type of development uses MS-Access as the data storage software and can either use MS-Access
or Application Server Pages (ASP) web technology as the development tool.
MS-Access is a good choice for application development when the application will run on a stand-alone machine or in
a small network environment with 5 users or less. Suggested maximum data storage requirement is 2GB. MS-Access is not a
good solution if your data is 24/7 critical. Access is a good solution for customers that prefer to maintain their own
code.
NATURAL: is a fourth generation programming language that ITD runs on our mainframe
computer. NATURAL applications can run in batch or on-line mode. Our direction is to phase out NATURAL programs as
systems are re-written in newer technologies.
PowerBuilder: is the development tool we use to design and develop client/server
applications that run as a client on the system user's PC. PowerBuilder creates a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
with a multiple document interface that is very suitable for applications' power users.
PowerDesignor: is a data modeling tool that we use to create data models as we design
relational databases.
Web Services: are used by ITD as a means of providing re-usable business logic or other
application components using standard Internet protocols. Web Services represent black-box functionality that can be
used and reused without regard to how the service is implemented
Web Site Development: ITD's web developers use a variety of tools and languages to
create web graphics and content. Their tool kit contains HTML, PHP, Javascript, HomeSite, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and
FrontPage.
XML (Extended Markup Language): provides a powerful interface that allows applications to
pass data to and from other applications.
