Re: Case Study: How Mobility Solves Business Problems

Hi,
I would say it was a pretty good solution in order to increase the productivity and profit of the Casino.
However as the application has been developed for handholds there would be an OPTION that users get register on the bus while they are on the way by an operator with a 3g or GPRS handheld and bluetooth which can communicate with the card printer or device in order to do the registration process on the bus or at origin.

technically speaking , A highly secure encrypted connection would sort it out.

But at the end , this is just an option and the work has been done at the top is brilliant.

i would like to share another experience with you all:

Problem : Due to the requirement of a pioneer investment bank, they required remote access to their PC and trading application at work.
Issues and challenges : Due to theit strict IT policies (which i was the writer), we could not provide laptop to the traders and back office staff or to the quant department staff in order to access their calculation servers.

Solution : I came up with a very secure remote desktop solution, We implement a Secure Remote Desktop server on Solaris and put at the back of the a firewall with SSL/VPN security and all the encryption (128bit).

Result :
- The traders could trade without walking in to the office.
- Quant department continued to work at the portfolio and back testing .
- back office settled out the trading on different markets after trading (NY, London, GCC) regardless of the timing so could work on flexible schedule
- High level management would see the live status of the company by accessing to their RMS system regardless of Time and Location and Security

So far, this solution resent to flexibility of the team to access to the data and increased the productivity and profit.
According to the bank the new remote access system covered its own cost in less than a week.
