ITC Helped a Window Manufacturer To Develop an Application

To Enhance Structural And Thermal Performance

Challenge

Before the application was developed, test and simulation results were manually entered into the company’s databases, making this an error prone process. Each test report contained hundreds or even thousands of records that needed to be keyed manually by the company’s personnel. As a result of this, the company incurred in a significant labor cost from time spent doing manual data entry. Reliance on manual entry also allowed data-entry errors that could cause inaccuracies in the performance ratings assigned to individual windows & doors, potentially exposing the client to litigation.

Solution

The ITC team used Microsoft SQL Server databases and Microsoft .Net architecture to build this tool. The development languages were C# and ASP.NET. ITC put increased emphasis on project management and control and included several activities designed to increase the employee's knowledge of the App design.
