Converting core component of its innovative `CreditEase` Instalment credit solution to an `Offline` platform using Microsoft`s latest .Net architecture has enabled K'e Concepts to deliver a comprehensive solution to businesses facing limiting internet infrastructure.
Ke Concepts current development platforms have expanded to include that of .Net architecture benefiting the flagship of its service offering to the public, CreditEase, by offering an `offline`, loan origination component written in .Net called `CreditEase Business Frontiers`.
Gareth Jane, Ke Concepts Head of Development, believes that Microsoft`s .Net strategy is crucial for local companies wanting to enter the international development arena and provide more cost effective solutions to software consumers. .Net`s Web services allow for international deployment at a fraction of the costs classically associated with moving products offshore.
"Through developing Web services and then exposing them over the Web, developers components can now be integrated across multiple platforms from all over the world," said Jane.
When asked what this meant practically, Jane explained: "In effect, a systems integrator can select the best components on offer worldwide and use just the parts he requires, put them together and deliver a custom solution built using generic components. This should cut down delivery times as well as create truly flexible component based architecture in products."
The exciting news for K'e`s clients is that the .Net architecture allows the clients, at a user level, to segregate and use only those components of the system that they actually require, in this case the loan origination component `CreditEase Business Frontiers`. Integration with the sophisticated debtors management component `CreditEase ASP Online` becomes relatively painless and involves a daily `Batched` download and upload through a simple dialup, providing a solution to businesses with locations that restrict permanent Internet connectivity and reliable bandwidth, or businesses that can not justify the costs of real time access.
Realistically, implementing a combination of an `offline` loan origination component integrated to a real-time sophisticated debtors management solution will dramatically reduce the cost of setting up and running a branch network throughout Africa related to both software and infrastructure requirements.
