Why Us | Case Studies: Custom Application Development
Since The Squires Group has partnered on many successful ERP implementations, our clients have relied on us to support them on other large IT initiatives, including Custom Application Development.
We have supported a number of Custom Application Development projects in the Mid-Atlantic region. Here are some of the recent Client Success stories:
Java/J2EE Portal Development—The objective of this project was to implement an automated end-to-end grants management solution to support a government agency and its consortium's members through the implementation of Grant Management business processes and functions. Our team supported multiple aspects of the project, including the following key initiatives during the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) process: Requirements gathering over all three phases of the project; Document and code development; Post-production and support for phases I, II and IV after they went live; Data conversion and validation; and Oracle Financials and legacy system integration.

Data Warehouse and Application Development—After Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005, this Federal Agency's mission to aid those in need called for an integrated information system that could provide a comprehensive view of the "on the ground" situation. The TSGi team was very active in various aspects of the project. Due to the professionalism and know-how of the team, a clear assessment of the technical elements required to achieve the mission was formalized and implemented. Through their work, a repeatable process with predictable results and costs has been implemented to allow disaster professionals to prioritize projects for delivery. Read More
Data Center Migration—As one of our Federal client's began to expand from their Washington, D.C. headquarters migrating their applications to a data center in the Midwest has become a top priority. TSGi supported this project by providing team of developers and analysts to work closely with business owners in providing technical support during the migration and continuity support for applications that have/are being transferred to the new data center.

Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) Data Initiative Project—The challenge was to create an authoritative data source for users within the Department. Our client required a team to construct and populate the data source, through an Extract, Transformation, and Load (ETL) process, from a PeopleSoft Human Capital Management Implementation. The Squires Group (TSGi) has been supporting this initiative for the past six years. TSGi has designed, developed, and implemented the authoritative data source initiative for the client. Read More
Open Source Application Development—The development of the assignment tables has historically been a labor intensive staffing process without visibility between various departments. The principle objective of this initiative included automating, flattening, streamlining, and increasing the accuracy and visibility of the assignment, allocation and apportionment process. The client required a team to develop this application with knowledge of this initiative and experience implementing open source systems. The Squires Group (TSGi) was involved in the development of these capabilities for the client to automate and streamline the production of a data warehouse that compiled information from various client legacy systems, as well as beginning work to automate the allocation of staff.

Several Custom Application Developments—Our client's program is part of an overall effort to share critical business and mission-relation information with key audiences including: Federal, state, and local law enforcement, foreign partners, intelligence, defense, homeland security and the private sector. The TSGi team has been supporting this project since its inception. The TSGi team was able to understand the new requirements and issues, test different components, and develop and execute test cases. Read More
