A Tale of Progressive Transformation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Our client<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This large freight company provides domestic freight and import\/export services in six U.S. states. They became our client based on the successful solutions and services we provided to their sister company throughout a continuing long-term relationship. <\/p>\n

This is the fourth installment in a series showing the progressive steps of taking this client from legacy, desktop computers to a modern cloud environment. The three previous success stories are:<\/p>\n

1) A Simple First Solution Clears the Road for this Freight Company<\/strong> \u2013 We moved six, regionally siloed legacy databases to Azure Cloud, giving the client \u2013 for the first time \u2013 cloud back-up, central accessibility, and report running with a consistent view across the company.<\/p>\n

2) Freight Company Makes Return Trip for Modernization<\/strong> \u2013 Prolifics performed a low-cost analysis over six weeks of daily meetings with the client, producing a fixed-price, cloud-based modernization plan. Our extensive report, documenting every single one of the business functions in the old application, showed the client we had a real understanding of their business and how to modernize it. <\/p>\n

3) Freight Company Modernization Project Rolls On<\/strong> \u2013 While keeping their regional identities, we are consolidating the six locations into a single database in Azure using open-source code and related technologies. One focus here is on the user interface (UI) experience for employee productivity and satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Challenge<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Coming out of our client\u2019s legacy systems are six different regional databases. Every time any employee needed to access a database, they had to enter a username and password, and could only get into one system at a time. Throughout the day employees would constantly \u201clog in, log out, log in, log out again\u201d to go from region to region. This made for inefficiencies, wasted time and frustrated employees.<\/p>\n

Action<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To address these access issues, we started with a user-creation section, where an admin would enter employee information and authorize employee access based upon the employee\u2019s role and the location (referred to as an \u201cinstance\u201d). This becomes their \u201cdefault instance.\u201d An employee may then be given access to other locations based on their role, i.e., roles can change based on location or they might not have access to a particular location. Now, upon signing in just once, the employee is then able to toggle among the locations and related roles that they are authorized for \u2013 called \u201cswitch instance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Admin user creation<\/strong><\/td>\nUser\u2019s \/ employee\u2019s switch instance<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/td>\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Result<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The freight company is very happy with the solution \u2013 an employee will log in once and switch among the locations as authorized. Employees will save time and be more productive.<\/p>\n
