Where is that hovercraft?

EVer wonder where your favorite jeans are? The closet? The laundry? In a pile on the floor?

The Polar Continental Ice Shelf Program does too. They need to keep track of all inventory that's been lent out to various scientific expeditions in the arctic circle. And they've been using the same software built using FoxPro since before year 2K.

Ouch. That's old.

That's where I come in. As an IT consultant helping build the new inventory software system:

  • Business analyst and project management liason
  • Building custom reports for inventory management
  • Customizing proprietary software for internal use
