University of Sydney

Sydney University

High quality breast imaging and accurate image assessment are critical to the early diagnoses, treatment and management of women with cancer. Mammography is the primary diagnostic tool for detecting breast cancer with 800,000 women X-rayed annually in Australia; however, it fails to detect 30% of breast cancers, with many missed cancers being visible on the image. SSW build the training platform for BreastScreen Reader Assessment Strategy (BREAST), which monitors mistakes, identifies reasons for mammographic errors and creates innovative solutions to reduce errors.

Toll Transport

Toll Transport

Toll Transport is one of Australia's largest logistics and trucking companies. Toll comprises a network of businesses that work individually and collectively to deliver optimal logistics solutions across all industry sectors.

Toll was looking to track and understand the movements of their Toll Linehaul fleet across the country. They needed to optimise the travel to reduce costs, meet government compliance, and manage their trucks and drivers.

PwC

PwC

PwC approached SSW to take an internally developed Excel application driven by macros, that assisted their clients in producing tax returns, and turn it into a fully fledged core application for PwC to help clients manage their tax obligations in an automated fashion. The initial scope of the application was to service the Australian market with the intention to expand to other markets globally.

It has grown to cater for tax obligations in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Switzerland, United Kingdom, India, Singapore, Mexico and other European countries and has been successfully deployed to over 50 large organizations.

Bupa

Bupa

Bupa is one of the largest providers of health cover in Australia. Bupa's agents handle hundreds of insurance claim cases every day. They used to use Excel to connect to their database to track and update those claim cases, which is slow, crashed easily, no security restriction and not user friendly.

SSW created a user friendly interface for agents to manage cases more efficiently. We integrated with their existing membership database and built the system with case status workflow logic at the backend.

TAFE

TAFE

The Northern Sydney Institute, part of TAFE NSW, is one of Australia’s leading providers of vocational training and tertiary education.

Many websites are needed for the Institute, with websites for the brand, international versions, and microsites for subdivisions.

The websites require a lot of maintenance and constant content changes. Prior to SSW developing the Sitefinity solution, this was all done manually within a small IT team.
A CMS was desperately needed to allow subdivisions to update their sites and content directly (with an approval workflow).

Event Cinemas

Event Cinemas

Event Cinemas is Australia’s leading Cinema company.

They were looking to revamp their website with a new look and feel with the added ability to drive the site via a new CMS. Six different CMS options were assessed and Telerik’s Sitefinity was chosen.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia

Commonwealth Bank of Australia

CBA is one of Australia's largest banks, and it employs thousands of people Australia wide. SSW developed an intranet based ASP.NET solution to help them better manage their staffing timesheets and allow HR to better track employee performance and work expectations.

The project was written in .NET with a MS SQL Server backend. It was written in a combination of both VB.NET (for the front-end plus security) and C# (for data access and business logic). The website needed to be very rich in terms of the client interaction, it was originally slated as a Windows Forms project but for various reasons it ended up being web based. This meant that large effort was put into developing and using rich controls with considerable client-side functionality.

An interesting challenge of this project involved the security implementation, whereby the system had to not only allow integrated (Windows) if possible to allow users to be identified without needing to enter a sign in prompt, but it also had to share its authentication and authorization logic with any number of external applications. This means that the authentication and authorization process talks to up to 3 different web services in order to log a user in.

Implementing the database schema also threw up a number of challenges including an interesting modeling of the organizational hierarchy and our ability to efficiently query parent-child and parent-descendent relationships within the self-referencing data.

The CommTrack application is now expected to serve some thousands of internal users throughout their day and feed into a greater data warehouse to enable advanced management reporting. It is a massive improvement over an existing system of manual spreadsheet maintenance. When the full rollout is complete, CommTrack is expected to give CBA investment returns in the range hundreds of thousands of dollars per year through increased staff productivity and process improvements.

