PWI Announces Completion and Production Rollout of IEEE Workflow Application

RED BANK, NJ—July 15, 2008—PWI, Inc., (http://www.pwicorp.com) a provider software design, programming and support services today announced the completion and production rollout of a custom software application for the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.). PWI was selected in October of 2007 to build a new Fellows Scoring Program that would deliver a flexible and intuitive mechanism by which judges may submit evaluation scores for IEEE Fellow candidates.

The IEEE Fellows Scoring Program is an integrated component of the Enhanced IEEE Fellow Nomination Process and enables judges to enter and analyze scores for multiple nominees within a single view as opposed to the single nominee entry capability that existed in the Lotus Notes based application previously in production. Improved ease-of-use, efficiency and flexibility comprise the primary business case factors that drove the software development initiative. The new program also ensures improved fairness and accuracy in the Fellows candidates scoring process.

According to PWI CTO, Dr. Konstantin Malkov, the IEEE Fellows Scoring Application leverages a combination of Java-based technologies. “Utilizing the Sun Java Studio Enterprise development platform, PWI will deliver a three tier Java-based application supporting the BEA WebLogic application server platform. The Front End is browser-based and utilizes Java Server Faces (JSF) and Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax).  The middle tier was constructed using the Java Spring Framework, JSF beans and Hibernate. Oracle 9i was selected to support the Database tier,” he explained.

“We are delighted to help deliver this important initiative for IEEE,” said Greg Salvato, PWI CEO. “The solution provides a more efficient and equitable platform for IEEE Fellows to evaluate candidates and demonstrates PWI’s ability to provide high value business process and workflow solutions to increasingly demanding professional organizations.”

The software development initiative began in October of 2007. PWI provided software design (requirements and technical specification), development, testing, and Quality Assurance services. The Fellows Scoring Application was project was completed on time (within nine months) and within budget and installed into the IEEE production environment in early July.
