Agenda

• Development Background• Core Framework• Existing Solutions• Future Roadmap

UN/CEFACT XML Development

• Started UN/CEFACT XML development and coding Q2 2010– Initial proof of concepts, feasibility, knowledge buildup– Have worked very closely with DCMA and UN/CEFACT

Working Group on guidelines and proof of concepts• Updated existing code simultaneously to D09B release

• Dedicated over 2 FTE’s since development started– Incorporated into core products– Built a core framework to do the conversions between

UN/CEFACT Core Framework

• Core Framework written in .NET C#• A lot of work done up front to make future

work easier for releases and maintainability• Allows for:– Rapid release of new solutions (only have to code

the mapping from/to source application)– Flexibility on the UI/processing for the solution

• Wizard, command file, plug in, service, etc.

– Maintainability• Updates to guidelines/schema needs updating in one

place

• UN/CEFACT Export– Safran Project and Safran for Microsoft Project

v3.7 have D09B UN/CEFACT XML export of CPR (Cost Data) and IMS (Network Schedule Data)

– Envision Xporter Excel to UNCEFACT produces D09B UN/CEFACT XML schema’s for CPR and IMS from populated MS Excel templates

– Envision Xporter wInsight XML to UNCEFACT converts a wInsight proprietary CPR XML file into a D09B UN/CEFACT XML CPR Schema

Safran North AmericaUN/CEFACT XML Solutions

• UN/CEFACT Export Continued– Envision Xporter MS Project to UNCEFACT

converts a MS Project schedule into a D09B UN/CEFACT XML IMS schema

– Envision Mporter UNCEFACT to MS Project converts a D09B UN/CEFACT XML IMS schema into a MS Project schedule

Safran North America UN/CEFACT XML Solutions

• UN/CEFACT Import and Analytics– Envision Mporter UNCEFACT imports UN/CEFACT XML

into a backend Envision Database– Envision Database archives periodic UN/CEFACT XML

performance data, performs calculations, aggregates data and stores various other inputs like narrative’s and thresholds

– Proteus Envision Repository is a collection of turn key workspaces that analyzes the health and forecasts of integrated cost and schedule project management data (stop light indicators, performance trending and projections on cost and schedule, 14 pt. Schedule Assessment, DCMA Tripewire, Variance Analysis, and more…)

Future Roadmap

• Continuous improvement of existing solutions– Finish X12 839 transaction set conversion to

UN/CEFACT– Add more mapping options in

Xporter/Mporter’s– Incorporate more canned metrics and

workspaces in Proteus Envision• Add new Xporter’s/Mporter’s– Priority driven by client requests
