The following summaries provide a sample of project-based work DataSource has engaged in, both commercially and with the government.
-
 DataSource is responsible for the project management, development, and implementation of a system to automate the IRS Employee and Contractor Background Investigation process. The core functionality of the Automated Background Investigation System (ABIS) replaces the manual and paper-intensive processes previously employed by the National Background Investigation Center (NBIC) in the processing of background investigations and security clearances.- ABIS is an N-Tier, web-based application developed using DataSource’s proprietary technology for Java. Because of this, the IRS realized approximately 55% savings in development costs for ABIS. Using this technology, approximately 300,000 lines of Java code were produced in six months by a team of three developers, two of whom had no prior Java experience. The final ABIS application is modifiable to meet changing needs, and these modifications can be (and have been) accomplished by non-Java-trained personnel, thus also reducing the cost of maintenance.
- ABIS comprises more than 600 web pages/windows, many of which contain multiple tabs, and more than 100 reports, and the system implements thousands of functional requirements. ABIS incorporates the following technologies: J2EE, ASP.NET, SQL Server 2000, Crystal Reports, Bean Markup Language (BML), and XML. NBIC staff access and update the ABIS system from approximately 30 locations across the United States.

- For the Navy’s Standard Shipyard Management Information System (SYMIS) application, one of the largest industrial information systems operating in the Federal Government, DataSource has provided project management and support in all areas of the SDLC for over 12 years.
- This support has spanned the following pre-defined phases of SYMIS financial application:
- The first phase consisted of application migration from a Honeywell COBOL 64 sequential file based system to an IDSII network database on a Honeywell mainframe.
- The second phase required migration and reengineering of SYMIS from a proprietary Honeywell system to an Open System Environment (OSE), (UNIX/Oracle on HP9000 platform). During this phase, DataSource organized several versions of the program source code and implemented one standard design and code base which would support all functional users at all active shipyards in the United States. We followed DOD development standards.
- The second phase required us to reengineer both the Shipyard Corporate and application business rules. We subsequently rewrote the application in the newly established OSE environment using CASE technology, an Oracle database, and a UNIX platform (HP9000). DataSource migrated the remaining sequential flat files and all data in the IDSII database to the new Oracle database.
- The third phase of SYMIS development involved changing the official accounting system and accounting principles for all shipyards. DataSource developed all software necessary for the new and modified functionality for the “mission-funded” accounting concept in NSLC’s target architecture (UNIX/Oracle on an HP9000). The DataSource team integrated the new software into the existing system without compromising the data or level of detail previously provided. We piloted the system at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and subsequently rolled it out to all other active shipyards nationwide according to the defined schedule.
- During all phases of our support for NSLC IH, DataSource implemented the necessary interfaces with 15 major federal systems, multiple system and RDBMS (Oracle) upgrades, and successfully handled multiple system enhancement initiatives and requests.

- Over the past 12 years, DataSource has played an integral role in developing and providing continuing support to AAMVA for key driver, vehicle, title, registration, and motor carrier related applications using various technologies. We have provided full life cycle services including project management/coordination, business process and data analysis, requirements definition, systems design and development, quality assurance and testing, help desk support, documentation, and training to meet project requirements for many major Electronic Commerce/Electronic Data Interchange (EC/EDI) applications used by state motor vehicle administrations (MVAs) nationwide to exchange driver, vehicle and other MVA data.
- Some of the applications DataSource has played a key role in are:
- National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS)
- International Registration Plan (IRP)
- Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS)
- Additionally, DataSource analyzed and enhanced AAMVA’s network infrastructure to support existing and future operations, including internet operations. We reviewed the internet services that were outsourced to an internet service provider and developed and implemented a plan to migrate those services to internal AAMVA resources.

- DataSource has provided support to the MIA in the design and development of an enterprise-wide, web-based J2EE system for maintenance and management of insurance companies who do business in the State of Maryland.
- The system improves and enhances MIA's internal processes by eliminating such repetitive tasks as the multiple entry of data by separate units within the administration. The system has allowed MIA to become a self-funded organization.
- The MIA enterprise system is a J2EE N-Tier, thin client (web-based) system utilizing a database layer, transaction server, and a servlet engine. The thin client is composed of a series of JAVA applets displayed through a web browser.
- The DataSource-led project incorporated all SDLC phases and followed our CMM® processes and procedures throughout the life cycle. Technologies used include: Java/J2EE, Swing, JSP, and Sybase. DataSource also helped develop an official MIA web site enabling non-visual access.

- For DHMH, the DataSource team developed an enterprise web-based application — “WIC on the Web” (WOW) which is used in WIC offices across the State of Maryland. This application encompasses Clinic, Vendor, and Finance modules, and a computer-based training module for WIC services as well as the WOW application. The DataSource team provided full life-cycle support for this project, including confirming and finalizing requirements, design, development, testing (unit, system, integration, and performance), implementation, training, and support.
- The WOW application was built using an N-tier distributed architecture. Technologies used include ASP.NET, VB.NET, Oracle 9i, Oracle Discoverer, Oracle Reports, JavaScript, Oracle Application Server, and IIS. Additionally, Redline’s E|X3250 web accelerator was used, enabling the DataSource team to meet the State’s performance requirements, even for the outlying WIC offices which access the WOW application using a dial-up internet connection.
