Hataekni Product Web and Web shop
Create web services for the Hataekni new end-user and enterprise customer websites. The goal of the web services is to unify the access of product information from the Hataekni Dynamics NAV ERP system. The product information contains multiple titles, descriptions, logos, images and documents, all of which need to be provided to the end-users browser as fast as possible.

Technicalities
The NETConductor was used to provide access to Dynamics NAV and the NETAuthenticator supplied the role-based segregation of products. Custom web services, including an advanced cache, were created to minimize the loading time of the website. In addition, the custom web services are bypassed as needed when, for example, orders get created in Dynamics NAV.
