Finance
Client
An investment bank in New York.
 
Challenge
Client's sales team meets company's existing and new clients on a regular basis. For those meetings, sales representatives want to take with them financial data in the form of Power Point presentations to show how this particular client is doing in terms of returns, asset diversification, etc.

In addition, client creates financial reports to their customers on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly, yearly). These reports need to be custom generated for each customer based on customer's financial portfolio. Multilanguage support and personal data encryption was expected along with the need for a secure and highly scalable system.

Client's sales representatives used to spend several hours putting together presentations for clients after manually pulling their customer's data from legacy systems.
 
Solution
After reviewing client's needs, we decided to build one system that provides two views of the financial data. The system was built in a very modular fashion allowing software components to be fit together as needed. For example, a set of modules provided final view to the data that are dynamically chosen based on whether a Power Point view or PDF report is needed. Our component based development also allowed us to present client data in multiple languages like English, German, etc.

We built this system on a J2EE platform using Java, J2EE, EJB, XML, XSLT, iText, Microsoft Power Point DLLs and Sybase.
 
Business Benefits
» A client review system that gathers client's financial data like asset allocation, positions, transactions, tax lots, etc. from legacy systems and creates Power Point presentations out of it.
» A reporting server that creates financial reports in PDF format and multiple languages for clients across the world.
» Highly dynamic, web based systems and can be web accessed by company's sales representatives to create, with the click of a few buttons, client presentations and reports containing client's financial data.
» Web based solution allowed them to create Power Point files on the fly saving them time and effort. Client's loved the fact that reports can be generated in multiple languages just by the click of a button. All these systems are accessible on the web allowing them to be accessed any where in the world after securing signing into the system.

Telecom
Case 1
 
The Client
A large telecom company located in Birmingham , Alabama.
 
Problem Statement
Client had an existing system that was built using Oracle forms and Oracle database. This system was inflexible to add new features and was almost impossible to manage.
 
Solution
We built a new system for them using J2EE technologies. A thin client model was chosen to make it easily available on the internet. Fat client features were partly emulated to give users a rich experience by using JavaScript. Agile methodology allowed us to give to our client a workable and fully tested system every month.
 
Business Benefits

Technologies that we used for this system included J2EE, JSP, Servlets, log4j, Weblogic 7.0, Tomcat, Extreme Programming, Winrunner, JUnit, HttpUnit, OptimizeIt, Struts, XML, and Oracle 9i.

 
 
Case 2:
 
Our Client
A telecom company located in Dallas, Texas.
 
Project Details
Helped this client developing a "position enabling" software system that allowed their clients (cell phone users) to pin point their position using GPS services. We also helped the client in tuning their system performance and effectively doubled their transactions per second.

Multiple technologies were used in this system including Weblogic, J2EE, Informix, JProbe, and OptimizeIt.
 
 
Airline
SouthWest Airlines
 
The Client
An airline company located in Dallas, Texas.
 
The Challenge
Client had an existing system that was built using C++. They wanted to rewrite it using J2EE technologies in order to obtain greater flexibility in manageability, maintainability, scalability, platform independence, etc.
 
The Solution
We helped them build a new system using J2EE technologies. We built them a highly modular system where in each module was specialized in performing functionalities like running business rules, presenting thick or thin client, persistence management, and so on.

Technologies used in this system include J2EE, EJB, WebSphere,  WSAD, JRules, JUnit, Clearcase, Clearquest, Rational Rose, JMS, MQ Series, Oracle, Zues.

Energy
Our Client
An Oil and Gas company located in Dallas, Texas.
 
Problem Statement
Client wanted a reservoir simulator to be built to simulate oil and gas flow in petroleum reservoirs. This would help them strategically develop a oil/gas reservoir in terms of optimizing well placement and field development.
 
Solution
Helped build a huge reservoir simulator for the client to simulate flow of oil and gas in petroluem reservoirs.

Technologies used in this system include J2EE, C++, Clearcase, Roquewave.
 
 
Hardware
Our Client
Best Bits, located in Dallas, Texas.
 
Problem Statement
Best Bits sells desktop personal computers online. They wanted a web based portal that allows their customers to custom configure desktop of their choice and place orders online.
 
Solution
We built them a system using J2EE technologies with a thin client at the front-end and stateless session EJBs in the business layer. A rules based engine is used to allow client change business rules easily.
