+  ## Challenge
+
+
+  Maximus International is a boutique organizational assessment and development
+  consultancy that offers commercially savvy, unique solutions to business. To
+  support their business they needed a HRIS web application to help manage the
+  HR Process, from initial selection and interviews to staff training and
+  performance reviews. SSW was chosen from a pool of 12 development houses to
+  produce this application based on ASP.NET 2.0, AJAX and NHibernate
+  technologies.

+
+  ## Process
+
+
+  ### Agile Development
+
+
+  We adopted an agile/extreme programming development paradigm so that we could
+  get user feedback early in the development process and react to change
+  requests quickly. A good example of this is the weekly demonstrations on
+  Friday afternoons to the client and some end users. The goals of the
+  demonstrations were to showcase the progress achieved in the current week and
+  to obtain feedback from the end users of the system. These demonstrations were
+  positively received.
+
+
+  ### Usability
+
+
+  A lot of attention was paid to the usability of the system for end users. The
+  iterative agile approach allowed us to fine tune the navigation of the system
+  so that most parts of the system were accessible within 6 clicks of the mouse.
+
+
+  We also used Microsoft AJAX technology where possible to create a more rich
+  and interactive experience for users of the system. An example of this is the
+  drag and drop organisation structure, the autosuggest search fields and search
+  screens.
+
+
+  The usability of the system has been well received from the live and pilot
+  clients of the system.
+
+
+  ### Software as a Service
+
+
+  One of the main requirements of the application was to make it customizable
+  for each client. The main areas of customization are the themes, reports and
+  business logic.
+
+  The customization of themes was achieved through Master Pages and ASP.NET
+  Theming engine.
+
+
+  The reports were customizable through custom XSL templates for each client
+  (for use with XML FO)
+
+
+  The business logic was customized through pluggable libraries for each client.
+
+
+  ## Technologies
+
+
+  The Web Application is built on Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 with a SQL Server 2000
+  backend. The persistence layer used was NHibernate ¨C although we did consider
+  using LINQ but it was too immature at that stage.
+
+
+  We also incorporated Microsoft AJAX to create a richer user experience.
+
+
+  For reporting we used XML FO and Component Art Web Charts to produce rich
+  documents that could not be done in SQL Reporting Services or Crystal Reports.
+
+
+  ## Results
+
+
+  We have received very positive feedback from the live and pilot users of the
+  system. Maximus are beginning to roll out the system to some of their clients.
+
+
+  ## Australia Wide
+
+
+  We have consultants available in all Australian capital cities including
+  Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra.
