Why We Choose Microsoft Technology

konsep.net has been running since 2000, and over the years we've tried a good many technologies, languages, and frameworks. Since 2009 we've focused on building applications on Microsoft technology as our core competency. Of course, not everything fits one mold — there's a best solution for each problem — but most of the challenges we face, especially the B2B solutions our main customers need, are well served by Microsoft technology.

A few of the reasons we use it:

• The best support from Microsoft Indonesia.
• Microsoft offers best-practice software-development methodologies.
• A huge amount of technical information online (knowledge base and community).
• Microsoft has long been a leader in IT innovation and technology.
• We don't have to reinvent the wheel — the Microsoft framework provides many of the pieces.
• A broad solution and complete technology stack (desktop, web, RIA, enterprise, mobile, OS, Office, business solutions, database server, and more), which reduces the need for many different vendors.
• A framework that supports secure, reliable, and faster time-to-market.

So far, it's brought us plenty of positives.

Beyond this, for mobile (Nokia and BlackBerry) we develop with Java and Symbian — Nokia being a major player worldwide, including in Indonesia.
