Dell project has been successfully completed

We have been silent, but not unfruitful. Six months ago, Dell Inc. and Farmers Insurance have contacted us for a large project. We have been honored to find out that we have been chosen to design and develop for such a couple.
What did they have in mind? A complex asset management system which would track, in real time, all the processes regarding assets, from acquisition to recycling.



Dell and Farmers have provided us with a great team to assist us with clarification and proofing, while we have assembled a team of designers and ASP.Net professionals to get the job done properly. We have put aside the first 2 weeks to clarify certain parts of the documentation.

After the team understood the concept, the design phase began. While the wireframes and the design were being crafted, our engineers have been busy working on the database architecture and on the core of the platform.



The implementation phase began shortly after the design had been approved. So, how did it go? Richard Kumferman,, Senior Program Manager at Farmers says it best:


I couldn't let our contract end without telling you how much I have enjoyed your friendly service. Also your desire and commitment to see the project through overcoming obstacles and issues, all of which were treated with complete professionalism and good humor.

With this being said, we want congratulate the team for its efforts in completing such a challenging project.

Fotbal pentru viata II

fpv
648 Group is happy to announce the second edition of the "Fotbal pentru viata" ("Footbal for life") charity campaign. The event is meant to raise money for the 286 abandoned children that are in ProVita's custody. 14 known and rival Romanian soccer players

have left their egos aside in order to form a team that will encounter a virtual enemy called "Napasta" ("Calamity"), composed by players such as Famine, Poverty, Violence and other. In order to stand a chance in front of their adversaries, each of them will need to match their strength (and this is where donations come into play as these encouragements raise the player's advantage over of his opponent). An online auction consisting of 27 products also takes place on the website. So far, the campaign has greatly benefited from support of fans and the media. Stay tuned as updates will follow. If you are willing to support this action and help the children of Pro Vita, please use this link. The website only has a Romanian version, so if you have trouble understanding you can use the english translation provided by Google Translate.