A quick note to say thanks for all the work on CommTrack and support for the implementation. The app is getting very good reviews from the user base and we have a queue of people lined up nationally wanting to get on and use it. Your part of the larger project has progressed very well (in contrast to roadblocks and pain elsewhere). I wanted to make sure you knew that I recognized a job well done by the SSW and CBA folks.Simon Renton - Retail Operations - Manager Finance and modeling, Commonwealth Bank

NRMA

NRMA

The NRMA organization provides a Community Grants Program annually, and when the NRMA came to SSW the records in a legacy database were difficult to report on and maintain. One of the key issues faced by the NRMA community grants team was keeping the records of organizations consistent across several years, when it is common for office bearers to change, and for each organization to create separate registrations making reporting difficult if not impossible for periods beyond the current year.

The solution provided by SSW comprised a custom website written in Microsoft ASP.NET Dynamic Data and with an SQL Server backend. Reporting was built on top of Microsoft Reporting Services. A key feature of the system was a mechanism to identify "re-registration" events when someone tries to register for an organization that is already in the system.

NRMA now have a secure database for recording the community grants data which is easier to use and maintain that the old system. This system incorporates a mechanism that avoids most cases of organization duplication, and so reporting is reliable across multiple years for the same organization. NRMA have successfully used the system for the first year of its operation, and are looking forward to using it for the next and subsequent years.

We used these technologies: Microsoft ASP.NET Dynamic Data, SQL Server, and Microsoft Reporting Services.

Medibank

Medibank

Medibank Private engage SSW to help implement ALM and DevOps for their internal application development, testing and support. Their currently process involved numerous manual steps and had to involved many different departments to coordinate the development, deployment and testing resources for their application. This was a highly inefficient process.

SSW implemented TFS with Test Manager and Lab Manager for Medibank Private. This process streamlined an automated their development pipeline from weeks to create a release to under a day.

Lend Lease

Lend Lease

Lend Lease is one of the world's leading fully integrated property solutions providers, with strong development, investment management, project and construction management and asset and property management capabilities. As part of their ongoing effort in improving efficiency and productivity, several legacy spreadsheets and reports need to be converted into web applications. To ensure consistency, a common visual framework is required across applications.

SSW worked together with LendLease IT department and together formed a series of visual UI framework which are used for existing and future web applications.

With the visual framework in place, developers can focus their effort in meeting functional requirements and worry less on how the apps should look. End users also benefit from having a common UI theme across their line-of-business applications.

Pfizer

Pfizer

We needed to build a complete credit returns system to replace the entirely manual paper based system that was previously in place.

We build an ASP.NET application using a custom workflow engine to address this challenge.

There is now a mostly automated workflow system in place that manages the entire process of credit returns, and frees up multiple resources for other work.

We used these technologies: ASP.NET 3.0 and SQL Server 2005

Aurecon

WorleyParsons

WorleyParsons

SharePoint 2007 was implemented extensively across their organization, but they were looking to extend the development to include their new public website. After a lengthy tendering process, WorleyParsons chose SSW to develop their new public website and it is now powered by SharePoint 2007.

The site and all components were to be reusable, so site templates, page layouts, content types and web parts were used extensively. This allows WorleyParsons employees with sufficient permissions to manage and maintain the website without requiring any assistance from developers.

Queensland Water Infrastructure

Queensland Water Infrastructure

The organization was formed to build a series of large water resource projects to provide adequate water resources to South East Queensland. In each of those projects a large amount of land was needed making the acquisition, recording, contracts and communication and key element, and even before a project started a large number of documents are generated relating to site planning, images, email, agreements, and other documents. Queensland Water Infrastructure needed a solution to handle the volume and change management in all this data.

SSW provided a solution as two key systems, 1) tracking and reporting on the land acquisitions, and 2) a document management system. A custom application was written to track the acquisitions. This system had a Microsoft SQL Database backend, allowing the complex reporting requirements to be satisfied by Microsoft Reporting Services. The management of documents was built on top of Microsoft SharePoint and WISDOM DMF. The features of Enterprise SharePoint were extended with custom WebParts for project navigation, and custom context menus with options available based on the type of document stored.

Projects of the size involved have many legal and practical management requirements that only a system that is both reliable and performing the core business model can provide. The systems SSW provided were tailored to the exact model that QWI ran its business on, and the systems have used to complete 3 successful projects, with further project work currently underway.

