Faced with valued employees that were relocating, or needed
to work from home, the challenge for MSS was retaining workers who made ongoing contributions
to vital customer relationships. MSS needed a way to extend complex custom applications to
reach these employees and seamlessly integrate their activities with on-site operations.
To achieve this goal, Movers Specialty Service turned to Binary Research.
A critical task for Binary Research was to prevent on-site and remote users from interfering
with each other while updating a job simultaneously. To achieve this, real-time record locking -
a difficult and delicate process with remote database operations - was essential. Other
challenges included delivering job information and related document image data quickly via the
Internet, and preserving system ability to endure high volume and intense data demand during peak
season. |
