RTP Selects .NET Platform to Anchor Its Enterprise Solution

Avon, Colo. – Dec. 20, 2002 – Business software provider RTP has selected The Microsoft .NET platform for RTP|ONE, its next-generation Enterprise Framework.

RTP|ONE is a unified and extensible order/transaction processing platform for developing and running enterprise applications and web services. Its n-tier architecture separates business logic from clients and data access, enabling greater flexibility in service delivery and deployment, shielding businesses from the inherent complexity and costs of operating and integrating disparate systems and enterprise applications.

According to Peter Hoskins, RTP vice president of sales and marketing, .NET is largely responsible for the success of RTP|ONE.

"The nature of the .NET platform lets us more quickly respond to customer requirements and create custom solutions," Hoskins said. " It enables us to provide a high level of modularity and extensibility. It was the key that enabled our development team to create a modern solution, making them dramatically more productive than they would be using any other technology."

The .NET Framework is the programming model of Microsoft .NET-connected software and technologies for building, deploying and running Web applications, smart client applications and XML Web services applications that expose their functionality programmatically over a network using standard protocols such as SOAP, XML, and HTTP. .NET provides a fully managed, protected and feature-rich application execution environment, simplified development and deployment, and seamless integration with a wide variety of languages.

RTP| ONE's use of the .NET Framework provides RTP customers with an unprecedented level of extensibility and flexibility, allowing them to consolidate all business systems under one integrated tool, while integrating only the application modules they need.
