Some examples ...

DealerTrack, a leading provider of web-based automotive data
services with the industry's largest online credit application
network, was experiencing a case of indigestion after its acquisition
of an array of companies and products. They hired Base One to devise a strategy for integrating
their entire line
of software-as-a-service offerings, with the objectives of
sharing common data between applications, supporting multiple database
products and operating system environments, and improving scalability,
response time, reporting, and security. Base One proposed an
architecture for the new "DealerTrack Common Platform", consisting of
core programs, common database structures, and a collection of
standardized Web Services. The favorable reception of this work led to
DealerTrack's further engagement of Base One in the detailed design
and implementation of key portions of the new system. Using our
expertise in .NET and Base One's B1Framework, we developed customized
database, security, and server configuration libraries that are
central components of the new DealerTrack system, supporting the
latest Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, and SAP technologies. |

Fidelity National Information Services, a Fortune 500 firm engaged in trading and syndication of loans and
complex financial instruments, was experiencing severe performance
bottlenecks that threatened its ability to settle trades efficiently.
Base One analyzed and programmed changes to their
web-based loan settlement system, based on ASP.NET / C# / AJAX
technology, which provides a real-time environment for buyers and
sellers to create, review, approve, and execute legal documents. As a
result of implementing Base One's modifications for streamlining
workflow and enhancing database concurrency, the company averted an
imminent crisis and charted a course for coping with a rapidly growing
volume of business. |

Datran Media, a leading performance-based email and digital media marketing company,
hired Base One to build them a new application for web-based tracking,
analysis, and reporting. Using ASP.NET in combination with Base One
software, we designed and implemented a system that has yielded a
ten-fold improvement in their ability to rapidly evaluate the
performance of various
marketing trials.

SWN Communications (sendwordnow.com),
a provider of emergency notification and incident management services,
contracted with Base One to analyze their current application and develop
plans for a new, more scalable architecture. The new system required
instantaneous fall-back among multiple processing locations,
with an allowable downtime
of just 10 seconds per month and the need to handle peak transaction
loads of thousands per second. Base One's work was instrumental toward
the company's securing substantial further investment.

MLU Services, one of the companies involved in the
Hurricane Katrina disaster recovery effort, sought help from Base One
in managing the installation and maintenance of thousands of trailers and mobile
homes. Our consultants provided timely assistance in evolving from a manual,
spreadsheet-based system to a contemporary web-based database architecture. The
resulting new system is capable of handling large-scale usage and
meeting stringent government
reporting requirements. With Base One's help, the company has become a prime
contractor to FEMA.

EDIMS (Emergency Department Information Management Solutions), an organization of 160
physicians, urgently needed to fix problems in their emergency room
patient information system, installed at hospitals in the New York /
New Jersey area. Their current system, based on .NET WinForms and SQL
Server and developed at multi-million dollar expense, was experiencing
deadlocks, memory leaks, and severely limited performance. Base One
analyzed the system's design and identified a number of specific
causes, which quickly led to substantial improvements. The company
then sought our further assistance for a more extensive redesign aimed at
developing a commercial product.
