Grouped by industry, the following listing presents some of the recent projects.

Banking and Insurance

Customer: Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Austria

Technical design and implementation of a clearing-service for national payments (STEP.AT) based on the statue law of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). The STEP.AT platform offers the possibility of same day settlements and covers all the usual formats used in Austria for monetary transactions (EDIFACT FINPAY/ATIBxS and SWIFT MT103/MT103+). The SEPA credit transfer XML format has been introduced 2008.

The product offers ADABAS/BS2000 based clearing and settlements components, Java/UNIX based format conversion utilities as well as Java powered Tools for operational management (Java Swing/Windows) in addition to monitoring component (Java/Web).

  • Software design analysis, support during conception phase (Java components)
  • Implementation of the Java based components and services
  • Design and implementation of an high-performance and flexible multi-format/single-pass format converter

Customer: Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Austria

Technical planning and implementation of an clearing service for in- and outgoing European Economic Area (EEA) payments within the EBA STEP2 systems, in particular the introduction of the SEPA Credit Transfer XML format.

The project was implemented on top of the infrastructure set up as part of the STEP.AT project and replaced parts of the previous system which was in use since 2003. Further integration work was done with the scope of setting up a standardized system.

The technical planning for SEPA direct debits was part of this project.

The technical architecture was similar to the STEP.AT project and the replaced systems was a ADABAS/BS200 solution.

  • Software design analysis, support during conception phase (Java components)
  • Implementation of the Java based components and services
  • Design and implementation of an high-performance and flexible multi-format/single-pass format converter

Customer: Wave Solutions, Austria

Planning and integration of a generic test framework into the BA/CA corporate J2EE environment. The scope was extended to support other environments (e.g. .NET development). The framework offers the creation of unit tests which can be queried or executed from an external environment at runtime. The evaluation of the results is executed on separate systems, which are used to monitor the quality.

  • Components used: JUnit/TestNG, Spring, XFire, JBoss

Customer: Wave Solutions, Austria

Integration of the developer tools offered by the data warehouse project for Basel II into the existing software component management infrastructure as well as the transparent integration of the IBM Websphere Transformation Extender command line tools into the SCM-specific phases of the Eclipse-based clients. The persistence of the various data mapping have been realized by the existing versioning system (CVS).

  • Components used: Eclipse 3.2, IBM Websphere Transformation Extender, CVS

Customer: Wave Solutions, Österreich

Design and planning of the system architecture and interface definition of developer support system named Decentral Software Component Management. Furthermore the implementation of a generic build processor used for software builds based on configurable parameters and the integration of the processor into an Eclipse-based client used for the mainframe development.

  • Components used: Tomcat, Spring, CXF, Eclipse 3.2

Customer: Insurance Company, Austria

Development of a new version of an existing web application to enter employee data, which is used to calculate insurance fees and bonusses. The existing application had issues with the presentation of large data sets and was replaced by a lightweight Java Enterprise solution using JSF, Spring and Hibernate as well as the Acegi Security Framework.

  • Analysis of the existing application (requirements, concept and software design)
  • Implementation of the application
  • Components used: JSF with Facelets, Spring, Hibernate, Acegi Security, Ant for customized Build

Telecommunication

Customer: UPC CIO, pan-European activities

Enhancement of a proprietary Java/XSL middleware: implementation of several changes as well as the integration of a flexible web service interface with Spring and XFire and enhancements of the JMS interface.

  • Software analysis, design and conceptual support
  • Implementation of the application
  • Components used: Java XML Processing, XML, Spring, XFire, JMS

Customer: Telecommunication-Company, Germany

Pan-European integration and standardization of the various ticket systems used through the footprint into a centralized system. The focus was on the integration of the OSS/J based ticket types into the existing decentralized and heterogeneous network.

  • Technical project management
  • Analysis of the involved systems, creation of specification
  • Interface implementation (implementation and configuration)
  • Components used: BMC Action Request System, JMS, proprietary Java application

Customer: UPC CIO, pan-European

Design and implementation of a lightweight integration and service activation platform for the provisioning of VoIP products. For some countries we provided a localized web frontend. On the integration layer, the application communicated with soft switches from three different vendors, accessed data in two structurally different LDAP directories and created low-level configuration files (boot files in ASN.1) in real time for modems from different vendors.

  • Software analysis, design and conceptual support
  • Interface specification after the initial phase
  • Implementation of the application
  • Components used: Spring, JMS, JAXB, JBoss JMX, Hibernate

Automotive Industry

Customer: Automotive Industry, Germany

Implementation of a pre-specified document ticketing and change management system for suppliers and internal users. The new system covers both documentation, patch and demand management of maintenance and user documentation. The application is connected to a generic passenger car and heavy goods vehicle ticketing system which is already used by garages and suppliers.

  • Implementation of the application
  • Components used: BMC Action Request System
