It is totally transparent and unobtrusive in use, and platform indepen...

Recently, we developed some projects through Entity Framework. The framework is great to create database structures and data-access layers. When you design a database for a system, you can create table structures in the database and create data-access layers through the framework.

I recently attended Intacct implementation training. Having more than 15 years of experience with Sage 300 ERP (formerly Sage Accpac), it was very interesting to learn another mid-market ERP. As is usually the case, each of the systems has its strengths and weaknesses, and different customers may prefer different ERP, depending upon their business needs, priorities and corporate ...
