Gulf Atlantic consultants participated in a PeopleSoft EPM implementation at the Washington Post.

We've done whole bunch more that we can list for this client...

For 2004 and 2005, One of our senior architects participated in the development of a Marketing Segmentation Database for a BMC. The innovation here is the database is integrated with Siebel, Oracle Financials and Vignette Dialog (formerly Revenio Dialog). Our consultant was directly responsible for almost 20% savings in the total project budget due to economies gained by careful design and deployment of hardware and software infrastructure. In addition, an extra 10% of value was realized over and above base line services due to innovative architectural design.
In 2004, we enjoyed developing and maintaining Epiphany CRM solutions for various clients across the United States and Canada, including Harley-Davidson and COGECO Cable, Inc.

In 2000 and 2001, we built a web based Structured Negotiation system for the buying and selling of hard to find computer parts for Vertical Net and Converge. Part of that effort was the initiation and completion of re-factoring the MS-Java based application to an early J2EE platform.
One of our senior database architects spent part of 1999 and 2000 working for Revenio. Our consultant was the original database architect for the Dialog product (now Vignette Dialog). Our contribution included creating the initial data model, along with the physical implementation in Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

Next, we created 2 data warehouse solutions: One for marketing and one for finance from direct sales and warehouse data.
dbIntellect (a part of EDS), only hired the TOP 1% database and programming talent in the industry. One of our consultants was honored to be included in this cut. He participated in a team that designed and developed a direct marketing database solution for an EDS banking customer. Then he had the pleasure to re-architect the customer's call center and then link the call center, marketing database and legacy systems into a custom CRM solution.
We spent quite a bit of time working with Tandem Computers on many projects. One of the more interesting projects was to re-architect MasterCard's funds transfer system. The application was moved from IBM Series 1 to the Tandem NonStop platform.
