Global Crop Diversity Trust

The Global Crop Diversity Trust, in a joint effort with the USDA and Bioversity, is developing a global genebank information system called GRIN-GLOBAL. The Trust needed a consulting firm which could provide both architectural expertise as well as a strong .NET developer who could work with their existing staff. This project is supported in part by a grant to the Trust from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

You may have heard of a little project featured on CBS' 60 Minutes that might save the world someday -- they call it the Doomsday Vault (aka Svalbard Global Seed Vault).  Its goal: to catalog and backup the preservation of all the various strains of seeds held in all of the world’s genebanks, in the event of loss.  The Norwegian government funded the construction of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.  NordGen, the genetic resource center of the Nordic countries, is responsible for management of the Vault.  The Global Crop Diversity Trust funds the operation and the management of the Vault.

Croyle & Associates

Circaware delivered a Call Center front end as a .NET 1.1 Windows Forms application in less than 5 days to meet this customer's deadline.

LightEdge Solutions

Being an end-to-end network service provider, LightEdge Solutions needed to both automate the provisioning of Exchange users and allow customers to administer their own email accounts, users, groups, contacts, and BlackBerry devices.

Circaware was able to reverse engineer the proper Active Directory settings and Exchange interactions and wrap them into a convenient web service. A PHP-based consumer was written to help their linux-based web portal code consume this web service

Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield

When Wellmark needed help revamping their real-time ratings engine for their public website, they called upon Circaware to deliver a fast, robust solution. Written mostly in stored procedures within SQL Server, deadlocks and timeout errors were eradicated and a caching system was implemented to minimize resource usage.

Wells Fargo Home Mortgage

On the cusp of the mortgage bubble, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage needed its internal web applications to access the mainframe with less latency, better stability, and greater throughput.

Circaware was tasked with designing and implementing this layer of code. Four months and over 100,000 lines of C# code later, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage was processing on average 15x the number of CICS transactions per day and over 10x the uptime on their servers.