We used these technologies: Microsoft SharePoint MOSS (Enterprise), SQL Server, Reporting Services, WISDOM DMF, Access 2007

McDonalds Asia Pacific

McDonalds Asia Pacific

McDonalds needs to track shipments and report on their meats to the US, Asia and domestically.

SSW worked together with McDonalds to build an Access application with SQL backend to help manage their day to day operations. Since then SSW have been porting some existing functions into ClickOnce applications and migrating reports to Reporting Services reports. We also provide training to their users around using Access and writing advanced queries.

Streamlined their operations from a manual system to an automated system

We used these technologies: Access 2003, SQL Server 2005, SSIS, Web Services, Great Plains integration, Reporting Services

Snack Brands Australia

Snack Brands Australia

SnackBrands were rapidly growing and acquiring other companies. As such they had sales data in many different systems. They were currently reporting my manually consolidating figures into excel and crunching the numbers.

SSW developed the glue that brought all these systems together using SSIS to grab and dump the data into a data warehouse. We worked with the business users to build a cube off that data that helped report on sales, trends, forecasting, volumes, logistics and customers. We also setup SnackBrand's SharePoint infrastructure configuring Excel services and Reporting Services integration, allowing users to easily query the cube and upload and share reports.

Empowered users to create their own reports, streamlined their reporting solution by removing the manual steps.

We used these technologies: SharePoint 2007 MOSS, Reporting Services 2008, SQL Server 2008, SSIS, and Excel Services

Vulcan Steel

Vulcan Steel

Vulcan Steel approached SSW about a Windows application that needed to be updated to the latest technologies to ensure easier maintainability and reusability. This app is the backbone of Vulcan Steel’s day-to-day business operations.

They had a desire for a better architecture to allow changes to be made quicker, with a lower chance of unintended defects. With an app of this magnitude, it is essential to keep it up-to-date and functioning perfectly, to ensure a lower total cost of ownership.

Because this app is so vital, it was also a requirement that the app remain up and running during the process of upgrading it to the new architecture. The challenges didn’t stop there though: All of the logic was embedded in the windows app with no service layer, and Vulcan Steel’s IT people are based in New Zealand whilst SSW are in Australia.

We used these technologies: MS SQL, .NET

Conquest

Conquest

Upgrading a complex Access-based application to the latest technologies. The main problem with Access was client deployment issues.

We are bringing the Access application forward to Silverlight with RIA services. We’re keeping the database schema unchanged so that the new version will run in parallel to their existing application, and gradually phase the old one out. This also allows us to deploy the new version earlier and get the end-users excited.

Deployment model will be a lot simpler for end-user machines since they won’t need to have Access installed. This will allow Conquest to reach a broader market, and simplify the deployment experience.

We used these technologies: Silverlight 3 WCF Services RIA services SQL Server ASP.NET.

Cap Gemini Ernst Young

Cap Gemini Ernst and Young

AMS is a data staging system that imports and converts data into a specialized format for import into the Dyna financial modeling system. External outsource service providers send simple files which are imported and converted through 3 databases. SSW's role was development in Visual Basic, JavaScript and SQL Server 7.0 stored procedures. This involved building stored procedures to do data transformation and building an ActiveX component to queue and run batch jobs. The web interface required programming in JavaScript and VB COM objects.

SSW worked on this large 3-tier ASP/VB/SQL Server 2000 project. One of the requirements was to create a specialized data transformation system to feed data into an asset management system for predicting future rental prices on all properties owned by the Commonwealth Bank.

The data would come in as CSV and tab-delimited files (amongst others), which would be read into the first SQL Server database via DTS. Following this, stored procedures moved and transformed it into the second SQL Server database where it was in a standard format. Then stored procedures moved it into a third database which was in a special format for output into a text script that the Commonwealth Bank Asset Management package could read. The 'Administration' and 'Script Importing' sections of this project used an ASP interface created by SSW. Validation of the imported data was done in DTS via a Visual Basic 6.0 COM object called by the DTS ActiveX scripts.

SSW resource played a critical role in the project. The high level of technical understanding ensured the project was completed smoothly.David Masters, AMS system project manager
