Following
on the success earlier this year, this Web-to host integration project
will offer enhanced access to tried and true university mainframe applications
August
1, 2001, Fort Lauderdale, FL - MODCOMP®, Inc. (www.modcomp.com),
a leader in eBusiness and mBusiness technology solutions and a subsidiary
of CSP Inc. (NASDAQ: CSPI), announced today that it has been awarded
a contract with Cornell University to build a Web-to-host front-end
for the university's budgeting, workforce planning and salary improvement
applications.
A recognized
expert at helping companies leverage their long-term IT investments,
MODCOMP will employ its powerful ViewMax® technology to re-engineer
the workflow and user interface of three of Cornell's mission-critical,
mainframe-based functions. The two-phase project, scheduled for early
2002 deployment, will consolidate functions, streamline views, clarify
input requirements and optimize computing and processing resources across
the old and new systems, without any modification to the mainframe.
"We
have been using our budget and planning mainframe applications successfully
for years," said Michael Whalen, Cornell University's Director
of Planning Information and Policy Analysis. "While they do a good
job of processing data, the programs are hard to learn, cumbersome to
use, and are by no means up to today's standards for usability. Because
of our past success working with MODCOMP, we knew they could build a
user-friendly, browser-based interface that will eliminate training
time, reduce data input and navigation errors, and make critical information
more accessible and usable to faculty and staff."
"We're
excited to be offered another opportunity with Cornell University,"
said Rob Crigler, MODCOMP's eCommerce division vice president of sales
and marketing. "With this project, we leverage Internet technology
to create client-side modeling which permits the testing of various
budgeting and planning scenarios within the browser before they are
integrated into the mainframe application. ViewMax eliminates the need
for expensive system replacement, full software rewrites, and error-prone
data conversions."
