Application development methodology of the NET Genium platform
Xtreme Rapid Development (XRD) is a development methodology that forms an integral part of the NET Genium platform. It represents our own, long-term proven approach to the design, development, and gradual evolution of enterprise web applications.
The XRD methodology enables rapid creation of functional solutions for working with data, processes, and workflows, without sacrificing stability, architectural clarity, or control over future development. Speed is not the primary goal here, but a natural outcome of a systematic approach, repeatedly validated practices, and the stable technological foundation of the platform.
Long-term evolution instead of one-off projects
Applications developed using the XRD methodology are not one-off projects, but living systems that naturally evolve together with the organization. From the very first versions, they are designed with long-term operation, gradual functional expansion, and controlled change in mind — without the need for disruptive architectural interventions.
Thanks to the unified application model of the NET Genium platform, applications inherit key characteristics essential for long-term use from the outset – reliability and robustness, technological independence, and the ability to support flexible operation.
AI models as a natural part of the methodology
An integral part of the XRD methodology is the ability to systematically create AI models derived directly from the application model of the resulting systems. These models are not an additional layer, but a natural reflection of the system’s structure, data, and logic.
As a result, assistants with comprehensive knowledge of the entire application are created, available to both developers and users. They enable deep orientation within the system across its structure, processes, and functions, and support efficient day-to-day work with the application.
Application library and custom logic
The NET Genium platform includes an application library of ready-made applications and functional building blocks that cover common enterprise agendas and recurring functional areas. These components significantly shorten development time and reduce overall project costs.
At the same time, the XRD methodology assumes that every organization has its own specific processes, algorithms, and application logic. Both the platform and the NET Genium framework are designed to allow these individual requirements to be implemented naturally and safely, without compromising system stability or future evolution.
It is precisely the combination of ready-made solutions and targeted custom logic that represents one of the key added values of applications developed using the XRD methodology.
Development of new applications
The Xtreme Rapid Development methodology enables rapid creation of new applications starting from the very first functional versions. The core of development takes place in a graphical designer used to define data structures, forms, processes, and user interfaces.
For specific scenarios, integrations, or performance-critical parts of applications, the platform also allows extension using custom C# code via plugins. This approach provides full control over application behavior without compromising robustness, technological independence, or long-term sustainability.
The result is a balanced combination of development speed, precise control over functionality, and confidence that the application is prepared for long-term operation and further evolution.
Custom information systems and functional prototypes
The XRD methodology is suitable both for building simpler applications and for extensive custom information systems. It has also proven effective in the creation of functional prototypes, which in practice differ only minimally from final production solutions.
This approach makes it possible to validate applications quickly in real-world operation, gradually extend them, and adapt them to actual user needs. The result is robust enterprise applications designed for long-term use, controlled evolution, and stable operation across different deployment environments.
Application operation
The NET Genium framework enables flexible application operation according to customer needs. Applications can be operated on an organization’s own infrastructure, in private environments, or delivered as a professionally managed service, including cloud-based or hybrid models.
The platform is optimized even for less powerful servers and is not tied to a specific infrastructure vendor thanks to its technological independence.
For customers who prefer worry-free operation, we offer professional hosting provided in cooperation with a data center partner. The infrastructure is located in data centers within the Czech Republic, uses VMware virtualization technology, and is operated with high availability.
Operational services include:
- regular infrastructure maintenance and updates,
- automated backups,
- monitoring of operation and performance,
- a high level of security,
- professional technical support.
