The Challenge:
Convert the existing hard-copy/manual purchase processing to an enterprise-wide web based system (Material Management System) that would be used throughout the Boeing Company worldwide.

Our Solution:
Developed the purchase request and contract processing modules of the system. This enabled any user to submit a purchase request to the system and track it through each step of the process. The request was sent via an email form to a manager to OK the request. Once the request was OK’d by the manager, the request was sent to the contract managers who took this information, solicited vendors, then created an electronic purchase contract that was sent to the specified vendor.

This system was among the first enterprise systems developed and completed using the new Visual Studio/Active Server Pages technologies.
