Help: Need to convince business to switch to .net

[IM1980]

Hi all,

 

We see many features available in .net that helps us code better than vb.

I gave the following reasons to my seniors and they are convinced to switch from a technical perspective. But our business team may ask us to quantify the same before approval. How do i do that . could you please help.........(please remember business department is completely different from technical team we do not personally know these people.)

Following were my points to convince technical team(i am excluding the briefs that followed the points)

1. Performance

2. Reliability

3. Object Oriented and Reusability

4. Simplicity

5. Error Handling

6. Powerful IDE

7. Future Support

8. Integration with Other Technologies

9. Integration with Xml

 

Now help me come up with points to convince business team about how the code benefits them.

I can think of the following.

 

1. This frequent hang ups of application will stop as .net works in managed environment and there will be no memory leak.

2. vb is not supported by microsoft........
