Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department

Client Web Site
The NKIDHD is part of the state of Kentucky health departments, and provide many health services throughout the area. I was contracted to rewrite their online health service reporting application to be easier to use and a more standard web experience. I have also been contracted to integrate this work into a new intranet that gives employees better access to administrative information, reducing time taken with common information.

Features of their intranet include news and announcements, categorized document downloads, display and searches of employee and organization contacts, and integration with their Exchange calendars for scheduling meeting rooms.

TRACK America, LLC

Client Web Site
TRACK America provides GPS-based transport tracking and conditional alerting, primarily for the rail and trucking industries. They are a young company with a strong goal to help companies track their goods. One valuable aspect of their business is to alert when transports carrying hazardous materials are entering the Homeland Security-defined High Threat Urban Areas, and also to alert if such transports have been stationary and loaded beyond their safety dates.

I was hired to build on the efforts of previous developers, as well as work closely with the current engineering contractor. We have helped bring the product to market, and are actively improving the application to be even more modular, capable of being used by many industries.

AccuNet

Client Web Site
Accunet is a Microsoft reseller, specifically supporting Microsoft Business Solutions Dynamics line (previously named Solomon and Great Plains) and CRM. They have hundreds of national clients, and offices in major Ohio cities.

I worked closely with AccuNet-Cincinnati while consulting directly for CoActive Marketing Group. I have also helped AccuNet with work for their other clients, including development of a stand-alone Solomon module using Solomon Tools.

CoActive Marketing Group

Client Web Site
CoActive Marketing Group is a leader in print, event and interactive marketing, with offices in New York, Cincinnati and San Antonio.

I was contracted by the Cincinnati office to help convert their custom accounting software (which was, by the way, very good) to Microsoft Solomon. To accomplish this, I had to learn the fundamentals of Oracle P/SQL, rapidly understand both Solomon and my client's accounting needs, and work with the New York consultants (at that time, it was ePartners. CoActive changed to AccuNet a couple of years later). I wrote a sophisticated data import program to manipulate the exported Oracle data, so that data could be imported without fear of duplication. I also heavily customized the Solomon purchase order screen, and created several custom Crystal reports.

After the conversion, CoActive retained my services for two years, during which time I aided them in day-to-day operations and support, many more custom reports and screens (including a web-based forecasting tool), and transitioned other CoActive companies into Solomon.

Since the Solomon project, CoActive has contracted me to help with over twenty web site projects using both standard ASP and ASP.NET.

Graphet, Inc. is a Cincinnati-based energy consulting company, who specialize in helping industries implement sustainable energy conservation. More than just "saving on energy today", Graphet provides industries with tools and techniques to conserve energy over time, utilizing a focused, fact-based approach.

I was engaged by Graphet to help them centralize and organize their client energy data, as well as develop utilities and methods for data import and export.
