Challenge : A corporate training company heavily relies on an Excel macro for complex data processing and analysis, but it’s limited to a few users and lacks real-time collaboration depending upon access rights. They need a scalable solution accessible via the web.
Solution
- Requirement Analysis: Understand the existing Excel macro's functionality and user requirements. Identify key features, data sources, processing logic and user roles.
- Technology Selection: Choose C# as the programming language for building the web application. Select a suitable web framework, such as ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET Core.
- Data Modeling: Design a relational database schema to store the data previously managed in Excel. Identify data entities, relationships and required data transformations.
- UI/UX Design: Create a user-friendly web interface with responsive design for different devices. Plan the layout, navigation and visualization of data and results.
- Business Logic Implementation: Translate the Excel macro's logic into C# code to process data within the web application. Implement features like calculations, filtering and data manipulation.
- Real-time Collaboration: Integrate collaborative features to enable multiple users to work simultaneously.
- Data Import/Export: Implement data import and export mechanisms to handle Excel data, supporting various formats.
- Security and Authentication: Implement user authentication and authorization using technologies like ASP.NET Identity. Ensure data security and user privacy.
- Testing and Debugging: Perform thorough testing to identify and fix any issues in the application. Conduct user acceptance testing to ensure it meets the requirements.
- Deployment and Hosting: Deploy the application on a cloud platform like Heroku or AWS and configure the server environment and domain settings.
- User Training and Documentation: Provide user documentation and training to help users transition from the Excel macro to the web application.
- User Feedback and Iteration: Collect feedback from users and address any usability or performance concerns and continuously improve the application based on user input.
Technology
