Long term development case studies
NHS ProjectsOver the years, Yacc Labs have been responsible for the installation, maintenance and upgrading of several NHS Trust's mission critical systems. As well as the hardware projects, we have also developed several software packages for the Trusts including: Intranet and content-management solutions and an Address Book system.
The Address Book is an Intranet-based website, using PHP and MySQL technologies, allowing a user to search for address book contacts via name, site, department and/or directorate.
Course Booking SystemThe Course Booking System is an Intranet-based website, using PHP and MySQL technologies, allowing course managers to manage course attendee details, course details, tutor details, venue details and course schedule details.
A course manager can create courses and invite system users to attend courses via email notifications generated by the system. In addition to invites, attendees are notified of any course changes and/or cancellations. Course managers can view course statistics to determine which system users have accepted, rejected or not responded to an invitation. The CBS allows course managers to automatically generate course programs for courses that need repeating over a particular time period.
System users can view a list of courses they have been invited to attend and either accept or reject the invitation. In addition, system users can book themselves on other courses which they haven't already been invited to attend.
Retained PayrollThe Retained Payroll is a client-server application, using Visual Basic and SQL Server technologies, providing the ability to manage fire brigade staff postings, fire activities and payroll details.
The user can keep track of staff information and posting details to define a staff member's location, rank and payment rates. Details of staff member involvement in fire activities can be recorded in the form of the call and return times, the duration and the activity details. From these details, payroll information can be generated at the given staff member rates.
Project Management System
Project Central is the result of the development of a project management solution - based around existing Intranet technology. This allows the conception of new projects, project discussion boards, notifications, document management and document version control. Updates and news items are delivered via email to project members and managers. A seamless link into Microsoft Word has been created to allow for document alterations and updates.
Intranet ApplicationsAn integrated Management Information System. This is a large multi-module system, linking various work streams together with core data sets-providing full reporting and associated Intranet site applications allowing remote access.
Web Solutions A Web-based EDI application for hazardous material dispatch and delivery. This links warehouses, hauliers and customers together effectively and efficiently.
