Last project: The last project Group W delivered to Big Sky Technologies was a DLL that allowed Big Sky's Remark! platform to be integrated with Cisco System's TAPI offereing for VoIP. Big Sky needed this capability to provide a link between their NMS-based system and the wider market for VoIP.
Included in this project was a pair of DirectX audio filters -- one for playing and one for recording. These filters allowed Big Sky to render and capture streaming audio to NMS boards.
Last project: The L.O.V.E. project required developing a Visual Basic desktop client which communicated with a separate hand-held application (developed internally by Boeing).
Prior to the LOVE project, Group W developed an HPC application for an earlier McDonnell-Douglas project.
One of Group W's founders developed an IVR interface for ElectroSavings' banking system. The IVR portion was based on VBX boards from NMS and ran on an OS/2 server.
When ElectroSavings updated its computer systems, they called Group W in to adapt the interface to the new system.
Group W has had a long association with Monsanto Company and many Group W people have worked on a number of different Monsanto projects.
The latest project at Monsanto Company was to integrate a LIMS (developed internally) with an SDMS (scientific data management system) purchased from NuGenesis Technolgies.
Last project: The last project Group W delivered to NMS Communications was an H.323 gateway for Microsoft's NetMeeting. The gateway allowed NetMeeting users to place calls to telephones from their desktops, or to answer calls from telephones at their desktops.
Prior to the H.323 gateway, Group W developed a TAPI Server Provider (TSP) for NMS's TAPI offering.
Group W has also had a long association with Solutia, which was a part of Monsanto Company before being spun off as a separate entity.
The latest work Group W performed for Solutia was to develop some supporting software for Solutia's system for managing engineering drawings.
When the St. Louis Public Schools was preparing for a referendum on school taxes, Group W developed a "dial and deliver" IVR system which automatically canvassed St. Louis voters in favor of the referendum.
SLPS provided studio-recorded voice from community leaders along with a list of qualified telephone numbers. Group W delivered an IVR application and a portable server (with NMS board) for the duration of the canvassing project.
TALX Corporation began by building its own telephony interface hardware. TALX also developed TALXWare, an application-generator for its hardware platform. TALXWare was widely used by TALX customers.
When TALX decided to switch to a hardware vendor and picked NMS Communications, Group W was chosen to develop a layer of middleware which allowed TALX to run TALXWare applications on NMS hardware without changing their applications.
This middleware was named VP/NMS and it ran on OS/2 servers and was based on NMS's ME/2 SDK.
Group W completed two projects for TeleVox software during the 1990s when TeleVox was using NMS VBX boards and Windows 95/98 for its customer-owned systems.
The first project was ActiveVBX, an ActiveX control for VBX hardware that worked much like ActiveAG for AG boards. ActiveVBX was based on the VDI32 SDK from NMS.
The second project was a Windows NT4 driver that allowed TeleVox to use its inventory of NMS VBX boards on systems running Windows NT. VbxNT4 allowed TeleVox to run its Windows 98 applications on Windows NT systems with no changes required.
TeleVox now runs a large call center on NMS AG boards. That call center application uses ActiveAG and ActiveMVIP.
Group W led the team that developed Three Rivers' first web-based version of its CAMS software. The browser-based user interface was developed by Three Rivers staff, while Group W people:
Last project: porting Trekmail's IVR application for recording voice attachments to e-mail messages. The original TrekMail system used VisualVoice running on Dialogic boards. Group W ported that application to ActiveAG running on NMS Communications boards. Trekmail runs PRI (primary rate interface) ISDN trunks at its call center.
