For Tandem Telecom, we provided 13 Quality Assurance Analysts and 6 Tandem NonStop developers to augment their development effort on the Tandem TSCP 1000 platform and its associated HLR and ERAD components. Over the period of three years, U.S. Consulting was called upon to provide additional resources in technical writing, version control, and maintenance. The platform became the preeminent cellular switch and was considered a benchmark in the industry.

Victoria's Secret called on us through Tandem Professional Services to provide guidance in the form of a Tandem Architect to head up the development of their Decision Support System. The system was designed from the ground up to address issues never before handled by a NonStop system. 4 additional programmers were deployed to assist in the coding of the project, and the project was considered an overwhelming success.

Elder Beerman/Bon Ton Stores needed retail applications enhancements and upgrades in a standard Tandem environment. This project was for merger activities to combine duplicate functions from IBM to Tandem. The applications were written in COBOL and SCOBOL. Application systems enhanced included Point of Sale (POS), Price Change System (PCS), and Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN). Other tasks included technical specification research, programming, and unit testing.

Stored Value Systems in Louisville, KY, a major transaction processor of gift card and debit cards, required experienced HP NonStop systems administrators to support their growth. We were able to immediately place three NonStop administrators, each with 15+ years experience, and complete their systems management team. In addition, when their application development team required a Tandem C programming expert on short notice, we were able to provide someone on-site within two days. That consultant successfully completed the project component ahead of schedule.

Emerging Health Technologies, a healthcare technology and hospital automation company in Yonkers, NY, required an experienced HP NonStop systems and application support specialist. In addition to Tandem knowledge, this person needed to understand hospital systems and the changing Health I.T. requirements in that industry. We were able to immediately find and place an HP NonStop expert who has been consistently promoted and continues to lead their team today.

First Data, a major payment processing company (and one of the largest Tandem/HP NonStop users in the world) based in Greenwood Village, CO required specialized HP NonStop staff and consultants to support their growth and corporate acquisitions. Under extreme budget and time constraints, we were able to fill almost all of the positions we were assigned (despite being one of over 25 vendors in competition), building their HP NonStop team by four as well as providing three expert-level HP NonStop developer consultants.

Per Se Technology in Atlanta, GA, the leading provider of healthcare connectivity solutions, needed to make significant changes and upgrades to their HP NonStop applications in accordance with an upcoming mandate of HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountablity Act). We immediately provided an on-site team of several Tandem COBOL, SQL developers who were able to make the changes needed on time and under budget.

A joint telecom project by Motorola and Verizon in Branchburg, NJ required 24 hour support by experienced HP NonStop/Tandem professionals. Despite a challenging budget and schedule (which did not allow for overlap of coverage) we provided several experienced HP NonStop support experts on-site without a single minute of missed coverage through completion of the project.

A private New York business intelligence and technology integration company needed to support several international customers as they upgraded their HP NonStop based applications and hardware. They looked to us to provide a flexible solution of on-site and off-site support by one of our Tandem/HP NonStop C/Tal/COBOL development experts. We were able to provide ongoing support, and continue to be their "go-to" phone call for any Tandem /HP NonStop related requirements.

A large for-profit hospital needed an IDX/Carecast consultant for a Carecast upgrade. Created a redesign of GE/IDX's Carecast Medical Administration Report (MAR) in COBOL85, which is used by clinicians at the client's multi-site hospital network to administer all medications to "In-Patients". This includes eight Vertical Dosage Times, larger font sizing, along with Bar Coding necessary for Patient Accounting.

Created a Pharmacist ROUNDS Report in COBOL85 and SQL, showing demographic information, active meds, dosage, and allergies along with up to sixty-four specific Pharmacist Lab test results for each patient. IDX Version is 5.10.06. We also trained members of the staff with basic GE/IDX report generation tools.

GTE Telecommunication Services needed C developers to work on multiple projects to build and enhance applications containing ANSI 41 messaging (CDMA MAP). This was done on the Tandem using C development. This project included 4 of our Telecom consultants.
