Applications

This page is to show some of the applications I've been involved in developing, installing, or supporting.

	Palo Alto Bimmer (Internal Company Site) Palo Alto Bimmer was referred to me because of their need to organize, manage, query, and add the extensive library of Service Bulletins put out by the BMW Corporation. This independent shop is using a custom web based application to access all service bulletins for BMW & Mini Cooper vehicles in their service center. They can quickly pull up all service bulletins for a specific group (i.e. Engine, Electrical Systems, etc.) for all model years. They can also add to the extensive listing though an online form and upload the supporting bulletin. Also included is a search function for both vehicle models to query by service bulletin number, date, series, subject, etc.
	Online Education System I was hired to research and recommend an online education system for internal employee training. Includes student enrolment, insructor led or off-line courses,
	Wysling.com This is a family site. The client was using a geonology program on a local pc but wanted to web enable it. There was not web interface to the product so I had to export all the family data and create a SQL database for it. Outlined the flow and drill-down procedures and made it happen. The end result was a database driven web site that was fed content and family data. Also included an admin interface to manage it.
	My Aplus A+ Insurance purchased the Plumtree Portal(now owned by BEA) for servicing their customers. Customers are presented with all their policy information, pay their bills, print insurance cards...etc. Installation, configuration, and administration is performed by me. Also I'm involved with previous and future upgrades of the product. It is load balanced using Cisco's Local Director utilizing a SQL server as the main database.
	Company Intranet This intranet was designed by me, but utilizing Ektron's CMS system. The previous version of the Intranet consisted of over 400 html files. The entire content was migrated to a SQL database driven CMS. Editing is done by 24 departments with approval process and rules.
	The Brain TheBrain is an easy-to-use system for organizing information. It enables you to link files, documents, and Web pages across applications and network boundaries. TheBrainillustrates how information is related, provides a visual context for documents and data, and offers a framework for collaboration.
	Classifieds System I was asked to design a section for employees to be able to post items for sale. Included are a pre-entry agreement screen that won't allow visitors past if they don't agree. Approval process flow, language filter, and moderator.
	Inventory Order System Set up an online order system for employees to re-order stock supplies. Includes built in catalogue, backorder notifications, status reports, and cost center summary.

But there's plenty more. If you have any questions, contact me.
