Internet Projects
Below are some examples of large internet projects I have worked on, unfortunately these projects are on closed internets (MOD - Ristricted Lan Interface, Government e-Gateway Interface) so are not available for public viewing.
Both these projects were pilot schemes used for proof of concept, to show that modern internet frameworks and programming techinques would work well in very large organisations, without compromising security and control.
These projects have advanced much further, and the organisations involved have embraced these software techologies with enthusiasm.
I was a Senior Project Manager, on these projects. Involoved in all aspects from design, build and application, on through to implimentation and training.
TEMO has now been absorbed into de&s, and is now the Test Equipment (TE) team. On completion of this first phase developement the MOD awarded this project a "Purple" status, this was a way of informing any other parts of the MOD that if they were considering similar projects that the methods and technologies used in this project had proved to be very sucessful.
Background
The Test Equipment Management Organisation (TEMO) is the first true Tri-service organisation and is responsible for the management of the calibration and maintenance of almost 17,000 lines of test equipment. A key TEMO responsibility is to streamline the control of the calibration and 
maintenance of test equipment across Navy bases, numerous Army units, and almost 60 RAF bases worldwide. Central to this control was a reliable asset tracking system with a high visibility of global asset data, also of paramount importance was the high visibility of controlled documentation relating to many facets of Equipment Calibration and Control and the reduction of costs in the production and maintenance of this documentation.
The present working practices for the three services were based on legacy systems holding inconsistent data and supported by many paper based systems.
Solution
The solution implemented for TEMO involved the design and construction of distributed Test Equipment Asset Tracking system known as TE-Track, designed and built using up-to-date OOP programming techniques, and a high profile MOD-Web Intranet site called TEMO-Web to store consolidated asset information automatically updated from each TE-Track site. The consolidation updates are performed using XML communications. 
TEMO staff can maintain all 'global' information for TE-Track, such as Asset Types, and when changed centrally, are automatically sent back out to all TE-Track sites. TEMO-Web acts as a central point for access to all distributed asset information. Importantly, all controlled equipment documentation is published on TEMO-Web via automatically produced Adobe PDF documents. TEMO-Web is the 'master' for the dissemination of this documentation and represents a considerable cost saving for the MOD.
TEMO-Web also allows for the following: -
• Content Management (the site can be changed and managed without using a Web Site design tool) • Flexible searching for Assets • Full text searching of all documents (including proximity searching) • Online site statistics reporting • Online (and remote) maintenance of all site data
The Results
The TE-Track and TEMO-Web combination are cost effective developments that significantly reduce the considerable expense associated with Test Equipment Management and have enhanced the reliability and availability of crucial Asset information.
Background
The UK Government has stated "that all government departments should offer internet access to Government resources by 2007", as part 
of this Government led initiative DANI was chosen as the first agency to pilot this initiative in Northern Ireland. It was decided to pilot a scheme in EU funding as well as DANI funding for farmers and SAPS was chosen. The UK Government as formulated a framework (e-Government) for all departments to use when undertaking any on-line schemes, unfortunately this is based around the transfer of XML form information, but DANI wished to allow access to data direct across the web similar to B2B practice adopted by business.
Solution
The solution adopted was to write a simple web interface to allow authorised user, using the e-Government Digital Certification process, to access the web server directly and process (in real-time) data directly from the web. For the integration to the e-Government framework to work seamlessly XML, XSL & XSD Schema's were used to propagate to the e-Government gateway the information it required.
Using ASP,HTML,HTTPS & XML two web applications were built. The first application was for the farmers to enter all claim information into the databases'; the second application was for non-user, automatic, 
direct XML transference of necessary information to and from the Government Gateway System. All users wishing to use the system had to be registered with the NI Rural Portal and from there were allowed secure access to the backend web server to process the on-line data, these actions in turn generated automatic XML responses to and from the Government Gateway.
The Results
This was a pilot scheme to test principles, and proved very successfully that Internet technology is the way forward. DANI are now about to re-write all their internal systems to browser technology and have both plans and budget approval to roll out ALL other grant and subsidies schemes to the Internet.
