MICMA Legal implemented for Mentor Corporation
Client:
www.mentorcorp.com
Recently, we have successfully upgraded Mentor Corporation’s Legal
Department to use MICMA Legal. IT infrastructure of the company was
upgraded to use new SQL Server 2005 and all the workstations were being
upgraded to use new Microsoft Windows Vista. Old software was not
supported on Vista and Mentor decided to switch to web based MICMA
Legal solution as new platform for legal department. We have completed
the whole project from the estimation through setting up a test environment
and final conversion within 4 months. This was the fastest conversion we ever
had. We were able to complete such a quick conversion mainly due to very
professional and prompt cooperation with Mentor’s IT department.
Automated Battery Charger (ABC) Control Software designed for Lockheed Martin
Client:
www.lockheedmartin.com
In partnership with Input/Output Technology Inc. we have designed and implemented
“Smart” Automated Battery Charger System (ABC) for Lockheed Martin. We were
involved in the design, implementation, setup and acceptance testing processes.
Full set of technical documentation including UML hierarchy and sequence diagrams,
database diagrams describing the database schema and general software design document
reflecting all aspects of the system was created and provided by Margasoft. Special
simulation and testing software applications were created to enable component level
thorough tests of each separate module of ABC. Specific applications were created to
test data acquisition boards.
More about ABC System
The charging station including complete hardware and software was designed from scratch.
Margasoft was working on the software part of the system. The system was designed in a way
where centralized computer with ABC software controls and monitors 4 simultaneous charging
processes through 8 separate RS-232 channels (2 channels per charging station: one for
controlling charger and one for monitoring state of the battery) . Due to military requirements
and the nature of the problem the application was implemented as multithreaded embedded windows
application, where software was locking all the access to the windows operating system and
controlling windows startup and shutdown processes. Software contained the following features:
- Complete access rights management where every action in the system required authentication
and all the records and actions were logged against the logged in user;
- Complete reporting coverage of every charging action and state of the battery during the charge;
- Battery information export and import between disconnected charging stations;
- Hardware Calibration utilities;
- Power failure handling and recovery;
SQL Server Migration for Pacific IPA
Client:
www.pacificipa.net
In partnership with ATV Network Consulting we have completed several migration projects
for Pacific IPA upgrading their database systems with the data and application to new
server machines. The work was done diligently and the switch over was smooth and transparent
to whole organization. We have analyzed and reverse engineered all the data and legacy
applications on the server. We have created plan with specific milestones and test phases.
After the new servers were tested and verified we have completed the switch over during the
weekend and from next business week whole organization was functioning on new hardware with no issues.
