| United Airlines -- United Connection on the Web
|
|
United Airlines was an early leader in
electronic distribution, allowing customers to purchase tickets using a
disk-based client/server product, "United Connection." To
continue their lead in electronic distribution, United asked Flying Aces
Technology to join their WebConnection project to introduce the
functionality of "United Connection" to the Web. Flying
Aces led the effort in selecting the vendor, identifying requirements,
writing the RFP and evaluating the responses. Once the vendor was
selected, Flying Aces prototyped, designed and implemented the
gateway between the web site and United's mainframe-based
Mileage Plus system. The gateway was implemented using C, HP-UX, BEA System's
Tuxedo/Connect, COBOL and CICS.

| Smalley Steel Ring Company |
Flying Aces Technology has delivered a number of solutions for Smalley Steel Ring
Company, an innovative manufacturer.
Initially, Flying Aces developed an Engineering and Parts Catalog on CD.
The catalog allowed customers to search the more than 2000 products available from Smalley.
Customers with specialized requirements could customize the part specifications to meet their
own needs. The catalog featured a wizard that stepped the users through the customization process.
The wizard performed numerous engineering calculations including installation stress, cyclical
stresses, maximum load capacities and minimum design margins. Once the user selected their
standard parts and designed their custom parts, they could save their work or print it
suitable for faxing to Smalley's engineering staff. The catalog was written in Visual Basic,
Access and Crystal Reports and ran on Windows 3.1, Windows 95, NT 3.51 and NT 4.0.
Subsequently, Flying Aces implemented much of the CD capabilities on Smalley's Website converting the
Visual Basic code to Active Server Pages. Most recently, we implemented an extranet for Smalley's
international distributors allowing them to query inventory and order status through a secure web-interface
accessing Smalley's AS/400 data.
