UNICEF
http://www.unicef.org/
UNICEF is the driving force that advocates and helps the welfare of children around the world. It is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly and it has more than 7,000 people working in 158 countries around the world.
UNICEF wanted to build and implement an intranet portal system for one of its regional offices. The intranet portal was to serve as a single user interface for its 50 staff that would use it to search documents, access in-house applications, perform collaborative content management, and manage other office information.
Yómarí designed and developed this intranet system from ground up, and continues to maintain it today. We used and customized a Java/J2EE based open source content management system with open XML architecture to build the system. The system makes use of a very robust role-based security system, a tight integration with other technology platforms, and a powerful content management server to deliver the functionality UNICEF expected of its intranet portal.
United Nations Development Program
http://www.undp.org/
The UNDP is the UN's global development network. It has regional offices in 166 countries, working with on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. UNDP focuses on helping countries to build and share solutions. It helps developing countries attract and use aid effectively.
UNDP needed to build two different applications that would integrate with its corporate portal system. First, it needed an application that would allow tracking and managing the skills base of its network of human resources in Asia and Middle-East region. Second, it wanted an document management application that would allow it to manage the tens of thousands of documents that it possesses.
Yómarí built both these applications using Java technologies for the underlying business logic layer. The client layer was written to be deployed using ColdFusion, the application and web server platform that is used within UNDP. The human resources skills management system is used by member organizations and individuals across a dozen countries around Asia and the Middle-East.
Nepal Electricity Authority
The Nepal Electricity Authority is a Nepal government-owned utility company that generates and distributes electric power through out the kingdom of Nepal. It generates an annual revenue of $150 million, and has over 10,000 employees in over one hundred office locations.
The NEA needed to build a central human resource management system that allowed it to maintain its 10, 000 employees distributed across the country. The system need to be heavily customized because the out-of-the-box HR management systems in the market are not able to provide the functionality and features needed to meet the bureaucratic arrangements of a Nepali government owned company.
Yómarí designed and built a fully customized HR system for the NEA using a client-server web application architecture. The system sits on a Oracle database, uses Java Beans in the middle tier to contain application logic, and has a web deployable interface written in Swing.
