Microsoft Development Technologies Behind Every Great Solution

One partner for the whole estate, provided that partner also holds standing on the non-Microsoft platforms in your environment. i3solutions has been a Microsoft partner since 1997, builds on SharePoint, Power Platform, Azure, .NET and SQL Server, and has implemented governance frameworks for organizations managing 200+ integrations across Microsoft ecosystems, so accountability for the seams stays with one team.

i3solutions builds on the assets, systems and skills a client already has, so the result is reusable, scalable and supportable rather than a rebuild. Knowing when not to use a technology matters as much as knowing how to use it. That judgment is what clients and partners have relied on since 1997.

Learn how i3solutions works both sides of that move and can migrate your existing IBM Connections Portal to Microsoft SharePoint.

Most enterprise workloads now run in the cloud or sit on a plan to move there. Cost, elasticity and access to managed services are the usual reasons organizations are migrating systems and applications to the cloud. The harder questions are which workloads move, in what order, and what governance follows them.

i3solutions works those decisions with you and documents the reasoning, so the plan survives a security review and a budget defense.

Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is the platform most of our clients standardize on. Its platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings will host applications that were never developed in a Cloud-native environment, which is what makes a move viable before any rewrite is scheduled. The decision that matters is which applications move as they are and which get rebuilt Cloud-native, because that choice sets what the environment costs to run and how confidential data and systems are protected once they are there. Collaboration across locations and remote work come with the platform. The controls do not. Using Azure, i3solutions handles both the strategy and the implementation of an updated application, including the identity and data-protection work that decides whether a migration passes review.

Process automation work is decided by the platform already sitting in the environment, not by preference, so we hold working depth in the tools our clients actually run. i3solutions has implemented over 300 business process automation and workflow solutions using tools such as these.

Nintex

i3solutions is a member of the Nintex Partner Network and builds business processes on the Nintex Platform, then maintains them as the processes behind them change. Nintex workflow adds a drag-and-drop workflow designer, connectivity and advanced workflow features to the Microsoft SharePoint platform. Your team can automate business processes that range from a leave approval request to an integration spanning several external applications.

K2

As a K2 Insider, i3solutions automates and streamlines processes on K2’s development platform. Its visually oriented tools let people from technical and non-technical backgrounds create and modify applications that manage day-to-day business processes such as document approval and inventory tracking, which is what keeps the backlog off IT once the platform is governed properly.

New tools appear constantly and most never earn a place in a client system. These are some of the ones i3solutions’ development team does use in production, kept because of what they do for quality, performance and security.

MongoDB

MongoDB is the right call when the shape of a record keeps changing and a relational schema would have to change with it. It is a document database, with the querying and indexing to support that. MongoDB allows our Development Team to easily organize, use and enrich data in real time, anywhere. Data placement can be controlled by region, which matters when performance targets or residency rules dictate where records are allowed to live.

Spring

Runtime, programming model and architecture are chosen once and are expensive to reverse. Spring provides reactive support at every level of the stack: web, security, data and messaging. It covers configuration, security, web applications and large data workloads inside one framework, which is why we reach for it when a client estate is Java rather than .NET.

Docker

Docker standardizes development environments, so a developer joining a project is productive without rebuilding a machine first. It removes the dependency conflicts that otherwise differ from one workstation to the next. Containerization lets our DevOps teams deploy more often with less variance between builds.

HTML 5 / CSS3

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are two core technologies among others that are used by i3solutions’ Developers to build Web pages. While HTML gives the basic structure of the web page, CSS provides a variety of devices for the layouts. Together they give our web developers the means to set headings, body text, lists, tables, images, layouts, colors and fonts, and to keep the result accessible and maintainable after handover.
