Frequently Asked Questions:What is Microsoft .NET? And how will this new technology impact my business?Microsoft .NET (pronounced “dot net”) is a completely 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. Don Richardson, group manager of .NET evangelism at Microsoft Corp. further explains the significance of this new technology: "The change to the Microsoft .NET Platform is as dramatic as the change from DOS to Windows. The software vendors that get in on the ground floor of this shift will have a huge advantage over the competition, and Intuitive has been on board from the start." The expected impact on the manufacturing industry is significant. “Within two years, educated manufacturers will not buy an enterprise solution that is not one-hundred percent .NET-based,” said Chuck Gillam, president of Intuitive.
