11. Project : PMS for Passageways, USA

December, 2002 -  March, 2003

Worked from : Mumbai, India

Passageways Corporation, USA, offers a portal suite of software built in. NET technologies which is used as an Intranet for mid sized businesses in the United States. The framework is built in such a way that additional functionality is plugged in the existing software to go on increasing the features in the system. Passageways wanted a comprehensive project management tool to be built in along with its existing application.

The aim of the project was to develop a Project Management tool as user controls which could be plugged into the existing Passageways application. He took the initiative in building a database design extensible enough to be called as a Process Management Tool rather than a Project Management tool. The design was such that the application could be utilized for managing any process in any industry.

Starting with a innovative database layer design, this project uses some concepts which are used for the first time in any database layer developed for the Microsoft Platform. In as much, being totally database independent being a innovative feature or for that matter the fact that the stored procedures are generated totally by the program itself, the best feature of this system is that, the database layer while returning data returns an object for each database table. The object contains the data as elements of an array. The class for this object is generated totally at runtime and the program writes the C# code file to disk and adds this new file to the C# project. And all this takes place dynamically at runtime. There is no other database layer in the world which works in this manner.

Design and Implementation of framework in C# which will automatically, detect, sort and create database records for new web pages in the web application.
Design and implementation of caching in the database layer that is totally invisible to the middle layer code.
Design and Implementation of System Memory Monitor C# code which monitors the memory utilization of the machine and performs caching to a maximum of 30% around the average memory utilization.
Co-ordination with onsite project manager for the entire duration of the project.
Leading team members towards successful implementation of the project.
