Omegatech is excited in taking part in the Android phone revolution.  The android revolution of smart phones has astounded the market.

Application downloads from the Android App store growing by a rate of one billion per month.

Android phones have taken market share over Apple - if your thinking smartphone development you must now provide for both apple and android phones.

So, if you've missed the rise of the Android follow the story here

 

 

 

 

 If your running a DNN Site and are thinking of putting up a Mobile Smart Phone interface then have a read of this article. 

The approaches listed in this article cover the field and are;

1- Traditional web content and skin in your DNN Site 
2- Smart phone web content in specific pages utilizing a mobile specific skinpack
3- Smart phone App Development with dedicated functionalist or basically native development
4- The hybrid approach which is the combination of #2 & #3

 

With the rise of both iphone and android (and possibly windows) smartphones a dedicated smartphone application can be and expensive job to cover all of these.  It may be more reasonable to create a smartphone mobile site dedicated to a smartphone layout.  This approach is used by the news organisation stuff.co.nz and have created i.stuff.co.nz

 

 

 

 

 After being shaken quite a bit on Tuesday  we have, since then, been out of power, water, and sewage.  But we're now back up with full power and running again.

 Omega's office is on the east side of the city so although we survived the shaking without damage we've  seen the devastation of the suburban streets and the effect of the liquifaction. Over the last week,  while getting the office back up and running we have also been helping to tidy the streets with shovels in hand.  

We have been without mains power since the quake and have been running sparing off a generator since Thursday.  Power came on on Sunday and were fully operational again.

Thanks to all our customers for your continual support at this time.

 

 

Omega Technology completed an important milestone with SLI System this week, as their Business Intelligence solution moved into production.

The solution brings together data from a number of different internal systems such as Sybase, MySQL, and SAP along with external data stores such as SalesForce into a central data warehouse. It provides tools and reports to assist the management team at SLI analyse from a single point and track key indicators.

The solution is prepared using Microsoft SQL Server, Analysis Server, and Reporting Services.

 

 

Omega Technology has produced a Proof of Concept application for Statistics NZ as a migration replacement for their current "CARS" system.

The Proof of Concept had to meet a number of significant goals within a short time-frame. These goals were:

• A revised data model to handle new types of classification and relationships
• A working migration process to show backwards compatability for classification changes generated in the new data model.
• A showcase of "modern" controls and user interface options to provide a much improved user experience
• An enhanced search capability across all data
• The generation of web ready content from user generated rich text

 

Omega Technology has been undertaking the technical lead role with an internal team for the development of a Business Economic Statistics processing system.

This project reached a significant milestone on the completion of IRD GST data loaded into the processing system database and analytical cube environment.

The data is made up of every company GST return from 1993 onwards and consists of over 500 million facts at this stage. The analytical tools enable this data to be explored in aggregate in real time.

Statistics NZ analysts now have the opportunity to further configure processing rules and continue their analysis.

 

This follows on from a previous milestone in 2009 which was building the initial platform to allow user configurable multi stage statistical processing for IRD IR10 data. This collection of data is now in its second production year and progressing well.

 

 Jan Wijninckx,  Director of Smartmatix Ltd was heard to say "Bloody awesome result" when commenting on the project outcome.  He noted also that "Very good work indeed, what a pleasure to see something work in one go."  Smartmatix is a Productivity tools & know-how for IT, projects & programs.

 

 The Student Loans and Allowances (SLA) cube solution was extended for the 2009 processing year (2008-2009 data) by Omega Technology.

A number of Statistics NZ in-house tools used to simplify output classifications, cube building, and automated validation were extended by the Omega team and deployed back in-house.

"Hooray for the cube" said one of the SLA team as they were able to quickly progress with analysis efforts in Excel using the revised cubes and latest data.

The cubes are used to assist with further analysis of the data released here.

 

Omega Technology created the new judging application used in the 2009 NZIPP Judging awards.

The application required real-time communications with as many as 20 computers running across 2 judging rooms and a back office. Images were projected across multiple rooms simultaneously.

Two rooms with 5 judges and a panel chair judged 11 categories of photographic entries.

To judge the entries the application ran continuously for 3 full days of judging.

The results can be viewed here.
