I need help bringing our in-house database management system—currently powered by Microsoft SQL Server—to the iPad. The goal is a seamless, touch-friendly version that preserves every existing workflow while taking advantage of iPadOS capabilities. Your task • Review the present SQL Server schema, stored procedures, and any helper scripts. • Design and build an iPad solution that connects securely to the same data set, whether through a native Swift/Objective-C app, a .NET-based wrapper (e.g., Xamarin or .NET MAUI), or a well-optimized web front end—whichever you can justify as the most stable and maintainable. • Implement offline caching for spotty connections and ensure real-time sync when the device comes back online. • Handle authentication/authorization identically to the desktop version so user roles carry over without rewriting our security model. • Deliver clear deployment instructions plus concise user documentation so our staff can install the app from TestFlight and get straight to work. Acceptance criteria – All existing screens and data operations load and function on an iPad without layout glitches. – Core SQL logic remains server-side; no business rules duplicated in the client. – Round-trip times for the three most data-heavy queries stay within 10 % of current desktop performance on a stable Wi-Fi connection. – The final build passes a walkthrough with our team using a provided test script. If you have proven experience bridging Microsoft SQL Server back ends to iPad front ends, let’s get started.
