Greenfield ERP — .NET edition
Past work2011 – 2013 · Software agency
Second greenfield ERP at the agency — a different customer in the construction industry, on a .NET stack instead of Java, with a shared technical lead role earned from the first project.
Second ERP commissioned at the agency, this time for a construction-industry customer. Different technology foundation from the first ERP — .NET / C# with MSSQL instead of Java/JavaEE/DB2 — and a shared technical leadership role taken on based on the track record from the Java ERP.
Context
A construction-industry customer commissioned a second ERP iteration at the agency — same agency, different domain, different technology foundation. The .NET stack fit the customer's environment better than the Java/JavaEE base of the first ERP.
What I built
- Designed and built the application on the .NET stack, in parallel with the later phases of the Java ERP.
- Took on shared technical leadership — based on the track record from the first ERP project.
Outcome
A second ERP project under my belt, on a different tech foundation. Running the two ERPs side by side — Java + DB2 for one customer, .NET + MSSQL for another — gave me deep dual-stack experience early on, which I still draw on when modernization work crosses my desk.
Architecture
3-tier: WPF / MVVM client, WCF services on IIS, MSSQL backend. The .NET counterpart to the earlier Java ERP — same architectural pattern, different implementation.
