CLIENT SERVER PROJECTS

§  Customer Assistance Group - Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Designed and built Intranet site using Visual InterDev 6.0 and Visual Basic 6.0. The purpose of this site was to provide outside of Houston read only access to Customer Complaint database and Images of customer and institutional correspondence. Both databases resided on two different SQL servers. The biggest challenge was to bring Images to the HTML pages.  I achieved that by building ActiveX control (using VB and Eastman Software OCX). This control was able to retrieve file information’s from Saros database and display them in HTML page. Scripting was done in VBScript and ASP 2.0/ADO and ActiveX DLLs were built in VB6. Web enabled several Crystal Reports using Seagate ASP DLL.

Each report was built as a template so creating and manipulating the data was very easy. Those reports were used by Senior Executives and Analysts.

The application was built around Remedy AR System and FileNet Suite. We used Remedy for customer and institutional complaint information and FileNet Suite for imaging database. Created several Remedy macros and Word 97 automation scripts which helped users with better and more efficient data entry.
