Outcome

The primary business goal of CSSi SharePoint is to provide potential and current clients with an easy way to request, learn about, and connect with Corporate Software Solutions Inc. (CSSi) regarding current, past, and future services.

The decision to use SharePoint Online was made to provide all users with a uniform experience and centralized access to data. Branded with Bootstrap, the responsive master page caches 90% of the CSS and JavaScript used throughout the site, resulting in faster page loads for both Mobileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and desktop users. By utilizing AngularJS, KnockoutJS, and jQuery for client-side rendering, the site achieves a lighter footprint and allows data and layouts to be updated easily. Templates and content can be stored in lists across the site, delivering a more responsive experience as the browser handles user interactions and retrieves data as needed.

Through SharePoint Online Team Sites, Development Sites, and App Sites, CSSi teams can access apps, past and current projects, and up-to-date documentation based on their user accounts. Workflows and client access enable customers to view project updates and request changes to provided documentation and services. Unauthorized users are limited to viewing the public site and can only submit requests for client access or services through the new Contact Us form.

As CSSi offers more apps and services, this website will be updated to include relevant announcements, blog posts, and tutorials on SharePoint and other Microsoft services. We will also continue to improve ways for users to request participation in our evolving software solutions.

Outcome

The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) of tariff nomenclature is an international system of names and numbers for classifying traded products developed and maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO). Under the HS convention, the contracting parties are obliged to base their tariff schedules on the HS nomenclature, although parties set their own rates of duty. HS is the primary resource for determining tariff classifications for goods imported into the United States. The U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule classifies a good based on such things as its name, use, and/or material used in its construction

Providing a style master file to a broker which determines the HS codes and duties based on the style’s information.  The Client was able to import, update and verify Duty Rates and  HS Numbers based on a current as well as previously input Codes.  This information had to be created pre file upload as any codes not already placed in the system would be rejected.

A color code key was created to provide end users with quick verification of which HS Codes were invalid, what styles were changed since last update as well as if there were new items created by the PLM System since last log in. 

Excel extracts allowed for easy reporting and offline verification by Brokers. while Integration configuration was set through updates based on season and division combinations.   

Outcome

The primary business goal of Support Self Service was to provide clients with Knowledge Based (KB) articles authored by designated professionals. 

These KB articles would go through an approval workflow which would be viewed by monitoring parties before publication.  The clients would then be able to find answers to questions through the improved search and search results sections.  Knowledge Based articles are used to increase issue deflection by providing clients with detailed application and service knowledge on common problems leveraged by professionals who have solved the issue.  This leaves the service desk to handle more intricate problems, which require more attention and then could be documented and published.       

A critical driver for Support Self Service was a streamlined process and framework to provide simplified content management to the client.  Streamlining content management allows for business personnel to update key components and details, which would then get critical content to users as they search for relevant information to their problem.      

Outcome

Pulling information from core systems the Collaboration and Translation utility was built to extend and integrate with Multiple ERP as well as PLM solutions.   The Primary purpose of the Collaboration and Translation utility was to create a centralization of data, which would then be aggregated and checked based on System priority, Date Time and User Input for validity.

This information would then be distribution to brokers through out of network/offline excel extracts or direct access to the application.  With provided item data the broker would then be able to asses and add regional specific information and translations to end users within the company.

To ensure only data approved for transmission was sent a Send checkbox  and date timestamp was added to only allow the items selected to be posted as a bulk update to the end users.  This send flag would also remove doubled efforts as information which was already translated would be sent to a posted section of the system.  While posted the information would be searchable and retrieved for verification or to restart the collaborative process.

Outcome

Despite the wealth of information and metrics gathered in the current system, regular users are provided with no tangible benefits or insights from adding their local market information. Reports are generated off the old system (rather than being an integral part of it) and these are used at global and executive level and for reporting figures upwards. This requirement still remains however one of the drivers of the new solution is to provide analytics at a local market level, information that will, with the insights presented, drive their new business activity, focus their attention on potential new clients and sectors and provide a further incentive to use the system and keep their information up to date and relevant.

The Use of AngularJS and a new development strategy applied (based off the App Model) was decided as the key framework and architectural components to the application. the development strategy allowed for advanced security, removal from the company app catalog, modular deployments(Continuous Integration is possible if required, but Administrating company handled deployments manually) on different tiers as well as fast migration to Azure services and SharePoint Online in future migrations. PowerBi was used as a main reporting feature providing reports for users whom wanted to use IPad's as well as those looking for customizable reports without further development. There were a some custom reports built by consulting Development firm as well.

Outcome

Using ASP.Net, Enterprise Library and SQLSERVER, created a logging system that stores errors and information into a SQLSERVER database. Modified the logs to show more details of thrown exceptions and errors, assisting the development team in debugging and tracing troubled areas. To aid in viewing the logs, there was a super user page created. This page would query the database bringing back relevant logs based on search criteria and filters, which allowed the development team to view only the relevant logs for each problem which occurred.

Outcome

Temporary Contract

Utilized powershell, XML and SQL to Create Scripts which would allow for a Scalable/redeployable SharePoint 2010 Environment. Updatable XML/SQL Termset allows administrators to alter the environment through XML or SQL instead of powershell. Scripts allowed deployment of new tenant sites, and provided significant security measures including: partitioned service applications, separate content DBs per client, managed paths on site collection level etc.

Outcome

A broadcast quality media player for TV stations that utilizes C# Winforms, Multithreading, and Remote.NET in Visual Studio. Designed a playlist builder add-on which allows a remotely running XClyps system to pick streams and events for play out remotely. The builder allows the user to save the playlist via XML and run it on other instances of XClyps.

Outcome

Using MVC3, Solr Lucene, C# 4.0, designed a new interface for users of the Track Service to view data from the database. This interface allows for faceted searching, faster views of the data, and a more intelligent feel to the system. The use of MVC will allow for a faster development of User interfaces giving customers a more customized feel to their service.

Outcome

Financial Analysts(FA) at leading firms have requested new forms of software, which will help keep potential clients both engaged in the meeting as well as informed of how their assets will handle throughout their life. The leading charts and graphs applications are boring, and are little help to a FA in selling additional services. The new application needed to be fast, Mobileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee friendly, futureproofed, and fun to work with. To get the process going we utilized these frameworks and services with explanations below. The Main development framework was Angular 2(using the cli and Typescript), GreenSock Animation, WebWorkers(special gulp process to facilitate this and keep compliance with Angular-CLI) Azure Active Directory(AAD) for Enterprise Integration, and ASP.net with Entity Framework Core. The Angular CLI was used to keep the project within best patterns and practices with the teams at google and the communities. A new Development pattern was created to use the Web Worker process, which allows the UX to be both responsive while also cutting down processing time as the data processes are done on a separate thread within the browser. The Animations were performed by supplying data to GreenSock Framework, and authentication for the General public was ASP.Net Identity Framework. Later discussions on AAD integration for Enterprises were discussed, but not yet implemented. Using AAD would allow access to other applications which can provide data for faster integration as well as Single Sign On Experience from their Work computers.
