VB Enterprise 4.0 software applications are developed on the Microsoft MVC 3.0 and Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 platforms and are hosted in central and secure Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 database. Customer requirements dictate which applications are deployed and role-based administration determines which functionality is exposed to individual users. Individual function and user configurability enables customized deployment across the enterprise or for specific products, geographies, operations or business units. Configuration to customer processes is achieved through modifying or adding work flows designed to address any and all customer operating models. Extensive business rules provide further configurability to all applications inside VB Enterprise 4.0.
