The inconsistencies in the forms made it difficult to implement projects. The process was broken down into individual steps and defined the overall objective for the SOWs. We then developed a Statement of Work application, which gathers information, populates the standardized SOW and retains the information for future use. • Harbor Technologies - The company's customer contact management system was not meeting needs resulting in a lack of control and oversight of subcontractors. Developed a Contract Management System (CMS) application that employed critical controls defined during the Business Process Management (BPM) phase of the project to ensure that Harbor's overall business goals were being met. • Homeschool Chronicles - Conceived, developed and launched a software application used by homeschool families to manage every aspect of the school environment from curriculum planning through progress tracking. Developed in VB.NET. The product was launched nationally via web and trade show marketing campaigns. Key Development Tools:VB.NET | ADO.NET | SQL | Access | Excel | Crystal Reports Show less
