The Platform

The FieldAtWork platform is a complete business platform that enables the building of an operational software as a service solution. Using Microsoft .Net as the core environment the platform is built as an open architecture. It is more than just a software toolkit in that the components can be used as distinct modules or as the building blocks for specific vertical solutions. The platform allows for rapid tailoring to meet specific business requirements and is a first in providing a broad based, open architecture to deliver a software as a service solution 'out the box'
