Protegent/SunGard (2005 -      )

InfiniMax is assisting Protegent in implementing and customizng SunGard's Protegent Surveillance and BrokerAudit applications.  These FINRA- and SEC-compliance databases and applications utilize data from Beta, Pershing and National Financial Services (NFS) correspondents, among others. 

Watch Captain LLC (2004 - 2005)

InfiniMax led a team of independent contractors in converting an existing shrink-wrapped business application spanning nine major subsystems to VB.NET and SQL Server 2000.  This project had a multi-million dollar budget over two years, and InfiniMax led the project planning, staffing, requirements definition, functional specification, data analysis, test planning, test execution and application implementation efforts.  The analysis effort alone was intensive and extensive and yielded 1500 pages of specifications and 1200 data elements while team members typically worked 70 hours per week. 

U.S. Department of State (2004 - 2005)

In this subcontract via Hanscomb, Faithful & Gould and RS Means Company, InfiniMax led a detailed data analysis effort, defining complex data flows and core and peripheral elements, entities and relationships related to US embassy construction cost data.  We also directed a team of three analysts that worked closely with State to extract and define their system and software requirements.  The team documented those specifications in a Software Requirements Specification (SRS), the format for which we melded several industry-standards.

The project is now progressing toward Phase II, where the historical database will be designed, constructed, tested and implemented.

Town of Plympton, Massachusetts (2002 -     )

Pro-bono effort leading team of volunteer citizens.  The Plympton Web Development & Maintenance Committee defined site requirements and a high-level design.  Devine & Pearson, also on a pro-bono basis, completed a detailed design, coded the site and added initial content.  InfiniMax Systems led the Web Committee and its novice webmasters through requirements definition, content collection, user acceptance test and site maintenance processes.  InfiniMax also built an ASP.NET application for Plympton Web site maintenance that enables members to track and share data about change requests, maintain a list of subscribers to the site and send them email updates, and share minutes, agendas and links for past and upcoming meetings.

The project is now in its build-out and maintenance phase.

InfiniMax Systems led the successful conversion of a legacy Ingres/character-based system to a Visual Basic 6.0 / SQL Server 6.5/7.0/2000 implementation with enhanced features and maintainability.  We defined business requirements, designed eight subsystems, logically and physically modeled the database using ERwin, physically implemented the new database, and performed database administration.  

We then handed off the specs to local programmers, worked with them throughout the coding phase, wrote T-SQL stored procedures and scripts, tested the application, designed and presented training to client engineers and led the software installation.  The new construction cost tracking and prediction system utilizes 25 Visual Basic forms, 75 tables and over 1000 data elements, and is used by approximately 30 cost and structural engineers on a daily basis. 

The new application attained top reviews from the user community.

Sippican, Inc. (2002 -  2003)

InfiniMax Systems successfully provided "round-trip-engineering" enabling Sippican to share DOD project costing information between MS Excel and MS Project 2000 / 2002.  Via a series of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros, InfiniMax imported cost and actual hours worked by task, employee and date to MS Project from MS Excel.  This included sophisticated code to identify source data errors and to separate and accurately place Timescaled Values.

InfiniMax then built a system to export remaining cost-to-complete, by task and timescaled by month, to MS Excel from MS Project.

InfiniMax Systems conducted Object Oriented Analysis and modeling of construction cost data that previously resided in relational tables.  Ultimately, this data will be made available to both suppliers and purchasers via the internet/web.  As class architects, we created class hierarchies and attributes for both composite and atomic objects.

We defined the class hierarchies and attributes using UML, XML Spy and Visio 2000; and wrote data-synch SQL scripts to format and export SQL Server 2000 relational entities and attributes to the above OO model in XML. 

InfiniMax Systems managed every aspect of this shrink-wrap/outsource project for R.S. Means.  We specified user and product requirements, created a detailed product design and rapid prototype in VB 6.0, and logically and physically modeled, built and administered a 25-table/ 200-data element database in SQL Server 7.0.  

We remotely managed programmers in Atlanta, planned the testing process, executed the tests, tracked and trended bugs and led the implementation.  The product is now used to report and project building construction costs by client project managers around the world.

InfiniMax Systems led a conceptual process and data modeling effort for capturing construction cost data, defining product attributes, parsing and populating those attributes, and creating model buildings in an object oriented fashion.  Working through R.S. Means and their parent company, we derived an enhanced construction cost data model, defined requirements for attribution, and developed rapid prototypes of systems to capture attribution data.

Pro-bono assistance for this historical non-profit; InfiniMax mapped and migrated donor data from three disparate legacy systems to new off-the-shelf software using M.S. Access and Excel.

InfiniMax led a team of clients, analysts and coders developing a Web-based Client / Server application directed at course creation for academic institutions.  We assumed full budget, timeline, reporting and leadership responsibility and interfaced with two co-development firms.  InfiniMax led two successful releases in an IE 3/4, Netscape, HTML, XML, Dynabase/SQL Server 6.5 environment while implementing repeatable development processes and assisting in the training of junior developers. 

InfiniMax Systems modeled and built an M.S. Access database to support MW Data Basics online training course availability and registration.  This engine now drives the registration process for MW Data Basics class attendees.
