 SMS
was hired by NAPHSIS and the
Social Security Administration
to develop a nationwide Internet
system that is capable of
accepting birth and death
certification requests from
SSA field offices through
a central hub and then disseminating
the messages to their appropriate
state system. At the state
end, develop a portable component
that is capable of generating
queries against any state
vital records database. The
state-side software is written
in C++ and JSP to provide
portability across different
web server environments. The
system communicates using
a standard XML message format
that is triple DES encrypted
and sent through SSL to ensure
secure communications. The
hub software is written in
a combination of ASP, Javascript,
Visual Basic, and HTML. The
system is currently being
deployed and is scheduled
for piloting in eight states
prior to full-scale rollout
and implementation. SMS works
closely with SSA, NAPHSIS,
and personnel from all 50
states to ensure a timely
and successful integration.

SMS
developed the Serial Number
Tracking System (SNTS) for
Carrier Corporation. The SNTS
system is a real-time factory-floor
application that integrates
bar-coding technology and
message queuing. The system
maintains configuration information
relative to major component
part numbers, serial, and
warranty information. A key
aspect of this system is its’
SMS designed message queuing
ability which enabled the
system to continue operations
in the event of a network
or system component failure.
This system was developed
in Visual Basic, MS Access,
MS SQL Server. This unique
message queuing design enables
the application to continually
poll the server until it senses
the server is back on-line
to resumes normal operations.
The
SMS XPort system was built
for Eastman Kodak for use
in a joint venture with Sun
Polychrome Graphics. The business
need was to manage pricing
information related worldwide
export order process. The
large systems analysis and
design activity required SMS
to work closely with Eastman
Kodak personnel located at
different parts of the globe.
This system included: design
of interface requirements
to remote external systems;
the data conversion requirements;
pricing and accounting requirements;
reports; system security;
and integration of a system
within a worldwide technical
architecture. The graphical
user interface of the XPort
system was required to display
in 3 different languages.
Developing
the Gaylord One to One (GOTO)
system was a major undertaking
for SMS. This Enterprise Internet
application leveraged a number
of purchased packages along
with a large amount of custom
code to provide a robust marketing
tool. This system, highly
integrated with Oracle Applications
through their standard API,
provides all aspects of an
eCommerce solution. From web-based
ordering through to call center
support, bar-coding, product
pick, pack and ship the GOTO
solution (now the eBound product)
does it all. The GOTO system
has a built in sales configurator
and pricing engine.
