19 Case Studies (1) Mission The request was to develop a solution that can be an efficient tool to assist in communication with Leonardo employees, partners, and company management. Therefore, the software should contain elements of CRM solution. In addition, the system was supposed to be an Internet based solution, available 24x7 from any point of the world. Solutions Extended customer contact management subsystem allows maintaining detailed information on each separate customer. Time Management subsystem provides customers with an overview of upcoming events dates and places, which allows to have more optimized working schedule. Built-in web-based messaging service enables to remain in touch even being away from office. Each user gets his own personalized workspace with the features that enable : to contact other users or groups of users; to keep necessary files in personal data storage; to get regular prices updates; to review the latest news; to browse through company special offers.

20 Case Studies (2) Mission Customer required a reliable system for foreseeing of stock trades and trading strategy optimization, but being in pre-funding stage, wanted to limit the investments. Solutions The System has been designed from scratch. The system collects the trade data over the leased lines, processes and analyses it with complicated mathematical algorithms and stores in a database. The reliability and speed requirements for the system operation were extremely severe and we had to employ specific solutions and technologies for their implementation, such as distributed and parallel computing, fast algorithms, clustering. This project is also outstanding due to the fact that the company has delivered the full line of outsourcing services (total outsourcing) starting from the knowledge domain analysis, creation of functional specification and architecture, development and testing to deployment, maintenance and support Technologies Oracle 10i, C++, J2EE, EJB, JDBC, Servlets, JMS, WebLogic 6.0, JST Struts; Client part: DHTML, JavaScript, Java Applet, Swing, Java Web Start Domain Finance Page 20

21 Case Studies (3) Mission The purpose of this Application is to create a paperless environment in medical facilities as well as to store all information in central Database with an easy and convenient user interface. Solutions The software for pathologists was created. It allowed them to perform histological analysis of specimens taken from patient s body (biopsy during surgical and endoscopic procedures or tissue samples) sent to them by physicians. Following information patients` and physicians` names, images captured from microscope, diagnosis and other related information are stored in database for the following review by pathologists and physicians and for statistical purposes.

22 Case Studies (4) Mission At the Customer s headquarter the decision was made to discontinue the use of SAP at his plants. However, without SAP, there is no system or tool supporting the decision-making for the daily production planning and there is no integration between the Master Production Scheduler and Daily Line Loading planning processes. Thus the Customer wanted to develop a necessary system to support interconnection between supply and logistics plant functions. Solutions ScienceSoft has developed a production scheduling system to support the planner in the daily scheduling process (daily production planning). ScienceSoft helped the client realize its goal by implementing the following two main aspects: Splitting an incoming weekly demand into single batches and allocating these to the free workstations (work order), with a given sequence and timetable through the available production shifts and within agreed constraints and planning rules; Constituting the filling and the packaging production steps.
