Being a leading provider of a wide range of

proprietary technologies, learning tools, and

educational experiences to global brands since

1989, ISAIX Technologies realized that their

legacy Bust Server Tool (BST) needs a complete

makeover to meet evolving customer needs and

rapid technological advances.

ISAIX wanted to upgrade the technology behind

BST Tool and rebuild the tool from scratch, so

that thefront end solution is compatible with

multiple devices,thus increasing accessibility

and usability of the tool.

Finding a right outsourcing partner was a big

challenge as this was the first project ISAIX had

ever outsourced. There were concerns like

effective communication, reliability, and quality

of the engagement.

THE PROBLEM THE CHALLENGECross platform-device compatibility

One of the key challenges of the project was to make

Burst app compatible with multiple operating systems

and platforms such as Apple ios, Android, BlackBerry

OS, Windows Mobile, and Windows and Apple desktop

operating systems.

Migration to HTML5

The existing frontend solution was based on Flash,

but to make the app multi-device compatible, it

needed to be migrated to HTML5. The migration

proved to be very challenging as ISAIX wanted similar

Flash-based features in the new HTML5-based app.

SCORM compliance

The application was SCORM compliant and

multilingual functionality was implemented so as to

reach a wider audience.

New media capabilities

To live up to the ever-changing technology

requirements of corporate learning community, ISAIX

wanted an app with new media capabilities, including

multimedia features, and multiple content

highlighting.

THE SOLUTION

“THE RESULTCross Platform Cross Device Experience

The new HTML5-based Burst app displayed various

content modules consistently across multiple screens

Laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones which

improved the app’s accessibility and receptiveness.

Project Quality

With the way our team handled the project, the

communication, and the final solution delivery, we were

able to win ISAIX’s confidence in our expertise related

toobile solutions development. The long term

association between ISAIX and Net Solutions is the

testimony to our commitment to quality.

Cost Effectiveness

ISAIX was able to reduce the time-to-market of Burst

app through our fixed price engagement model and

AGILE development methodology, which eventually

resulted in significant cost savings for ISAIX.

Technology

While developing the Burst app from ground up, a

perfect mix of HTML5, .NET, SQL Server,jQuery,

Ajax, and JavaScript technologies was used to

create a robust and highly compatible solution.

Testing the inevitable

To determine applicability of the Burst app, we

decided to develop a POC (Proof of Concept) to test

the most challenging features – like

implementation of zoom-in/zoom-out, text

highlight etc. using HTML 5.

Agile Development Methodology

Once the POC was successful , AGILE development

methodology was used to complete the entire

project in three phases.

Use of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs)

To meet performance requirements of Burst app,

the implementation of the website’s backend

solution was done using Microsoft Silverlight,

which made the app run faster and display content

accurately on the web.

ISAIX was able to reduce the time-to-market of

Burst app through our fixed price engagement model.
