Microsoft Embraces eCollections Model with Latest Development Tools

Microsoft is changing the face of development with its .NET development platform. With this new technology, set for release in February, Microsoft is embracing the basic design of eCollections*, a debt collection management system that has been available to the collection industry for over a year. eCollections*, like .NET applications, uses a browser-less design to manage information from a central location via HTTP. Like software built with .NET, eCollections has the capability to automatically download, install, and upgrade dynamically-and has all of the advantages and power of a standalone, custom-built Windows application.

Tim Cain, Executive Vice President at Sentinel Development Solutions, has believed in this strategy for over 3 years. “We were quite a bit ahead of the curve”, says Cain. “Because we foresaw these developments, we’re able to offer collection businesses a leading-edge solution that is very flexible and powerful.”

Sentinel Development Solutions sells two versions of their collection system, eCollections* and eCollectionsASP*. eCollections* is the stand-alone, client/server version that can be easily set up to manage distributed businesses like branch offices, international operations, or home-based collection workers. eCollectionsASP* is a hosted application service leased for a monthly fee and accessed via the Internet.
