Project Solution
Diceus developed the client's entire web platform using Microsoft technologies and deployed it on Microsoft Azure PaaS. They architected a scalable, cost-effective design that stored most content in Azure Table Storage (NoSQL) while keeping user and registration data in SQL Server. The team built the marketplace, a small social network, and an e-learning platform in ASP.NET MVC and implemented a custom security token service using Windows Identity Foundation to meet the project's security needs.
Project Outcome
- Platform went live in August after approximately a year of beta testing
- Vendor provided ongoing support through beta and launch
- Agile delivery with regular standups and task tracking using Microsoft Team Foundation Server
- Seamless billing and strong project management
- Vendor added value by offering design and implementation suggestions beyond the client’s initial ideas
