What is Microsoft .NET? And how will this new technology impact my business?

Microsoft .NET (pronounced “dot net”) is a new approach to how software will operate. Microsoft defines .NET as “a set of software technologies designed to connect your world of information, people, systems, and devices.” While Microsoft .NET is a huge global change, there are several specific benefits for the manufacturing industry: a) the promise of lower IT costs, b) new features that will allow manufacturing companies to leverage the Internet, and c) more efficient manufacturing software development. In essence, by choosing .NET you are choosing software systems to run your business that are more innovative and robust, faster, less costly to administer, safer and more secure, and easier to use.
