The Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.0 (formerly known as WinFX) is the new managed-code programming model for Windows. It combines the power of .NET Framework 2.0 with new technologies for building applications that have a visually compelling user experience, seamless communication across technology boundaries, and support for a wide range of business processes. nHome Complete is built entirely upon the .NET framework and supports the full range of .NET functionality.
This means that nHome Complete can connect and exchange data with virtually any legacy system to minimize redundant data entry and maximize your leverage of previous investments in data management systems. Working together with Microsoft and its .NET product suite, NDSI has managed to obsolete the old “stovepipe” model in favor of a distributed objects model, creating the true next generation of homecare systems. These new systems are incredibly powerful, intuitive, simple to learn and easy to use. This new technology also provides tremendous gains in user productivity and inter-system connectivity. Through the .NET framework, NDSI has been able to integrate all kinds of new features and functions such as telephony, telemedicine, internet resources, handheld devices and more.
