About the Project
Unity Technology Solutions are our technology partner for software development. We worked with Unity to develop their OCP platform. This allows Office 365 users to manage their on premise applications across the web.
We used exciting new technologies such as Microsoft Azure, Azure Service Bus, Office 365 API, the Azure API & Single Sign On. We developed this platform using C# .Net MVC, SQL Azure Databases and it was hosted entirely on Microsoft Azure.
We were responsible for the platform design and full-stack development.
The Challenge
Unity Technology Solutions are one of Ireland’s largest Microsoft Technology partners. Unity wanted to deliver a portal solution to their customers where they can login and view and manage their O365 applications and data via a web portal.
The main issue that Unity have is that they are not a software development house. Unity contacted ELS via the Microsoft partner Network as they were looking for a reliable partner.
The Solution
Engine Lab Software are a software and mobile app development company, we were well positioned to advise Unity on the technologies available. We worked closely with Unity’s head of technology to architect a solution which used the most up to date Microsoft O365 APIs. We worked closely with the Microsoft team to gain early access to the latest APIs to develop this portal.
ELS worked closely with Unity to understand their business and how the portal would help their customers. This required extensive consultation with Unity.
We agreed on a solution where Engine Lab Software would develop the Unity OCP Platform, using the latest Microsoft technologies available. We worked with Rob Allen to devise a platform and architecture which was both scalable and future-proofed.
The Technologies
We worked closely with Unity and Microsoft to develop this platform using the latest Microsoft O365 APIs. We developed the core platform using .Net and hosted on MS Azure. All front end development was done using Angular and CSS.
The Result
Unity Were able to better understand their customer as a result of the consultation process carried out. We delivered a highly scalable product with fantastic UX. We worked well with Unity’s technology team and were able to understand their business and develop a product that suited their customers.
