Process Automation Using SAP Materials Management Module
Project Background
SAP installations worldwide typically require support activities in terms of either implementation (roll-outs) or
application maintenance. Either type of support requires considerable manual efforts in repetitive activities.
It is expensive for businesses to maintain and pay resources to develop tools for these kind of support
activities.
The aim of the current project is to develop tools in SAP, specific to the Materials Management module which
can save money to businesses by avoiding large pool of support personnel in such repetitive activities.
The tools developed can be used as add-ons to the standard SAP features and can be utilized in both roll-
out and maintenance based installations.
This project would cover the entire life cycle activities starting from pre-studies to Integration testing of the
developed tools.

Java/J2EE Web Application Development Tool Project
VIPER is a visual web development tool that builds web applications from a business model perspective,
meaning that you begin by defining your object model first, then further specify the properties and behavior of
those objects.
VIPER is based on the Sun Microsystems Java EE platform, which means that all applications built with
VIPER are also Java/J2EE based.
The underlying Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can be openly leveraged by your applications.
The applications you build with VIPER automatically support SSL. Applications built with VIPER have
scalability, performance and security benefits of the J2EE platform. It employs a completely open
development paradigm that allows you to integrate your VIPER applications with new or existing systems in
a loosely-coupled manner.

SNMP Agents Based On The Global Positioning System (GPS)
In the early 2006, the company spearheaded the development of the first embedded system when it saw the
opportunity to complete its range of SNMP agents based on the Global Positioning System (GPS). This
small device would transfer data using handheld GPS receiver/transmitter combined technology.
The advantages of the GPS-based device were clear. In addition to providing the necessary level of security ,
the compact solution could be priced for smaller businesses and technology enthusiasts. Furthermore, a
GPS-based device would avoid a significant part of an expensive maintenance programme every Data
Storage system must undergo.
Accuracy and reliability of data would be paramount. An important part of the market for the GPS-based
storage devices, is GPS owners, small businesses. To achieve such precision and integrity, the device’s
software environment would have to support accurate and secure transfer without data loss. It meant the
environment required hard real-time processing power to ensure the seamless integration of measurement
data from many different sources.
It was also important the environment integrate with the CPU module on the device’s microprocessor
quickly. The business cases for new products largely depend on speed to market. Speed maximizes the
product’s market impact and helps avoid the kind of development costs that hurt the competitiveness of a
product’s pricing model. The demands on the software for the GPS-based storage were obvious.
