They were looking for application to manage surveys, dynamic survey question management and data processing to export survey results in power point solution.
Challenges
- It was difficult manage survey in manual excel files and was not easy to report summary information.
- Data received was not directly usable to prepare power point presentations or presentable charts.
- It was not easy to parse through results and get meaningful presentable data.
- Manual data processing and creating a power point presentation with survey results was error prone and time consuming.
Solution
Based on the requirements and specification, we decided to architect the application using following technology stack:
- Microsoft .Net framework
- Winform, C#, Entity Framework
- DevExpress Controls for winforms
- Slides for generating dynamic power point slides.
- PDF and Adobe InDesign API for generating PDF reports for survey analysis
- Microsoft SQL Server database
- Role based security implemented
- Module based development and loosely coupled architecture
Achievements
The developed solution was being used by client for their survey management and generating nice presentations in power point.
