These are a few of the projects we have completed:

Blood Donation System: The Blood Donation System is used to establish donation sites and appointment schedules, solicit employee blood donations, schedule appointments and record donations. Reporting allows for solicitation responsibility to be delegated through the organization. A module permits the incorporation of donation information recorded by the Greater New York Blood Program for donations occurring at non-corporate sites. The system was originally programmed in Henco Info on a Prime minicomputer, ported to a DEC minicomputer, rewritten for Microsoft FoxPro for Windows running on Windows workstations and upgraded to Microsoft Visual FoxPro on NT Workstation with shared data on a Novel 4.0 server.

Quarter Century Club: The Blood Quarter Century Club System is used to manage entrance and participation in an organization that an employee is eligible to join after twenty-five years of service. The system permits for the selection of recognition gifts for participants, the inventory of gifts and an interface to perform inter-departmental charging for the gifts. The system was originally programmed in Henco Info on a Prime minicomputer, ported to a DEC minicomputer, rewritten for Microsoft FoxPro for Windows running on Windows workstations and upgraded to Microsoft Visual FoxPro on NT Workstation with shared data on a Novel 4.0 server.

United Way Contribution System: The United Way Contribution System is used to manage an annual drive to encourage employees to make charitable contributions. Reporting allows for solicitation responsibility to be delegated through the organization. The system was originally programmed in Henco Info on a Prime minicomputer, ported to a DEC minicomputer, rewritten for Microsoft FoxPro for Windows running on Windows workstations and upgraded to Microsoft Visual FoxPro on NT Workstation with shared data on a Novel 4.0 server.
Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) System: A New Jersey state-approved proprietary software project developed in Visual Basic. PSE&G power plants throughout the state use the system to produce EPA-mandated reports. Other chemical and utility companies use the system as well.

Project Economic Evaluation Model (PEEM): PEEM is used to do economic evaluation of a capital projects. The system uses standard corporate values and calculation methods to provide an objective and equal analysis of all projects. The system is designed to be easily used by project designers so the impact of design alternatives can be considered prior to making a funding recommendation. Standard reports verify all calculations and proved management with a standard set of evaluation parameters as well as full documentation for capital decision making. The system is used by PSE&G as well as by several other organizations in configurations tailored to their needs.

Budget Entry and Reporting System: We designed and implemented a two-tier Access system to handle the data processing and reporting for the Stamford Board of Education budget, which currently totals more than $150,000,000. It was important to maintain the format of the existing reports, copies of which are distributed each year. We streamlined the process, added easy accessibility to data, reduced the menu to just a few selections, and added capabilities for separately recording and tracking money from grants. After an initial installation and brief training session, updates and questions are now handled remotely from our office in central New Jersey.

Faculty and Staff Attendance System: During the 1980's, we had developed a mainframe system to track attendance, vacations and sick-time for faculty and staff. The planned decommission of the mainframe required a system be developed for another platform.The solution was a PC-based, two-tier Access system, which we rapidly developed and deployed. Data is resident on a network, while the software is installed on each user's PC. This architecture allows for rapid software response and access to shared data.

Summer School and Bilingual Student Systems: The Board of Education needed systems to track students in the Summer School program, as well as bilingual and English as a Second Language (ESL) students during the school year. Summer school students had to be selected based on test criteria, and letters sent and followed up.

Since the Summer School and Bilingual programs were independent, with different staff and data storage requirements, two separate systems were built, tailored to the needs of the respective users. The Summer School system assigned students to classrooms, based on such criteria as sex and race, to make each class as diverse as possible. It also kept track of attendance and test scores and produced statistical reports at the end of the session.

The Bilingual system identified Bilingual and ESL students and gathered metrics, including test scores and classes attended, from several external files. The end product is Connecticut's ED-230 report.
Divorce Settlement Assistant (DSA): This software product assists lawyers and judges in resolving conflicts over alimony, property settlement and child support in family law matters. It quickly and clearly shows the estimated tax consequences of various payment schedules on the net income of both parties and includes current tax tables for all 50 states, New York City and Washington, D.C. The product is written in Visual Basic.

Consumer Panelist Database: Personal care products, such a deodorants and depilatories, undergo extensive consumer testing before a final formulation is released. Church & Dwight develops several new formulations a month and tests each multiple times on panels consisting of 12 to 50 participants.They maintain a list of potential test subjects (panelists), along with detailed information on each, such as age, use of personal products, pets in household, etc. When a test panel is put together the best panelists for the product are selected based on these criteria.

Prior to the development of our software, Church & Dwight kept track of tests and panelists using pencil and paper and an Excel spreadsheet that was slow and unwieldy. We developed an Access database that greatly simplified this task. Additionally, our system computes and prints the checks that the panelists are given as payment for their services. 
Grants Administration and Tracking System (GATS): GATS is used to track the grants process of organizations that provide funding based on both a need and worthiness evaluation basis. It was designed for use by New Jersey State Council on the Arts after they had determined that their data requirements exceeded the systems currently available. The system is written in Visual FoxPro, comprised of seven modules, and runs on Windows Workstations and either a Novell or NT Server.
Coffee News is a weekly publications delivered to restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and anywhere people go to have a bite to eat. Coffee News has the week's funniest and most unusual news stories, jokes, trivia, amazing facts, and more.

Our custom database for Coffee News keeps track of issues and advertisers and provides information on the types of businesses in each issue, as well as costs and revenue. Each advertiser's contract is immediately available for review, and we created reports for determining scheduling and placement.

VisualEnzymics: A product offered by SoftZymics for statistical analysis and documentation of enzyme kinetics data. The software was developed to meet the needs of professionals and students in the academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries.

The system is written to run within the IGOR Pro environment offered by WaveMetrics, Inc.
This design project centered on determining the database structures needed to meet the client service and tracking needs of the state of New Jersey's largest department. Project challenges included determining the relationship of business processes that were performed at isolated locations throughout the state, using incompatible systems and inconsistent terminology. The design was targeted toward an Oracle implementation with client/server access form all department sites and offices.
