LLBLGen Pro Solutions

One of the biggest challenges in application development is data access.

• Is a high percentage of your development time spent writing code that “talks” to databases?
• Is your application’s business logic scattered across multiple tiers of the application?
• Do your applications lack the scalability that your business requires?
• Is a large percentage of your development lifecycle spent on maintenance?

Without the proper tools, identifying and solving data access issues can take up a large percentage of the development lifecycle, adding costs to the project and consuming resources.

Less development time. Lower costs.

LLBLGen Pro is an object relational mapping framework developed by Netherlands-based Solutions Design that can help make development efforts more efficient.

West Monroe Partners has successfully developed many custom applications using LLBLGen Pro—taking advantage of some of its key features and benefits along the way:

• Minimizing the use of stored procedures to keep system database “agnostic,” enabling an easy switch from one platform to another
• Code generation and compile-time checking of model changes that eases maintenance:
  • Faster design and implementation of enhancements
  • Easier to support with a smaller staff
• Cleaner code:
• Forces a different way of thinking about data access
• Encourages simplicity of design (putting all business logic in one place)
• Allows developers to reap the benefits of object-oriented development when writing data access code
• Little (or no) SQL to write, allowing the development team to maintain a .Net-focused skill set and requiring less dependency on database developers/administrators
• Faster ramp-up time—developers can begin writing code against the database literally minutes after the data model is completed

Substantial experience with LLBLGen Pro.

If you are developing a custom application that accesses information from a database, West Monroe Partners can help minimize development time and cost. We will work with you to establish a centralized set of business rules in a single layer of your application, using LLBL-generated custom types that directly reflect your data model.

West Monroe Partner offers:

• Deep experience architecting complex systems to harness the LLBLGen Pro framework
• More than 20 developers with LLBLGen Pro experience
• An intimate understanding of data modeling best practices, including techniques for avoiding common design issues that can hinder development
• Many successful projects completed using LLBLGen Pro,  including utilizing the framework to architect  new applications from the ground up, as well as adding new data access capabilities to existing/legacy applications
