payment', for which users can see all of their outstanding invoices in detail,

students will have to provide their ID, date of birth, application username
and password.

4.2. Payment by wire

This service allows students to make direct bank transfers via Bank
Transfer. In order to use the system, they must provide the ID and date of
birth of the person for whom you would like to pay.

Used technologies to implement the application

Programming language: C#, .Net
IDE: Visual Studio 2013 The 2013 version of the Visual Studio IDE included the
new Universal apps feature. This new feature provided a template for creating a
shared component and UI components to create cross-platform applications.
For multiple platform compatibility we will be using XAMARIN. Provides templates
for visual studio to create Android and iOS UI projects. Can be used as a stand-alone
application as well to create iOS and Android applications.
Data Base: Microsoft azure SQL database relational databse. Active georeplication, allows you to create up to 4 readable secondary databases in any Azure
region. Entity framework allows for easier VS integration
Server: WCF - .Net communication framework. WCF can use with any
communication protocol which makes it ideal for our application
