In the Custom Business Solutions team I developed in house solutions to business problems.This was project focused work where business problems were identified, scoped and the CBS Software development methodology applied. An agile software development cycle involving identifying business requirements, documenting and developing a solution to the business problem. This involved consulation with the business, the business owner, and key stake holders.One standout product developed around 2004 was a Web based application that provided a CRM like front end to the Keystone (Aderant) Marketing Module. I developed an Oracle Stored Procedure Package, called from a VB 6 Com API, which was used by a traditional ASP web application hosted on IIS. This web UI provided tight data entry controls over the contact information and as of 2012 is still in use. It provided very clean and high quality contact data and is a very robust solution.
