Do You Need to Supplement Your Programming Staff?

If you are looking to temporarily supplement your staff with:

• additional programmers to meet a deadline

• a topic expert to work on a specific project that is outside of your normal day-to-day operations

• consulting experience to review an implementation you have in mind

Bruce Vining Services can be of assistance to you.

Available on either an hourly or a job basis our programming staff can provide you with the expertise that you need to successfully complete your project. All of our programmers are ex-IBM developers who are intimately familiar with application development on the System i. Areas of expertise include ILE, RPG, CL, Java, database, security, communications from sockets to web serving, systems management, and globalization.

Highly experienced, even the "junior" programmers at Bruce Vining Services have worked on the System i (AS/400) for over twenty years. Most of our staff have proven track records exceeding thirty years of development experience, going back to the IBM System/34, System/36, and System/38.

In addition to supplementing programming staffs on traditional business applications such as order entry, inventory control, and report writing we have also completed projects in areas such as:

• Modifications to existing applications to provide encryption and decryption of credit card numbers

• Modifications to existing applications to provide concurrent support for multiple national languages (English, German, Chinese, etc)

• Automation of the assignment of digital certificates to an application - eliminating the need for operator intervention when communicating with multiple external companies

• Automation of the Work with License Information (WRKLICINF) Release License (option 8 followed by option 6) function - - reducing the need for operator intervention when your company is working with a limited set of concurrent licenses

• Telnet and FTP access control to applications based on client IP address

• Application transparent encryption and decryption of Integrated File System (IFS) files (documents)

• Numerous custom tools to enhance business processing and application development

When using Bruce Vining Services you have the choice of where the development work should be performed. The work can be done:

• remotely on your system

• on site at your location

Our hourly rate is $80. Work performed at your site can involve additional charges for expenses such as transportation, hotels, and meals.
