Experience Gateway

Gateway has successfully developed Enterprise Solutions, E-Commerce Portals (B2B and B2C), M-Commerce Applications, ASP Portals, Client Server business applications and product development using MS .NET environment. Gateway’s experience as a company with MS .NET development architecture has already crossed 1,20,000 man hours (@ 50 man years) working on 150 challenging projects.

At Gateway we have technically strong team of software engineers to take challenges and deliver most complicated and time pressure jobs. The team comprises of senior project managers with combined experience of about 100+ man years and also working abroad at client site for prestigious projects.

Gateway has internally developed Microsoft technology based frameworks that enable a developer to jump-start into development right away, without worrying about the intricacies behind database connectivity, File I/O, error handling, session and application management.

These frameworks encapsulate implementation level details of repetitive code in ASP and COM components. The framework is created to help speed up development time and build web applications with fewer complexities. Using these frameworks, majority of the efforts is focused on the business logic or functionality implementation.

Apart from this at gateway, we also use some of the off the shelf products like :

Infragistics suite of products.
Mere mortal framework (under evaluation).
Protection Plus.
