Microsoft .NET

What have we done?
How Do You Train 3,000 Employees? At their own pace? Simultaneously?
You utilize e-Learning. We are assisting our client in perfecting an e-Learning tool
for a major retailer. This is the engine that guides a learner through
the content specific for their needs. It assists trainers in assigning
requirements to learners and tracking their progress.
Biology mirrors life
We are currently working on a project designed for analysis of data
from a biological research lab. We have found this project to be
applicable to any information that has relationships. This project
is taking advantage of .NET technologies to quickly provide results
to our client. Simultaneously providing access to the information
through a Windows application and Web Browser. Allowing the lab
members to access the information as they need to.

Telecom and .NET
During the Beta Test phase of the new .NET technologies (October, 2002), we were
requested to analyze the feasibility of upgrading existing
applications for a large telecommunications firm. Upon reviewing the
projects, we found these broke down into a two categories: decision
support and automate tasks. Currently, their business was mainly
conducted through mainframe terminals, controlled by a third party.
Any processing or analysis of their business had to be done through
these limited systems, provided by someone else. There were projects
in progress to minimize their dependencies on this application. They
were also beginning to automate some tasks. Allowing a person to
enter some information, then press a key to process it through
multiple screens on the terminal.
Using .NET, we were able to quickly create a robust application that
outperformed their existing development efforts. We created
multi-threaded services that processed multiple streams of
information against the mainframe simultaneously, greatly increasing
their response time. After only a few months with the new platform,
management was convinced this was the correct path and began
implementing projects in .NET, scheduling production releases soon
after the Release To Manufacturing of Microsoft .NET in February
2002.
Law documents and the
Web
As an attorney, you are required to have the most recent version of
any form that you process through your local government. Keeping
current with these documents for your local courthouse requires some
effort. Maintaining clients from multiple states can be rather
daunting. We assisted a company in providing a repository of these
forms for legal offices. Creating a single storage location,
containing the appropriate version of the required documents,
available through a web application, answered the first need. These
documents had to be available to the law firms even if they were
disconnected from the Internet. We created a client application that
contained encrypted versions of the documents, automatically
synchronizing each document if a more recent version was available
from the Web. Many attorneys praised this company for the time and
effort this application saved them.
Why "Possiamo"?
As
you may have guessed from my name, Scilipoti, I have an Italian heritage.
Possiamo is Italian for "we are able" or "we can". One of the great
strengths of Agile is the emphasis on the Team. At Possiamo
Consulting, we work hard to ensure that everyone is working together to
create the best product. So... possiamo was a natural fit, emphasizing
our motto:
Together, we can.
