Distributed Object Programming

Challenge: Client has over 2,000 

Providing World Class IT Services

Technical and Management Experience

Specializing in Object-Oriented Software Design

 

business objects, developed using Smalltalk, C++ and Java. Data and information are compiled from a number of legacy projects which are not compatible, where interfaces to the data do not exist, and absence of object design guidelines resulted in proliferation of design schemas, redundant class definitions, and multiple instances of data objects describing the same business requirement.
.

Our Solution: Melange's personnel streamlined the object classes through creation of an object repository to check for performance consistency, object interface consistency, as well as traceability back to the business requirement. We also developed a set of guidelines to ensure the quality for the next generation of objects. The net result was the collapsing of over 2,000 objects into 50 object classes.

Complex System Integration

Challenge: Client has over 47 business systems developed using different languages, supported by different databases, running on HP-UX, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, and other mainframe computers. The client's order fulfillment is a multi-weeks process that is highly labor intensive and requires extensive paper trail.
.
Our Solution: Melange's personnel architected a multi-tiered client server system, using CORBA as the middleware, developed software user agents for each of the legacy systems, which together are able to request and retrieve information from each other through the software data bus.
.
Mobile Computing
Challenge: A banking client wanted to offer mobile banking services and customer-portfolio access over mobile devices such as wireless capable PDA and Internet-enabled PCS phones.
.

Our Solution: Melange's personnel designed and developed an ASP platform for this client, which supported a subscribe-notify scheme. This approach enables the banking client to broadcast non-sensitive information while the end user subscribes to only that information which is of interest to him/her. The ASP server also provided the necessary authentication and authorization to ensure secured access using the WAP protocol.
.
Health Care IT Consulting
Challenge: A health care service provider who relied on several vendor applications and multiple EDI connections needed help securing health information in electronic records during transfer to health plans and other health care providers.
.
Our Solution: Melange's personnel assisted the provider in documenting the current infrastructure and configurations.  Hardware and software recommendations were made that took advantage of existing system investments and still met compliance requirements.  Implementation and testing assistance completed the work to ensure electronic records' confidentiality was protected and HIPAA Privacy and Security rules were met.
