OMS (Operations Management Systems)
Since establishing the company in 1999 NDE has always operated using its own OMS (Operations Management System) to manage the day to the day services provided by the company. The first version of OMS was run on Access with rapid development in the technological capabilities of hard and software it was identified that the software needed to be moved to another platform to allow it to match NDE's pace in growth and development. The OMS is now programmed with Microsoft C# 2008, ASP.NET 2.0, MS SQL and .NET framework. With this new platform we have no limitations on the amount of data the software can handle or in how far we wish to continue to develop the software and the functions it provides.
