MicroFocus Software has successfully implemented solutions with a diverse clientele.
These organizations are involved in a range of businesses including: Process
Control, Pharmaceutical, Trucking, Scrape Metal, Outplacement, Manufacturing and
Entertainment industries.
Some representative PC software projects developed for clients include:
Developed high performance website in ASP.NET, ADO.NET, VB .NET and SQL Server using
Visual Studio 2003. These database-driven web sites perform shipment tracking,
submission of quote requests, and warehouse data reporting in Crystal Reports.
As a consultant, developed and implemented a warehouse and distribution database.
This included all phases of the system's life-cycle, including requirements analysis,
interface with users, design, development, implementation, maintenance and upgrades.
Based on Access 2000, and SQL Server 2000. The system involved the input and
processing of orders from clients, assembly plans, picking and packing scheduling,
load planning, and shipping. In the last spring launch for one of their clients,
the database allowed them to process over 28,000 shipments in 5 months, producing
123,000 kits using over 1 million piece parts. They had over 99.7% on time
delivery with no component shortages and were able to close over 95% of the orders
within 3 days of shipping.*
Developed a Microsoft Visual Basic application for the client to compute axle loads
for various combinations of its tractors, trailers, containers and chassis. This
graphical application ensures that the client won't exceed federally mandated maximum
loads for its trucking fleet.
Designed and implemented an Access database to process timecards from client branch
offices sites all over the country using Citrix thin client technology. Data imported
to both ADP and Solomon IV for Windows using Transaction Import. Saved the company
the cost to re-key all timecard data several times while increasing accuracy and
providing reports that management didn't have previously.*
Developed the Verbatim Coding and Editing (VEC) database in Microsoft Access. This
program is used to perform customer satisfaction surveys. VEC imports text files,
processes verbatims and assigns codes to the verbatims and generates reports on
the processed data. Company able to provide its clients reports that took days and
in some cases weeks to create previously.
Developed the Financial Managed Care Database Application, in Microsoft Access.
It tracks by client financial obligations as they relate to the clients managed
care programs. This database is very complex consisting of hundreds of tables, queries,
forms and reports plus many thousands of lines of code.*
Developed financial spreadsheet applications, in Excel using Visual Basic for Applications,
which is in use by more than 50 branch offices to prepare corporate budgets. Prepared
large feasibility study that provides client with a distributed enterprise-wide
computing solution using a national virtual private network WAN.*
Developed a Financial Forecaster application in Microsoft Excel consisting of about
four thousand lines of Excel Macros. The client used many routines written for this
project for other in-house projects.
A Microsoft Excel charting application was developed to graph multiple scenarios
of corporate financial data read from a text files.
* MicroFocus did requirements gathering, design, coding, testing, documentation
and deployment of applications as subcontractor to Signature Business Systems, a
Solomon VAR in Metuchen NJ.
