Annexure B - TERMINOLOGY

(1) VX View – VX View is a Vas-X Product built in ASP.NET using C# DOT NET

Framework 2. Development of VX View is done in MS Visual Studio 2005. The back end of VX View resides on an Oracle database & the interaction with the database is accomplished with T-SQL. The VX Vie system is a very complex intranet with intense functionality for any telecommunications company. The Prepaid Company (a division of Blue Label Telecoms in Sandton) used the VX View System to generate airtime vouchers for Vodacom SA as well as voucher for prepaid life insurance (A product by Hollard). Once a user buys an airtime voucher at the retailer store, he enters the code into the mobile phone. VX-View waits for these requests from the users. Once VX-View receives the code, it searches its database for that specific generated code. Once the code is found, the user’s mobile is topped up with the accompanying denomination such as R29.00. After this process has been completed the generated code is deleted from the database and is once again available to be generated with a new denomination.

(2) Qmuzik Training Portal – I am currently developing a training portal for the Qmuzik

system which enables users to download different documents regarding the Qmuzik system & take examinations after their training has been completed. All the data is stored in a SQL Server 2005 database. The system also contains reports to be written in MS SQL Reporting Services. The front end of the system is written in ASP.NET & C# DOT NET Framework 2. MS Visual Studio 2005 is used.

(3) Qmuzik – Qmuzik is an enterprise resource Planning Application which does pretty

much everything managing orders to employees to financial information. The front end of Qmuzik is done in Windows forms and the back end in C# DOT NET Framework 2. The data of Qmuzik is stored on a server which contains the database. This is a SQL Server 2005 database. SQL server 2008 currently in testing with the Qmuzik system. Qmuzik also use two different report technologies such as MS SQL Reporting Services & MS Crystal Reports 8 & 11


(4) Qmuzik Support Management System (QM SMS) – QM SMS is a version of the

Qmuzik Training Portal with lots of other features specifically designed to cater to help on-site support personnel as well as personnel in a call centre environment. QM SMS allows for multiple companies to be added to the system with the ability to keep track and support multiple applications under a given company. QM SMS has a built in training module where training can be scheduled for all the different applications for a specific company. All company employees are listed on the system under their respective company. The system also has a release note management module which allows tracking of application hotfix’s and updates. This gives the support personnel the ability to track which system changes have been made over a selected period. QMSMS has a document management module to help support personnel as well as training personnel to manage training material and system release notes.

(5) QM Hotlist – The QM Hotlist application was developed for a production environment

in the aerospace industry. The QM Hotlist application will look at all open orders for aero structure parts and schedule them for production accordingly. Let’s say order 0000001 and order 0000002 is two different orders for two different clients but the part that needs to be manufactured by these orders is the same part. Keeping in mind that both orders are late, the QM Hotlist application will then calculate which order needs to be addressed first by seeing that order 0000001 is on operation or step 2 (manufacturing just started) and order 0000002 is on operation or step 7 (almost complete). The application will then inform the workers to first complete order 0000002 and get it shipped to the client. This results in faster production times.

(6) Denel Land Systems Intranet - The Denel Land Systems Intranet was developed to

fulfil an internal need for the business where users could collaborate with each other, write articles and be social. The intranet had custom blog functionality, internal company advertising where employees can sell items they don’t need along with all of the standard intranet functionality. The Denel Land Systems Intranet is a custom web application which I developed in C# and ASP.NET running on a Microsoft SQL Server database.

(7) Qmuzik Roll-Out - The Qmuzik roll-out application was developed to install an

updated version of Qmuzik. Qmuzik is a windows forms installable application. A problem emerged with a new version of Qmuzik which we had to roll out. The problem with this particular version of Qmuzik was that the previous version had to be completely uninstalled from the user’s machine before the new version could be installed. Plans by the IT department was to get two technical people to uninstall the application and install the new version. The timeline for this was 3 months. I requested 2 days to do some research. Within those 2 days I developed an application which the IT department could push to each user’s machine. The user would then reboot their machine and the Qmuzik roll-out application would execute and do a silent uninstall of the old version of Qmuzik and a silent install of the new version of Qmuzik. The roll out was completed in 3 Days instead of 3 months.

(8) ATI – Automotive Transport Information scans vehicle barcodes at the security gates

at some of DHL’s automotive clients. Vehicles and trailers are scanned in and out upon arriving and leaving the sites thus tracking their travel information and calculating how long they have been on a trip and compares it to benchmark values. Reports and dashboards then shows information and metrics based on the driver, vehicle, depot and trip so that planners and management can make informed decisions and take action on


certain issues based on accurate data. ATI was available on 2 platforms which is web and an application on windows mobile barcode scanner devices.

(9) RAT 2.0 - RAT 2.0 is an IT asset tracking software. DHL had a huge problem in their

warehouses when it came to the tracking of IT assets such as notebooks, printers and especially barcode scanners. It was always unclear who the asset was booked out to, whether or not it was booked in for repairs or where in the warehouse the asset was floating around. RAT 2.0 solves this problem by accurately tracking assets. An asset is booked out to a user and inspected when the asset is returned and booked in. This also prevented users from booking out a device, borrowing it to a friend and having the friend return the device in a non-functioning device. This resulted in finger-pointing as to who broke the device. RAT 2.0 solved this problem as the user who booked out the device is responsible and liable for the device he or she booked out.

(10) ISR – Internal Service Recording is a time recording system which enables users to

track the time they spend working on projects and services against billable clients. ISR was built to ensure accurate billing for projects and services to the client.

(11) Circa - Circa is a time management system that was required by the business to

motivate the appointment of additional resources within the IT space. It was apparent that most of the divisions within the IT department was not fulfilled resource wise. Management required motivation that the IT department needs to employ additional resources to process the workload more efficiently. The Circa system was built to fill this gap. Employees would capture the time that they spent working on projects, what they had planned and what their projected timelines were. By building reports on the captured data, in about 3 months, a trend appeared and management was able to pinpoint where additional resources were required within the department to manage the workload more efficiently.


Annexure C - OTHER PROJECTS

I have done personal projects in ASP.NET, Windows Forms, C#.NET, Adobe Flash, Adobe

Photoshop, as well as WordPress CMS and iPhone and iPad Application development.

Furthermore I have developed quite an interest in micro-computing and electronics and

development such as the Raspberry Pi and Arduino which I have used for a couple of

personal projects.

In WordPress CMS I have installed and designed complete websites as well as maintained

the sites and updated with rich fresh content.

Q for All:

Q for All is a ticket management/Queue management system which manages customer flow

in store for MTN franchises. Q for All has multiple functions such as storing data regarding

stores, users, customer tickets etc. Q For all functions on user roles putting the

administrators in control of which functions the end users may or may not use. Other

functionality such as instant messaging within the organization, company notifications and

manager call outs have also been implemented into Q for all for fast and effective

communication between the organization, its employees and between divisions.

Q for All’s integrated business reports makes it effortless to keep track of the important

things within the organization. Examples of this would be customer tickets resolved per day.

Over a short period of time the business owner will be able to see a trend of tickets that were

resolved per employee. This will allow the business owner to evaluate and pick up the

weaknesses as well as strength within the organization.
