Product or Application Development is not merely a technical exercise, which can be successfully completed by anyone who has sufficient experience and skills in software technology. Equally important, if not more, is the domain experience of the development team in the relevant industry.

CIStems has a long and rich experience in developing enterprise level products and custom applications for diverse industrial segments including manufacturing, health care, banking, and telecom. The products and custom applications developed by us cover wide ranging functional areas including- supply chain visibility, manufacturing performance, financial analytics, asset visibility and tracking, billing and insurance claims for medical practices, and instant messaging and presence notification framework.

CIStems in the last couple of years has also assiduously built its strength in Business Intelligence and the associated areas that include data warehousing, dimensional modeling, and online analytic processing. CIStems is today in a strong position to leverage its experience and insights in BI, to build powerful BI solutions for its clients.

The list below is representative of our experience in specific domains.

• Supply Chain Visibility and Analytics
  
  CIStems assisted Valdero in building the Supply Chain Analytics solutions that provides deep insights into inventory, supply, and demand for an organization with global sourcing, manufacturing, and delivery model.
  
  This solution is being currently used by some of the leading high tech manufacturers like Motorola, Juniper Networks, Polycom, AFC, and Extreme Networks.
  
  
• Manufacturing Performance Analytics
  
  We are working with Informance International to develop an enterprise level manufacturing performance analytics solution that gathers the process data from the assembly line, aggregates it over the enterprise, and offers rich analytic reports that help in identifying the productivity and quality bottlenecks in the organization.
  
  This solution is being currently used by some of the leading chemical, pharmaceutical, and other process industries including Cargill, Chevron, Merck, Clorox, and Unilever.
  
  
• Financial Analytics
  
  We are developing a business intelligence solution with Harbinger TechAxes that would integrate financial, operations, CRM, and HRM data coming from several entities of an enterprise. The current emphasis is on integrating financial data.
  
  A key feature of the system is online analytic reporting on consolidated data that would meet the needs of all stakeholders including shareholders, board of directors, statutory bodies, and managers.
  
  
• Asset Visibility and Tracking
  
  Alysida has developed an asset visibility and tracking solution that can be used by enterprises to track assets across distributed sites and the movement of these assets. This solution is being used by AT&T Wireless to track its assets across sixteen thousand cell sites.
  
  CIStems assisted Alysida in maintaining and enhancing the solution over the years.
  
  
• Medical Practice Management
  
  CIStems worked with Geysers International to develop a hosted solution for single and multi physician medical practices. The application supports several functionalities including schedule management for physicians, maintenance of patient records, patient billing, and filing of insurance claims, and medical transcription.
  
  
• Business Continuity Planning
  
  eBRP Toolkit is a web-based utility permitting users across an organization to participate in the Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan Development process. Business Continuity Planning has become imperative with increasing globalization of business, advancing technology, and emergence of new threats like terrorism, pandemics, network viruses, denial of service, and hackers.
  
  CIStems is working closely with eBRP Solutions in developing this toolkit.
  
  
• TCO/ROI Analytics for Sales Team
  
  CIStems is working with Current Analysis to develop an analytic tool that will support the field executives selling office automation products. The core of the tool is TCO/ROI calculator that will enable client sales reps to demonstrate TCO, ROI and NPV to the prospects, thus providing financial data points for quick purchase decisions. Calculator will work in a hosted ASP model and will be rolled out in web, and standalone versions.

The domain experience, which CIStems has accumulated over the years, provides several advantages.

• It saves your valuable time by cutting down the time you need to spend with the business analyst as he already has sufficient knowledge of your industry.
• Reduces possibilities of functional inadequacy, incorrectness and rigidity in the system being built. Helps build systems, which are open, flexible and scalable.
• Reduces the time and effort required to deliver the system.
• Major cost savings.
