CSPD Field Reporting System (FRS)
Client: Colorado Springs Police Department
Technologies: SQL Server 2000, MS.NET tools, wireless networking
Project Summary: FRS provides an electronic reporting capability to document, capture, edit, route, approve or reject, correct, store, query and report officer Case Reports and Field Incident Reports directly from officers in the field. Report Templates are defined using a sophisticated electronic imaging technology created by DSoft Technology that provides for fast and dynamic report building coupled with automated distribution of new templates upon each data synchronization. All templates and work-in-process reports are stored in local XML files. Approved reports are centrally stored within a SQL Server database for rapid retrieval and analysis. Completed reports are imaged into PDF format and permanently stored in the existing CSPD Case Management Imaging System. Wireless network components allow seamless connected/disconnected environment support. Dynamic application help, user's guide, and upgraded application release capabilities are embedded within the data sync process to allow automated full feature upgrades without physical re-deployment. DSoft Technology project responsibilities include full life-cycle software development efforts including system requirements analysis, design, prototyping, development, documentation, training, deployment, and distributed automatic upgrades. This project is a prime example of dynamic report development, data collection, and synchronization with a Microsoft database.

Pikes Peak NewsFinder™
Client: Pikes Peak Library District
Technologies: SQL Server 2000, ASP, ADO, DHTML
Project Summary: PPLD required a means to catalog and access local community news and obituary articles. DSoft Technology performed system planning, architecture, database design, and development work for the PPLD Special Collections Pikes Peak NewsFinder public web site. This site contains a secure administrative functionality to enter and modify article headlines, subjects, people, and keywords. Combining state-of-the-art search algorithms and relational database design, we maximized performance using basic and power search dynamic queries. PPLD’s Special Collections group (in the 1905 Carnegie Library) indexing project provides essential information needed to access the news article or obituary desired.

Multi-Branch Dynamic Events Calendar
Client: Douglas County Libraries (DCL)
Technologies: MySQL, PHP, Apache, Linux, DHTML
Project Summary: DCL desired an automated method to manage, control, and publish a dynamic list of library branch events directly on their public web site. DSoft Technology performed system planning, architecture, database design, and development work for the DCL Information Systems group. This web site contains branch-specific, password-protected administrative functionality to allow admins to enter and modify event times, dates, and details. Super admin permissions exists to update library branch and program data. Combining browser-independent PHP programming, DHTML scripts and relational database design, we maximized performance and flexibility by using dynamic queries to pre-load JavaScript arrays, and built client-side logic to dynamically re-display the event list based on user choices. Events can be listed for specific branches or specific programs, on a single day, week, or for the whole month. Dynamic contact and additional web link information is included. Users can print the events calendar and hang the single-page calendar-style monthly events list on their refrigerator for quick reference.

PAWS
Client: Colorado State University - Pueblo
Technologies: ASP, Oracle, PL/SQL, COM, Brio SQRm, DHTML

This secure student portal-based system allows students and faculty to search for, find, schedule, and register course loads, request transcripts, student bills, student 1098 tax information, and maintain student address and contact information -- all in real-time. Adjoining pages assist CSU-Pueblo student candidates to complete the complex application process on-line. Supported CSU-Pueblo departments include Student Services, Financial Processing, Curriculum and Academics, and Degree Planning.
