1 Global IT Solutions Modernizing critical enterprise applications How PSI can help you develop world class software applications with.net technology?

2 .NET Technology for your business The next generation of device and service-dependent applications are not emerging in isolation. These applications have to integrate and operate with existing applications, unlocking their value to new audiences and new modes of interaction. The two scenarios that every application developer now faces are: Creating experiences across heterogeneous devices Creating standard, lightweight services that extend through the cloud Established patterns Server Emerging patterns Cloud services Client Multi-device experiences

PSI offers two Engagement Models for the customers: PSI provides extended support to organizations across the globe in an initiative, which offers one month of free POC/Pilot Project. PSI offers a Performance Based Outsourcing Model, a commercial engagement wherein the IT services provider s remuneration is directly proportional to performance, hence the service provider is paid as per the delivery quality of IT services supplied. Developing next generation of device and service-dependent applications with.net Technology PSI can help you leverage the next generation of device and service-dependent applications with.net technology. It builds upon existing applications, extending them to emerging application patterns, while embracing multiple development technologies. Creating seamless experiences with.net: With integration of devices with.net, HTML/JavaScript, and C++, you can make the decision that best fits your needs without compromising the experience. Second,.NET and Visual Studio simplify creation of web applications that can run across any device. ASP.NET fully embraces the modern standards and in conjunction with the latest unique innovations in Visual Studio, enables a new breed of web applications that take full advantage of modern browsers across devices. The two alternatives commonly established in the industry are based on very different approaches: Native applications, which can get the most from every device, but require unique skills and code for each platform. Web applications, which can be created with common skill sets and code, but cannot provide a tailored experience for each device.

7 PSI Success Stories: Client Case Studies PSI has what it takes to make a successful client relationship: Vision, Ethics, flexibility and risk sharing, quality service delivery, sense of ownership and responsibility. Some of the key case studies are: PSI developed a high performance web-based application for Canada s leader in oil and gas information management Client: The client is Canada s leading Oil & Gas Information Management automation company. Fast paced automation of this industry triggered the need for on-the-go web application. The need: In spite of having an unparalleled and best in class Production Accounting System, the client was facing stiff competition from other Industry players, as its application was not able to meet the requirements of mobile users. Thus, the client engaged PSI for developing a high performance web version of their desktop application. The intent was to increase the overall market share by offering both, on premise and on demand solutions. Challenges: Lack of exposure on Progress 4 GL database. Delivery of sprints with minimal bugs. Minimizing the impact of frequent changes during the entire development cycle. Retaining the performance and ease of use of the desktop based application in the new web version. Solution Approach: The team undertook training to develop the required skill set in Progress 4 GL database. The team also underwent thorough research work for understanding Oil & Gas Industry and honed their skills accordingly. Thus learning and delivery was carried out simultaneously. The complete Product backlog was broken down into Sprint backlogs, which were further arranged on priority basis. Each sprint cycle involved designing, development and testing. During Development, binaries were shared with the client almost on a daily basis. All the sprints underwent unit testing and performance testing prior to delivery to ensure minimal bugs and high quality. Seamless integration of change requests with product backlog. Results: Delivery of the project within the highly ambitious timelines and budget in spite of lack of expertise in the given business domain. Minimized dependency through successful technology shift from Progress 4 GL to.net. Delivered a robust application that was compatible with different devices and supported by all the browsers. Delivered a quality application which was highly appreciated by the client.

8 A workforce management solution provider, expands market reach & raises efficiency with web based version Client: Client specializes in Time and Attendance, Rostering / Scheduling and Work Rule Interpretation Software. Its solutions have been successfully implemented in over 15,000 sites worldwide across various vertical markets. The Solution / Product being discussed, is a Workforce Management Software that provides lower staff labor costs while increasing productivity. The need: One of the most important business need, was to have an Internet based version of the product. This would not only help in expanding market reach but would also make the product cost-effective for users. Challenges: Client was looking for a highly specialized software product engineering company.they needed a partner who could work as an extended team and adhere to the solution roadmap to deliver the changes on time. Another very important requirement was to maintain exactly same design & navigation aspects of the desktop version. Most importantly, overlap with the Australian time zone was critical to ensure quick escalation & seamless communication process. The application's complex and rich UI was supposed to match with their desktop application. The team provided a solution using Kendo controls and made some changes in the JavaScript for customization of the controls. Another challenge was to provide a good performance even after having a rich UI. Solution Approach: PSI analysts and software architects developed thorough understanding of the project during requirement gathering and analysis phase. Preparation of all required documents like SRS, SDS, FDD and MPP. Team was in regular touch with the client for all document review and sign offs. The team shared URL with the client to showcase progress on every milestone achieved and work was ultimately delivered on time with comprehensive testing. Results: Successfully rolled out the web-based version of Client s Workforce Management Solution. Successfully completed all the changes/enhancements provided by client well within stipulated time. Client satisfaction results in long term association by getting more work and projects. Product redesign to incorporate Repository pattern and SOA architecture Client: The client has been supplying people and technology to the Australian Defence Force for more than 12 years. They have engineering expertise leveraged by clients operating in asset intensive industries including mining, government, safety and utilities. They are an accredited Major Service Provider on the DMOSS Panel, ISO 9001 certified and a preferred supplier to top tier firms. The need: For ease of maintenance, enhancement and extensibility in the future, the application had to be redesigned to incorporate Repository pattern and SOA architecture. Challenges: Understanding the domain, application without any design or technical documents. Segregation of business logic and incorporating SOA Architecture.

9 Solution Approach: The first step in solution approach was segregation of various layers: Generated Object models from DB tables Added data access layer and migrated all inline queries to stored procedure calls Added business layer and implemented Web Services over it Addition of Risk Management Module Addition of Waste Management module in PDA Import/Export/Upload of Assets Asset Relational diagram creation using VSTO & VISIO Web Upgrade Web enhancement to use MVC 4 Addition of new SSRS reports Results: Even though the application code was highly complex we added new features in a short time to the utmost satisfaction of the client. The first execution went as per the client requirement, which led to PSI team being expanded from three to seven by client s request for SOA Architecture implementation within the application. Risk Management module was added successfully in spite of inadequate domain knowledge. Adhered to all deadlines in spite of frequent change requests by the client.
