 Vigilance Enterprise Manager
Co-Designed and Developed the Vigilance Enterprise Manager (VEM), a framework designed for distributed
administration of the Vigilance Enterprise Software. VEM enables users to create and administer a Vigilance
Installation/Site. It also serves as the focal administration point for all the Vigilance Services, MTS and IIS
Component across multiple machines. Implemented as an MMC SnapIn with Distributed Services as the back-end
communicating with the SnapIn via publish/subscribe messaging and Microsoft COM.

Vigilance Validations Framework
Co-Designed and Developed the Vigilance Validations System, a framework that accepts XML specifications of
Vigilance Components and recursively validates their proper operation/status. This framework can accept various
user-dependent rules about different kinds of components like Database or MTS/COM components, which must
adhere to the hierarchical representation of Vigilance component’s structure. The framework also supports dynamic
invocation of new rules based on their XML representation. Implemented as a recursive dynamically generated graph
using XML and C++.

Vigilance Query Adapter Design
Co-Designed the Vigilance Query Adapter, a .NET Framework that would have enabled the Vigilance System to
integrate with any SOAP compliant System of Record. This Framework would have integrated with the Vigilance
Security and enabled Vigilance to apply its monitoring capabilities in a federated model (all Vigilance components
function as if they co-exist in the same domain) using SOAP calls. The framework also included the design of a Web
Dictionary, a tool that would enable users to create ‘named queries’ for accessing any ODBC compliant database or
box commercial applications such as SAP through their BAPI technology.

Vigilance Analytics
Designed and Developed the Vigilance Analytics, a product that presents a graphical view of the Vigilance Exception
Desk. With visibility in mind, Analytics provides filtering capabilities and drill-down attributes for more specific
graphical representations of the Key Performance Events (Vigilance Events/Exceptions). Analytics has also the
capability of two-dimensional representations with Time as an added third dimension. Implemented using Microsoft
COM under MTS control as the back-end and VML as the front-end GUI.

Vigilance Notifications
Member of a team that improved the functionality of the Vigilance Notification Framework, including implementing
a Group Notification framework for sending Vigilance Events to multiple users and a new Shift Based Notification
system. The Shift Based system can easily adhere to any Shift system and enable Vigilance to send Events to
different users based on time of day, personal preferences and job rotation. Implemented using Microsoft COM
under the control of Microsoft MTS. I also developed a beta version of the COM DLL Vigilance Notifications
would use for sending Events to different users via SMTP.

Vigilance SOAP Framework Design
Co-Designed the Vigilance SOAP Framework, a framework that would have enabled Vigilance to dynamically
invoke Web Service Methods based on WSDL descriptions, and apply XSLT transformations to the data returned
before submitting them to the Vigilance Services for Exception generation. In addition, part of the library would
have enabled Vigilance User Exits to invoke Web Methods and Get or Set data based on Monitor and Exception
preferences.

Wireless Vigilance
Designed and Developed the Vigilance Wireless System using WebClipping, AIM, and WML. This framework was
targeted for PalmOS and WAP-enabled phones and it involved the communication layer between COM (the
Vigilance Back-End) and ASP, as well as the integration of Vigilance with the Aether Back-End Server/Client.
