A Keyhole team focused on developing home automation (Internet of Things – IoT) application. The application would allow users to control different actions in their home to their chosen specifications. Examples include changing a temperature on a thermostat, turning kitchen appliances off and on, etc.
This custom solution handles the management of information pertaining, but not limited to: accounts, broker relationships, policies, claims, and documents. The origins of this custom system were based in IBM’s outdated RPG set on the AS/400. The client required a more up-to-date technology stack for their claims management system. As this mission-critical system was directly linked to company profitability, all changes required strategic planning and execution.
The Keyhole Software Feature Team utilized a JSF scope (new in 2.0) called Custom Scope. As the name implies, this scope had the ability to be customized to the organization’s needs. Keyhole Software configured the scope to behave just like Session Scope, but with the key difference that each time the same user launched a new instance of the application, the application would act as if it had its very own and separate piece of the session.
A team of Keyhole Software consultants achieved the client’s goal in building this application, which was to validate that robust enterprise applications can be built successfully using HTML5/JavaScript and related frameworks. That goal was proven to be viable.
