When Future Combat Systems needed to meet NISPOM compliance on machines that were already deployed our solution was designed, deployed and adopted as a scalable solution.

   When Winstar Communication's Network Construction and Deployment (NCD) needed a way to to publish thousands of floor plans, technical drawings, and a few inch thick SOP manual all on a website, our first system deployed in less than 30 days. The need to support data from several different sources like AutoCAD, MS Word, and Excel encouraged us to formulate and implement The Network File and Directory Naming Standard 1.0 (NFADS). This convention prescribed a way to consistently organize and label network information to facilitate its publication.

   At the time we were invited to help them, The Council of Better Business Bureaus ran websites for 157 individual Better Business Bureaus. The activity for all these sites was collapsed into a single file. Our timely and scalable approach allowed Council Administrators to understand how their website(s) were being used. This required an activity log format conversion process that changed proprietary format running under Open Market webservers.

   When Winstar Communication needed to combat "slamming" (slamming is changing someone's long distance carrier without their consent), Winstar's Systems Architecture Department and Staff Research Scientist considered a several hundred thousand dollar Oracle based document management approach. Our simple design and implementation used a specially contructed filter to read Excel spreadsheets that contained customer information. Since Excel spreadsheets were familiar, formal "training" wasn't necessary. The extracted spreadsheet data along with scans of the customer contracts were regularly uploaded and ready for search & retrieval on a daily basis. This used entirely free software, and didn't require the overhead of a traditional "database".
