How Atidan Helped Science Publications Aggregate Resources and Create amazing Custom Applications
Science publications is an educational publishing house Since 2003, they have published over 13,021 articles and 51,056 citations. The peer-reviewed, open access academic journals focus on the rapidly growing requirements of modern scientists. They aim to encourage exceptional ideas, facilitate new researchers and spread innovative concepts globally.
Business Needs
The primary objective of the project was creating a custom application catering to the pharma industry that would bring together all the research documents and citations of doctors and medical professionals. The application also required building functionality for the Pharma companies to be able to procure/order the research data for cutting-edge innovation. The primary challenges associated with the project were:
- Customization for a vast clientele
- Heavy Data Management
- Integration of third-party APIs
- Management and tracking of orders
The Technology Stack
Developing enterprise grade applications is even harder given the additional requirements for reliability of systems and the diverse customer-base with their specialized needs. It is vital to choose the right technologies to work with that provide the best value in terms of the tradeoffs you have to make. For this specific project, we were able to utilize the following technologies:
- .NET: .NET framework is used for developing software applications using different languages. It is widely-used given that it can be used to develop applications for a number of platforms. The .NET framework also provides a lot of flexibility in terms of the supported programming languages.
- SQL Server: It is a relational database management system from Microsoft. It is designed and built in order to manage and store data. It supports various business intelligence and analytics operations which often proves to be of great help.
- JQuery: It is a javascript framework used to add extra functionalities to websites by traversing and manipulating the DOM tree.
- Azure Cloud: Azure is a public cloud offering from Microsoft with a ton of microservices offerings. With solutions ranging from IaaS, PaaS to SaaS, Azure has support for a lot of services such as business intelligence, deep learning, virtual machines, and cloud storage.
Atidan’s Solution: An in-depth Guide into the development process
The logical first step was to centralize the database to ensure that customers have the ability to access all data resources through a single application. Our team developed the application that could be used by medical institutes and facilities to upload and print research documents. The intelligent choice of utilizing the MVC software architecture pattern was made and using .NET, a SQL server and JQuery, our team was able to build an elaborate and reliable application that was more than just fit for the use case. The application was deployed on Azure Cloud which further optimized the company’s hardware resources. The application portal was highly customized given the various kinds of customers the client catered to. At Atidan, we strongly believe in developing while having the end user in mind. Functions were built into the platform to ensure that the uploading of research data on the application was a breeze for the Pharma companies. With automated testing, we were able to identify bugs and fix them well in time. For instance, enabling automation of the product and orders module allowed for the swift resolution of bugs. We take pride in our software delivery methods and with our seamless delivery, we were successful in resolving multiple data conflict issues on the database end. With our high-end security implementation, the application is available only in the US. For the integration of third party APIs, application data was exposed to the relevant APIs for related applications to be able consume the store-front data. At this moment, there are multiple sub-applications with their respective databases being supported by the core application. What initially started out as a proof-of-concept project has turned into a fully-functioning application being used by a ton of customers. The platform has witnessed over 30 customer integrations which translates to over a thousand active users.
