The Internet is an essential business tool due to its ability to distribute critical information to those who need it most -- customers, business partners, suppliers. It impacts your business in profound and exciting new ways:
* Customer Retention -- Today, both consumer consumers and business customers expect to be able to learn about and purchase your products over the Internet.
* Product and Service Differentiation -- The Internet can help companies find ways to make their products stand out.
* Time-to-Market -- In a Web-based world, new applications need to be developed and deployed within incredibly short time frames to respond to competitive threats and serve customers more efficiently.
* Maintaining Distributed Applications -- Installing and maintaining software for a large, distributed, and mobile work force can be expensive in terms of the total cost of ownership. Internet-based solutions can eliminate much of this cost.
Driven by these business imperatives, exciting new types of Web-based applications are emerging:
* Customer Self-Service -- Helping customers help themselves increases customer satisfaction and reduces the costs of call centers and support personnel.
* e-Business -- Efficiently managing communications and transactions among all entities slashes transaction costs, reduces inventory costs, and improves profitability.

Property management companies have office space and rental structures that need constant supervision. Communications companies seek to maximize their facilities to reach the greatest number of customers. Any situation that requires effectively managed critical assets and resources is an opportunity for GIS technology.
* Decision-Making. Increasing communications across your organization. Collecting information in a central database that can be used by various departments - from logistics to scheduling to transportation. With GIS, a picture is worth more than 1,000 words.
GIS technology is complex, and the development of effective GIS solutions requires skilled professionals dedicated to their field.

Technology
Nothing changes like change. Change and technology have today become synonymous. We, at Kaligotla have always been at sync with change. Our dedicated team of software professionals understands technology the way it is meant to be. Technology is the way we prosper and technology is what is going to take us to the pinnacle of Software Development.
Our focuses at the moment are on following technologies:
1. Internet, E-Commerce and Web Development Technologies.
2. Client/Server Technologies.
3. Streaming Audio/Video and Multimedia Presentations.
4. D-Com Technologies.
Internet Technologies
There are two prime parallel Internet technologies in the world today. Microsoft technology (IIS and ASP) being one and Sun's Java Technology being the other. Most of the new web applications in the world today are embracing either of the technologies. The decision involves system requirements, business rules, data volume etc.
We have been using both these technologies for different projects.
Microsoft Technology
We have extensive expertise in ASP, IIS, SQL Server, MTS, COM, and DCOM. We have hosted one of our most ambitious portals for e-commerce. All these technologies have been extensively for this purpose.
Java
We have extensive expertise in JSP, Servlets, Java Beans, EJB, Java Web Server, Web Sphere, Weblogic with Oracle as the backend on Linux or NT. We are working with JetSpeed, which is an open source Java package to develop e-commerce solutions.
E-Commerce
Online Catalogs, Shopping Cart, Database Development, Forum/Chat, System Evaluation Payment System Selection/Implementation, Security Consultation, Technical Support and Maintenance.
Web Development
Information Architecture, Database Design/Integration, Commerce Applications, Data Management Systems, Customized Applications, Security and Firewall Application, Client Server Services, Statistical Reporting, Maintenance, Graphic Design, Content Development.
Client/Server Technology
Typically, in a client/server environment there are a group of computers connected with a network to a database server. The database server has one relational database and the clients have applications written in different softwares connecting them to the database server, allowing them to operate on the data depending on their user permissions. When one develops an application on Client/Server environment one has to bear in mind that the system performance must not go down with the increased number of users. There may be users working on different platform, different software clients, however connected with the same access to the database. The software can be broken down over and spanned across different machines with their access privileges and functionalities.
We have in the past taken up projects in Client/Server environments and have proved that we are capable of carrying them out efficiently within tight deadlines.
Streaming Audio/Video and Multimedia Presentations
Streaming technology, also known as streaming media, lets a user view and hear digitized content - video, sound and animation as it is being downloaded. Streamed sound and images usually appear via a World Wide Web browser plug-in within seconds of a user's click..
We have mastered the art of streaming media. This coupled with our expertise in Multimedia softwares like Flash, Director, Adobe Photoshop enables us to create powerful and interactive web pages.
D-COM Technology
Distributed and component based business modeling is the call of the day today. Irrespective of whether we are using Java or ASP, we have focussed strongly on distributed computing and object modeling. Component Transaction Monitoring (CTM), connection pooling, resource planning are given strong emphasis as these factors become critical as you go out to do serious business on the web. Performance, scalability, security are the factors you want your system to be conversant with. In addition we use base technologies like DHTML, XML, JavaScript, VBScript and mailing protocols like POP3 and SMTP. We have also ventured into the area of e-mail. Our business portal has one it's first implementations.
