Client is a leading systems integration company and consulting firm that specializes in the
implementation of business applications including CRM, MDM, EAI, BI and SaaS.

This application dealt with project management with a major focus on collecting and storing
Employee-related data. The app dealt with management of users, groups and departments. It
gives the facility to create and assign tasks to employees. Employees in turn can fill in their
timesheets against the allocated tasks. Timesheet module being the complex part of the app, it
gave Employee the facility to add their own customized tasks and fill the time accordingly.

Employees managers have right to access the leave management section and track the
Employees leave verifying the records of already availed and pending leaves. Managers can
approve the leave(s) or reject them. Each module had a related Reports section which provided
a useful insight into monthly and yearly summary.

As the application encapsulated crucial data capturing employee/work management modules, it
had to have a strong logical checks and validations as to which user level gets access to what and
which user level has what part in module flow. This is controlled by using an admin-level
permissions module which allows access for managing module-level data to each user group.

Development Highlights


The design approach was centralized replacement for multiple web applications and supports
various combinations of enterprise website requirements. In order to access the database most
effectively in an object-oriented context an interface translating the object logic to the relational
logic was used to communicate with the relational databases in an object-oriented manner.
Triggers were used only for complex updation and deletion of data from multiple tables and were
entirely avoided with conditional syntax to ensure smooth performance of the application. The UI
part of SharePoint application was used as a web part and data was being called from their
respective code. The site was developed and fully functional within a span of 2 months.
