Case Study
A financial institution had presented an ongoing problem with file transfer transactions failing to process, costing business segments a nominal amount of revenue in late charges. This Consultant conceived, designed and implemented an enterprise file transfer solution that consisted of clustered IIS/FTP services and web application. This solution provided the business segments file transfer redundancy and the ability to FTP on Demand. FTP on Demand is a custom web based application that provides business segment owners to execute file transfer transactions at a click of a button. This solution helped save the institution time and money.

Case Study
The client was required to replace their system for requesting and reporting test results on fuel samples. An offshore contractor had put together a SharePoint-like request workflow that was failing in many ways, resulting in severely degrading the testing process. This Consultant conducted an interview process/assessment with the team involved with the testing. After gathering, analyzing the data, and presenting it to the team, the recommendations were accepted. Implementation included analyzing existing workflow, redesigned digitized workflow and added new features to allow the fuel tests to be properly requested, performed and completed. This resulted in reducing fuel waste and lowering safety violations on the test site while increasing the quality of test results with process improvements that put in place due to the Consultant recommendations.

The teacher is on the front line. The technology is only a tool. The IT department must ensure that the technology is useful and reliable, and that teachers have adequate training or the teachers will not be successful with it.
