Context

Energy Facility Services offers a wide range of services designed to help companies achieve their environmental, health, safety, and security objectives. To provide effective information management, the customer created a number of compliance management solutions for different industries, including ehsSUITE.

The ehsSUITE Web solution provides advanced tools, which help organizations maintain current regulatory databases and meet their compliance objectives. It offers reactive, prospective, and real-time compliance management, and alerts organizations about non-compliance issues. At one point the Customer realized that ehsSUITE became quite difficult to navigate and support, so the customer decided to redevelop it to make it more scalable and client-centric.

Solution

After thorough investigation of the source code, Iflexion suggested porting the system to more efficient technologies.

The system was originally developed with classic ASP together with COM+ server applications. We reconstructed the application using ASP.NET, incorporating new features such as a customizable navigation system, updated data organization structure, user permissions functionality, and security enhancements. The application’s GUI was redesigned to make the system intuitive and user-friendly.

We also implemented a number of new tools, such as online spreadsheets and configurable forms that allow deep customization of the data entry process.

As a result of collaboration with Iflexion, the company obtained powerful system with improved functionality founded on the premium-quality code:
