Create IMG prescriptions
Editing and printing prescriptions
Managing DMIs

Mission statement

Development of a WEB application including :

Prescription entry screens with advanced search of DMIs
Printable prescription reports
A DMI management interface
An interface to administer the application and access rights

Organization

For the realization of the project, 2 persons have been allocated :

1 project manager and functional manager
1 development engineer

This contract was executed entirely with Tana Corp resources dedicated to the project.

Main characteristics of the client

Solution features

Business processes covered by the solution

Prescription of DMIs
Research and management of IMGs
Edition of prescriptions
Access rights management

What were the most difficult features to implement?

The application interfaces with certain modules of the Group’s IS (Information System) using DB2 catalogues for data storage. As there is no native DB2 client on the target platform, the solution implemented was to use ODBC drivers to connect to this type of database.

Technical platform elements

Software package, software or development languages used

After analysis of all the constraints, Tana Corp proposed the realization of a custom application, based entirely on a Microsoft :

Microsoft .Net Framework, C# language
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

Reasons for the choice

Microsoft .Net Framework with C#: development platform allowing an excellent cost/delivery time/quality implementation ratio.
SQLServer 2005 Express: high-performance and free database server, perfectly adapted to the target data volume.

Share of pre-existing developments used on which the Supplier has capitalised to complete the project

This project was carried out entirely from scratch.

Challenges and key success factors

Ergonomics : daily use of the application in a production context, speed of screens and interfaces

Business result

Today, the developed application is in production and is fulfilling its role to the full. It has received excellent feedback from users who have appreciated its ease of use.
