Fast Development Migration Enhances Point-of-Service Offering and Reduces TCO

Category: Professions and Industries, Software and Web Development

Overview Global consulting and technology company Accenture was keen to develop a stronger presence in the retail Point-Of-Sale (POS) and store management arena. As part of its contract with Spanish company "Informatica El Corte Ingles," Accenture chose to migrate its POS application, Avenew Point of Service, to the Microsoft .NET Framework. It engaged Avanade, a joint venture between Microsoft and Accenture, for the migration from the Java-based architecture to the .NET Framework. Avanade used its own ACA for .NET architecture to accelerate conversion, which took less than six months. Since the migration, a more user-friendly development environment means that the Avenew Point of Service solution can be easily adapted to meet specific client needs.
