3Com (Call Technologies, Inc.) Commercial

Development, Project Management, Technical Team Leadership, Mentoring
Sybase EAServer
Enterprise Architecture
Custom Applications Development
Call Technologies first looked to AEGIS to provide training and mentoring while migrating their client-server applications to a distributed, enterprise-class application server solution. As their migration effort began Call Technologies realized that they needed more than just mentoring to successfully migrate and deploy their application. AEGIS provided technical and project management leadership during the migration and development of Call Profiler. Call Profiler facilitates real-time servicing of telephone customer orders by providing on-line entry, rule validation, and switch provisioning. Subsequent to AEGIS' engagement with Call Technologies, they were acquired by the 3Com Corporation.

Load & Stress Testing
As-One is a web-based project management solution that helps organizations achieve SEI CMM Level 3 compliance by coordinating the documentation of their processes, project artifacts, and metrics. Since As-One's inception, AEGIS has been a key partner. Our role with As-One (now a property of CNSI, Inc.) has included training and mentoring of the development team on J2EE and product specific concepts, architectural and development support, post-sales technical support of their client base, and support of the hosting of their click-wrapped service offering. The As-One application has also been evaluated by the AEGIS Test Center with load and performance testing prior to production release. The testing helped ensure that their customers would receive comfortable performance from Day One. AEGIS' technical support of the As-One team allowed them to focus their energy on selling to their customers instead of being tied up with technical challenges.

eOriginal Commercial

Architecture, Development, Mentoring
J2EE, WebLogic, Sybase EAServer, Rational Suite
Enterprise Architecture
High End Analysis & Design
Custom Applications Development
eOriginal is the leading provider of a comprehensive business-to-business e-commerce solution that enables enterprises to execute secure, online business transactions in which legally enforceable electronic documents completely replace paper source records of a deal. It offers a complete, comprehensive, and integrated solution capable of creating Electronic OriginalsTM that are legally accepted as negotiable.

AEGIS helped design and develop a key portion of this state-of-the-art J2EE distributed architecture to support the eOriginal electronic document processing. AEGIS' extensive expertise in designing J2EE solutions resulted in a solution that enabled the eOriginal business components to be easily ported between different application servers on different platforms.

This project used the Rational toolset to manage the software engineering process. The system design was modeled using the Unified Modeling Language and captured within Rational Rose. The Rational ClearCase tool was used to control source code access and versioning and the Rational ClearQuest tool was used for defect tracking.

Facilibot Commercial

Architecture, Systems Analysis, Development, Database Design
Java, SilverStream, Palm Pilot
Enterprise Architecture
Custom Applications Development
AEGIS designed and developed the Facilibot distributed web application. Facilibot is a web application designed to provide facility energy analysis services over the Internet. It interfaces with a government developed facility analysis engine to offer as much as 90% savings off the soft costs associated with current, manually-intensive methods of energy analysis. AEGIS developed a framework to present context specific objects, designed batch process logic to interface with the analysis engine, and created the database schema. AEGIS also developed a demo application that runs on a wireless Palm Pilot device that shows how a user can easily access important facility information from a mobile device.

Giant Food, Inc. Commercial

Architecture, Systems Analysis, Development, Project Management, Mentoring
PowerBuilder, Informix, Java, I-4GL, GPS, Mobile Computing
Enterprise Architecture
High End Analysis & Design
Custom Applications Development
Giant Food is the top supermarket chain in the Mid-Atlantic states. It competes in a mature industry characterized by fierce price pressures, high labor costs, and low profit margins. A key success factor in the grocery industry is the control of costs through the efficient use of resources and that's why Giant employed AEGIS personnel to design and develop the Transportation Management System (TMS).

TMS enables Giant to monitor every step of the distribution process from warehouse loading through delivery to the stores. TMS incorporates mobile computing intelligence and wireless networks to provide dispatchers with 'total fleet visibility' in real-time. It enables dispatchers to make optimal routing decisions, it streamlines driver work processes, and it minimizes store delivery delays. All of this leads to a decrease in the overall cost of delivering goods to the stores.

AEGIS personnel served a variety of roles throughout the life-cycle of TMS. AEGIS personnel helped form the initial system concept, gathered and documented the system requirements, designed and documented the technical architecture, developed the system, and provided training and on-going support. TMS has enabled Giant to streamline its distribution process and has brought industry recognition to Giant. TMS was showcased as the cover story of a leading supermarket industry magazine, Supermarket Business.

Tempest Re Commercial

PowerBuilder
Enterprise Architecture
High End Analysis & Design
Custom Applications Development
AEGIS was contracted by Tempest Re, a re-insurance company based in Bermuda to manage the design, development and deployment of the Re-Insurance Portfolio Management application. The application provides comparison data for multiple business scenarios/simulations. Underwriting information is queried to compute various risk scenarios on potential profit and/or losses within each scenario. The application performs these queries via the PowerBuilder front-end with Embedded SQL and DataWindow definitions to remain as DBMS independent as possible.

The project was managed and staffed by three AEGIS consultants. The AEGIS Project Manager was responsible for managing the Tempest Re development staff. The project began with two weeks of requirements meetings at client site. Development spanned 10 months. Work was managed and completed at the AEGIS development center with two code and deliverable review meetings during the development period. The application was delivered on-schedule and within budget.
