"Report
Server Project" |
| When
Dow Jones & Company wanted a solution to view data, Soft Domain
developed a solution for Dow Jones to access data from a legacy
system and generate reports in HTML format through a Web browser.
We designed a powerful and flexible solution to generate and
access reports from legacy databases, and any other database
systems they used. |
| The
ReportServer is the most efficient enterprise web reporting
solution creating presentation quality reports from any database
of choice, carrying out flexible analysis and formatting capabilities
and performing advanced interactive reporting over the Web.
It gives business users the power and flexibility to schedule
the generation of reports at any time of the day. softReportServer
automatically generates reports without any further interaction.
This feature also gives huge performance benefits when a server
is under heavy load, scheduling reports to maximize down times
on an overloaded server. We added an administrative component
as well, to allow for visual definition of reports. |
| We
are currently working with Dow Jones strategizing and implementing
a distributed news delivery system harnessing the power of the
SUN/Solaris platform across multiple servers. This project is
a re-engineering effort to replace a monolithic legacy system
based on the Tandem platform. Dow Jones has some very strict
performance requirements in this project and they depend on
our expertise in all levels of software development, from systems
to networks to applications to installation, to ensure that
we meet this requirements. |
| We
have also helped Dow Jones in re-deploying the serial communications
modules in their newsroom support system to the Linux platform.
This included porting system software from UnixWare 2.X to Linux
2.0.28, adapting the installation and configuration software
to the Linux model, and configuring and deploying the boxes
themselves. Again, Dow Jones counted on our expertise with all
aspects of software across multiple UNIX to help them in this
effort. |
| Another
Dow Jones project on which we worked is client workstations
for their financial market tracking system. This included porting
from Microsoft Windows 3.1 to NT 4.0, adding new features, including
Y2K compatibility, improving the performance, and troubleshooting.
This is yet another example of our expertise in systems software
across multiple platforms, in this case Microsoft Windows 3.1/NT
and Visual C++/MFC. |
