Client: During 2004, a leading Watford in UK based Wi Fi Network Provider appointed AMOS to deliver a Network Monitoring System. This company provides neutral host broadband wireless Internet access at a growing number of hotspots across the UK. It also provides a screen advertising service at 150 Texaco service stations mostly within the M25.

Scenario: The firm is expanding its Wi-Fi network all over UK and its main client is T-Mobile. It required a web based system that could monitor the Wi Fi access points hot spots spanning all over the UK. The system needed the functionality to remotely highlight any malfunctioning hotspot and provide monitoring reports for these access points.

Our Solution: We designed and developed a Ping Monitoring system for the company's WI-FI network, which provided a remote monitoring functionality of over 350 Hotspots with a capacity to add on more Hotspots. The system was designed to cater to the requirement of keeping a log of all the operational access points. The solution was developed using Microsoft and Macromedia technologies and was displayable on a country-wide map of the total hotspots.

Description: AMOS was involved in designing and developing a web based scalable application for monitoring of more than 350 Hot spots spanning all over UK. The application was designed to continuously ‘ping’ all the Hotspots concurrently and to provide statistics for all the hotspots. Reports generate online in real-time to monitor if any Hotspot is not operational. The application has the following components:

	Administration – providing administrators to manage user access rights, defining duty engineers and field workers against each hot spot, configure time intervals etc.
	Monitoring – providing the status of the network displaying all the access points on the map with a status shown as a green or red light.
	Reporting - providing view of the reports/history of the status log maintained by the system. to help manage user access rights by duty engineers.

Ptarmigan were using a bespoke tracking system to manage all the campaign information for media planning and buying. It realised that the current tracking system in use desperately needed some enhancements to make it more effective and efficient to meet the demands of its growing business. We at AMOS were pleased to be appointed for analysis and reengineering of the current Ptarmitracker system.

Scenario: The client had briefed us that the existing system needed some drastic enhancements with the following priorities incorporated in the re-engineered version:

	All the bugs in the application are to be rectified.
	The application is to be re-developed on the more current framework.
	System hosting/deployment to be re-planned outsourced and managed remotely.
	The technical support and System support services to be available.
	Data backup and recovery Contingency Planning is to be incorporated in the system.

Our solution: We took the following steps while re-engineering this application ensuring that our solution will be incorporated with the required enhancements that the client was looking for:

	The existing system was migrated to ASP.net technology using adaptors.
	A thorough exercise was carried to incorporate required enhancement to the old system.
	A full bug removal exercise was carried and tested on the new migrated System.
	We used the existing interfaces in order that existing user comfort is managed to its maximum.
	The ASP.net provided a major functionality and performance boost to the application with robustness, scalability and flexibility.
	Through the new ASP.net framework, the client was able to easily integrate into a number of other in-house applications in use with an ease to develop or extend other future functionalities in the application.
	The new solution provided a huge saving in maintenance cost as the ASP.net system maintenance requirements are normally lower.
	Our solution provided the hosting and remote application support to client’s requirements and was delivered on time within the agreed budget.

Description: Ptarmitracker system comprised a large number of ASP (Active Server Pages) pages that referred to SQL Server database. Much of the business logic was held in stored procedures on the database. Another software company based in London had developed the initial system. There were many bugs left in the application and no functional documents or source code was made available to us. The application was hosted by Mistral and Crystal reporting system was incorporated within the system which was not providing reports to client’s satisfaction. There was no application support provided to the client at the time we took over.

Client: During 2004, one of the Primary Care Trust appointed AMOS to develop a health care medical knowledge based portal and become a long term partners in eventually enabling all the other Primary Care Trusts in the British NHS system to use this portal on a national level. The Primary Care Trusts comprise of a wide array of individuals and institutions and this network of people needs to interact with each other on an ongoing basis for continuous improvement of the healthcare services to the patients in their regions.

Scenario: With experts from different medical domains being a part of this Care Trust network, knowledge sharing has a vital role to play in the dissemination of the right information to the right group of people. The vision of this Primary Care Trust was to harvest the knowledge of all the members of this network, and build a central repository of information that would help anyone and everyone linked to this network. This vision was derived from the views of clinical and non-clinical staff working in general practices, pharmacies, hospitals, and other establishments dealing with aspects of Medicines Management.
