First ever production quality WPF application…Maybe?

How do you present the Microsoft Dynamics customer model which consists of a complex set of departments, roles and responsibilities? WPF of course!

IdentityMine had the privilege of working on several Proof of Concept (POC) applications for Microsoft including CaseBuilder (Codename for PDC 2003 demo), Patient Monitoring, Accruent, DinnerNow and the list goes on. This experience gave us the opportunity to work with the Dynamics team to build a WPF production application that was screaming for rich visualizations and powerful relationship views. Is this the first production quality WPF application every created? I’m not sure but it might be. Regardless, it’s likely the first with rich editing and keyboard navigation features used in production by data entry personnel. Hmm…A static shot doesn’t do it justice:



Sure Step Business Modeler (aka DVA) was built initially for Microsoft internal development team so they could better understand the customer model and therefore create even better software. Next steps are to help Microsoft partners in a similar way.

Numerous individuals had their fingers in this application. Our Kochi India team really stepped up to help provide some of the editing functionality. Thanks Franklin Jose and Vijay Narayan for your help on editing. Jobi Joy performed some much needed research around keyboard navigation and Liby Simanthy followed with a top notch QA effort. Job well done!

The team agrees that Jonathan Russ should take some serious credit for the end result. The entire team consisted of: Developer and Team Lead: Jonathan Russ – Developers: Franklin Jose, Vijay Narayan, Jobi Joy – Interactive Designer: Nathan Dunlap – Designers: Dale Jones, Jimmy Jones – DB Architect: David Kelley – QA: Liby Simanthy
