Department Collaboration Intranet [Legal]

Ontario City

Challenge:

Develop a Knowledge Management system to maximize the value of research

performed by the city’s Legal team while also improving collaboration between

team members and assistants.

Solution:

M.R.S. provided the City’s Legal Department a highly automated process to

capture, catalogue, search and access case information to make informed

decisions based on facts, precedents and lessons learned.

Technology:

The solution leverages SharePoint’s Enterprise Wiki capabilities and includes

integration with a 3rd party tool for converting pdf documents to HTML.

Features included the ability to store, search, annotate, share and reproduce

previous court decisions in support of case preparations.

B2B Portal Solution compliance with PCI DSS standards

Health Care DistributorChallenge:

The customer needed to update an existing customized WebSphere Commerce B2B

portal to comply with PCI DSS standards. The traditional approach would have entailed

extensive time & effort to upgrade their existing platform and complete the PCI

compliance audit.

Solution:

As an alternative to this costly upgrade and audit process, M.R.S. integrated their B2B

portal to a PCI compliant 3rd party service that uses tokenization to handle the highly

sensitive payment card information.

Technology:

M.R.S. developed a series of custom web services and .Net applications and leveraged

the client’s existing SQL Server and DB2 databases. Full integration between the

legacy WebSphere Commerce platform and the 3rd party tokenization service was

achieved within this secure and reliable custom solution.

Learning & Member Interaction Program

Industry Governing EntityChallenge:

The client’s existing Learning Program technology and Membership interaction

processes had fast become outdated and cumbersome. The architecture did not allow

for easy changes and the application lacked flexibility, ease-of-use and features to

support the client’s Industry Accreditation Programs.

Solution:

The client selected M.R.S. to deliver a new web medium to support the needs of its

growing base of User / Members. M.R.S. was commissioned not only to develop the

technology, but to ensure that the new system was scalable, flexible, feature rich and

user friendly.

Technology:

The M.R.S. solution was built using SharePoint /.Net and SQL Server. Features

included online submission of assignments, marking and mentoring functions,

discussion boards, surveys and a host of such critical processes.

SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 Upgrade

Canadian ManufacturerChallenge:

The Client’s mandate was to upgrade his SharePoint 2007 environment

to SharePoint 2013 including documents, portals, calendars and

reports.

Solution:

M.R.S. SharePoint experts assumed the responsibility to plan and

execute the strategic deployment of the client’s SharePoint 2013

environment.

Technology:

As there was no direct migration path between the two releases, M.R.S.

leveraged its expertise with previous and current versions of

SharePoint to execute a stepped upgrade process to deliver a robust

SharePoint 2013 environment.

Cardholder Rewards Affinity Program

Financial InstitutionChallenge:

The client’s Card Services Division required a “Customer self-serve portal” to provide their

card holders exclusive access to special reward offers and affinity programs that the client

planned to make available from time to time as part of their value-added services.

Solution:

M.R.S. was engaged to design, develop, deliver and support a series of custom websites

serving as the hub to support the client’s card marketing initiatives. The application

empowered card holders to redeem travel rewards points for Flights, Hotels, Vacation

Packages, Lifestyle Rewards, Gift Cards and Merchandise directly on-line and on-demand.

Technology:

The custom solution was developed using .Net Portal and SQL Server database. It included

a custom interface & integration with 3rd party Travel Booking Services and other Client

and 3rd party sites. Subsequent to deployment, M.R.S. was retained to provide 24 x 7, 2nd

level support services.

ECE Video Observation System

Canadian College InstitutionChallenge:

The base concept was to provide a live video connection between the classroom and an

actual functioning Daycare facility so professors and students could view the interaction

between the daycare staff and the children under their care to further advance the overall

education experience.

Solution:

Prior to engaging M.R.S., the client’s ECE Faculty had already completed the proof of

concept. They selected M.R.S. as their trusted IT partner to bring this conceptual vision to

reality and to add significant functionality and scope to the application. The client also

needed assurances that their IT vendor of choice would provide ongoing enhancement as

their needs evolved.

Technology:

M.R.S. built a custom .Net solution including interfaces to AV equipment such as cameras,

video hubs and microphones. It includes a custom developed Security module fully integrated

into the client’s Active Directory Service and features a custom Video portal for stored video.

Custom Business Intelligence Solution

Non-Profit OrganizationChallenge:

As a non-profit organization with four national offices, our client was looking for a

simple, time sensitive solution to produce analytical reports dissecting their campaign

performance and results. The solution also assists them in managing internal resources

and campaign donor information to better plan / forecast future Fund Raising initiatives.

Solution:

The client retained M.R.S. Company Ltd to deploy a SharePoint Solution to produce

timely, analytical reports that provided them with increased analytical capabilities,

deeper collaboration, stronger business insight and enhanced performance and

transparency.

Technology:

The organization decided that a new IT foundation leveraging SQL Server, SharePoint

and ProClarity Analytics would be the best fit based on cost, scalability and key features

include collaboration and performance management.
