Previous Projects
Some of our more notable projects are:
- The key extraction and indexing engine for a product that archives and indexes Gigabytes of report data (onto a laser disk juke-box) on a daily basis. This system, a widely used commercial product, allows compound retrieval queries to be made against the stored database. This product is currently in use at companies such as the Bank of America and the New York Stock Exchange.
- The device driver and anciliary software for a high security LAN device running under AIX. This software applies advanced encryption and CIPSO security labelling to all network data, and is used by several US government departments.
- The Unix device driver for an encryption card designed for a US government agency it would be imprudent to identify.
- A compiler for a Californian hardware manufacturer to define and create user-configurable, multi-lingual end-user interfaces
- The device drivers, queueing software and applications screens to control a leading burglar alarm company's Central Station, supporting a nationwide network of (10,000+) burglar alarms and controlling the response thereto
- An e-mail transport agent [a SENDMAIL replacement]
- An e-mail transfer agent [a FETCHMAIL replacement] for a UK firm with very idiosyncratic mail handling requirements
- For an importer, augmented a standard accounting package to superimpose contract and stock management, bills of exchange, shipment tracking, shipment variance management and forwarding agent management
- For an Australian ASP [Application Service Provider], porting to Linux an e-commerce system for secure credit card authorisation
- An intelligent, event-driven debt collection administration package for a large solicitors' practice, utilising a table-driven knowledge base enabling it to automatically pick its way through the complexities of County And High Court actions, and featuring a comprehensive context-sensitive help system to explain the underlying law
- A multi-port, multi-target communications scheduler for automated retrieval and distribution of retailing information for a large UK retail chain (that long pre-dated the existence of the Web)
- The communications program for an EFT system in Australia
- A Unix device driver for one of the first handheld bar code readers
- Unix device drivers for several bar-code printers
- A batch and print spooling subsystem for Linux, based upon IBM's HASP/JES, supporting any number of batch queues and any number of local and remote printers
- A software suite to maintain multiple, simultaneous, remote copies of a PostgreSQL-based banking application with automatic failover and recovery
- Control software for a secure fax system
