Adaptability is key here. Because .NET is language-neutral and platform-agnostic – terms that means it can work with a variety of coding languages on different platforms – a number of other operating systems can use it and it can run both older and newer software. Companies such as CoreLabs have been able to switch from Java to .NET in order to develop security research projects and create apps more quickly, while the US insurance company Geico used the framework to develop GloveBox, an Android app that lets customers get quotes, pay their bill and view insurance cards.[Tweet "#Geico used the #.NET Framework to develop #GloveBox, an #Android app"]
Given the widespread use of Windows OS by businesses, software developers are generally very familiar with C#, the programming language of .NET and Windows OS XP and later versions. When it comes to adaptation, development and problem-solving, .NET facilitates faster upgrades and Agile releases, and it can be supported both by Microsoft and software developers alike. There are no niche languages to be grappled with here; everything is designed to be compatible and optimised for open source development. For this reason many businesses are choosing to migrate from old business solutions such as Drupal and Wordpress to .NET.[Tweet "#.NET facilitates faster upgrades and #Agile releases."]
