The Enterprise Web Framework (EWF) is a component developed and used exclusively by Red Stapler to quickly create .NET web-based information systems. It provides consistent look & feel, navigation, input validation, data updates, and other common aspects of information systems. EWF is ideal for quickly building robust data-centric systems.

The screen shot to the right (of an insurance broker system) illustrates the consistency provided by EWF. Compare to the Customer Support System screen shot below. The systems have the same look and feel despite being functionally very different. Users of both systems would notice that errors are reported to them in the same way, and that the navigation scheme is the same. Any system built on EWF will exhibit the same proven reliability and ease of use.

Customer Support System

Red Stapler has developed a very powerful task management tool that you, as a client, may use free of charge to add and prioritize tasks for your project. Tasks may include suggestions, problems, questions, or proposals for new subsystems. No idea or job is ever lost, and the Customer Support System allows you to define at any time what is most important to your project.

Notice again how similar this screenshot is to the one above. The Customer Support System is built upon EWF, giving it proven look & feel, navigation, and robustness.

Our deployment tools allow us to upgrade your live web system in minutes with the latest version of the software. This is useful when priorities change and critical new system features must be implemented the same day. The impact on system users during an upgrade is negligible, and in most cases users may keep working without even knowing an upgrade occurred (except for enjoying the new features, of course).

Our process exists to support your needs. We will rapidly develop and gather feedback on new features you'd like to try, or we will sit down and hammer out rigorous requirements with you before choosing an implementation. Usually, a little of each is in order. Your needs will drive the approach we take to building your software. We will offer suggestions on what type of process is most suitable for you, but the decision is yours.

We have never finished a single software system. And that's not a bad thing.

After initial development, quality software systems spend many years in maintenance. "Software maintenance" does not mean fixing broken-down software. It means constantly monitoring, enhancing, and standing by a system after its initial deployment. Any software system that is used on a regular basis requires maintenance. Users think of new features, the scope of the system grows, and the needs of the business change.

Red Stapler recognizes the paramount importance of maintenance and offers the best tools to assist with it. Our Customer Support System allows you to add and prioritize improvements at any time, and our deployment system puts those changes into effect quickly. The pace of change is limited only by you.
