1. Northrup Grumman: Currently on a project
for the US Army relating to the development of a HR Management
Information System. This system is web-based and enables the
concerned superiors to access detailed information on the
army personnel. The files created are processed, verified
and loaded in an Oracle database. The system allows a user
to locate documents through a soft search capability and to
modify the status of documents once found. The user can profile
and synchronize the open and classified systems and manipulate
and print TIF images utilizing OLE objects. The system also
allows the user to QC the files and TIF images. The web applications
and enhancement uses WebSphere.
2. BroadMargin: Presently involved with
the enhancement of client’s product named BillTamer.
This product was originally written in Visual C++ and is now
being converted to Microsoft ASP .NET technology. SAI’s
personnel are also executing a project for EDI Analysis, mapping
and translation of customer data into the client’s Oracle
database.
3. Eli Lilly: SAI team successfully implemented
a new web site for Eli Lilly to extend the Lilly brand in
Prince William County Virginia. The SAI team continues to
support Eli Lilly and its web efforts as the facility in Prince
William County continues to grow.
4. Gina Chin Associates: SAI provides consulting
services in Office Automation to Gina Chin Associates. The
project involves upgrading and providing new hardware along
with installation of software. A functional and technical
analysis was performed prior to designing and developing the
front end of the supply management system, including Order
Management and Billing applications. Various sales and accounting
software packages were installed to enhance productivity in
Windows NT environment. The physical network was also upgraded
to incorporate additional workstations, along with the setting
up of a LAN.
5. Marriott Hotels: SAI is involved in two
projects here. The first is the One Yield project. This project
is about room rate forecasting, hotel inventory, and revenue
reporting. The project uses Unix and Java/EJB for the front-end;
MQSeries is the middleware, and COBOL/DB2/VSAM as the back-end.
The other project is the Centralized Travel
Agency Commission System (CTAC). The CTAC system is primarily
a mainframe-based application. The system also has web presence
in its application. The technology used is OS/390, COBOL II,
DB2, IMS and NetData.
6. Telecom Austria: This project was for
setting up and managing the Telecom Austria Billing System
and was executed at Vienna, Austria. The project entailed
message processing and billing as well as Customer service
for Telecom Austri
7. MCI: Executed a number of projects for MCI. Notable among
them are – Friends and Family.
This was a very popular and successful marketing and customer
discount program. MCI was betting heavily that this program
and placed a great deal of importance on this program.
SAI played a major role from the early
stages in this program, and was involved throughout all phases
of the life cycle. SAI helped build the telecommunication
interfaces between local telephone companies and MCI. These
interfaces included National LEC Interface System (NLIS),
National Error Processing System (NEPS), and National Lead
Generation System (NLGS). They were built across different
platforms such as VAX, WAN and IBM Mainframes to collect data
from various telemarketers around the country. This system
was based on DB2, CICS, TELON, ADABAS, VSAM
• Calling Area Data Base (CADB)
CADB was a reference database that captured
information on telephone exchanges in North America. It retrieved
and stored vast amounts of information on MCI switch information
and city-by-city tariffs. It provided many points of references
to enable most of MCI’s customer oriented systems provide
Customer Service. This was primarily a DB2, CICS, VSAM and
ADABAS/Natural system.
• On-line
Customer Information System / New Order Processing System
(OCIS) / (NOPS)
Both were Customer Service oriented systems, OCIS an online
system and NOPS was a batch system used to process orders
and service customers. These systems interfaced with the Network,
Commissions, Billing and all the National systems of MCI,
processing orders and sending the information based on the
orders to the various switches in the network. This information
was then used by the computers to determine who a customer
calls, where the call was going, duration of the conversation,
any special discounts, etc. This was also a DB2, CICS, COBOL,
ADABAS, ADASQL system.
8. Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of the National Capital Area
Project: Federal Employee Program (FEP) Enrollment System
The FEP System is a very large online transaction system.
Approximately 1.2 million transactions occur each day in this
system. One of the original goals or commitments given was
that the FEP System reach and maintain a certain level of
response time while conducting these 1.2 million transactions
each and every day. 2/10 of a second was the goal the Director
was looking for and the system was at 8/10/sec. when SAI took
over the project. SAI was able to tune the system to 1/10/sec.
This was a maintenance
contract for SAI. The main goals of the effort were Performance
Tuning, System Enhancements and Problem Resolution. Blue Cross
and Blue Shield of the National Capital Area was extremely
satisfied with our work in all three areas.
9. Cable and Wireless, Inc.
