Company and Project Background
Syntex Management Systems (Texas, USA), provides Enterprise Risk Management solutions to clients like ExxonMobil, Shell, and others. Syntex requested development of a light weight application as a web-interface to a heavy weight Enterprise application preserving compatibility and interoperability on the data level. Syntex will eventually replace the entire legacy application, but needs a short-term, innovative solution to maintain existing business operations in the meantime.
Our Solution
Volia designed and developed a new architecture and framework from scratch while maintaining interoperability with the existing system. Using .Net instead of VB, the framework covers common tasks like authentication and permissions check, auditing, e-mail notification, common user interface components, etc. The application was improved to meet all business and technical requirements, with multiple database support for both ORACLE and MS SQL Server 2000.

Company and Project Background:
The State Employment Office of Ukraine is a large governmental agency comprised of 648 district employment centers and 27 regional employment centers. Their legacy system, written in the Clipper environment, was used in approximately 400 of the office’s employment centers. Over time, this system became outdated and inefficient, and unable to handle major policy and process changes within the agency. In addition, the system:
- Did not cover the State and the regional levels;
- Did not have data distribution and consolidation functionality;
- Broke down often leading to the time consuming process of reconstructing lost data.
