Core Technologies

IKS is focused on providing solutions that utilize the best available proven technologies. Our solutions are typically web-based and primarily developed on the Microsoft platform. We are also experienced at integrating systems and data from a variety of vendors and database management systems. We leverage web technologies to deliver reliable, scalable, and secure applications.  Our applications are implemented using either a Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2005 or Oracle 9i/10g database driving a Microsoft .NET 2.0 web application.  The .NET platform allows us to perform the same labor-intensive tasks that used to require a system application using a web-based application instead.  Our applications use newer web technologies like Microsoft AJAX 1.0 to deliver a user experience that cannot be beaten in our field.
