A/E Data Integration, Arlington, VA

AEDI was putting forth great effort in the process of collecting time sheet data from their employees. This process was exasperated all the more due to the fact that employees worked at different office locations around the Washington DC Metropolitan area. Once information was collected there was an additional effort of compiling all of the independent spreadsheets into a single repository for analysis and reporting tasks.

The DRG team crafted an online web application using ASP.NET, SQL Server and XML services technology. This system allows end users to log into the same data repository from any location providing an internet connection to provide timesheet data. The system boasts built in approval process that permits up to 3 approvals per time period. The information within this system requires no post backs in order to save the information entered, but rather utilizes XML technology to stream entered data back to the web server.
