Client Profile:
Microsoft is an internationally recognized software development firm. It is responsible for industry leading software such as Windows, Microsoft Office, and the .NET framework. Microsoft continues to be an innovator in enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) services through its Microsoft Dynamics line of products.

Project Opportunity:
The Microsoft Dynamics line does not currently have a centralized human resources application for time and attendance functionality. Microsoft would like the Raikes School Design Studio team to create a web based, self-service application that improves the user experience by streamlining the business processes.

Project Solution:
The Raikes School Design Studio team plans to use various Microsoft technologies to create a standalone application for time entry and attendance that makes the business process more efficient, can be adapted to meet the needs of a variety of businesses, and has an easy to use and appealing interface for employees and managers. The Raikes School Design Studio team's solution will be able to be integrated with other Microsoft products and will serve as a model for similar web based applications across the entire product line.

Technologies:

• Microsoft Visual Studio
• Microsoft Silverlight
• Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
• Microsoft SQL Server
