Author (of AZMAT System)

AZMAT System represents the essence of the author's 17 years’ specialist knowledge and experience. The practical design and the techniques used in the development of AZMAT System have all been very carefully thought out at each and every stage of the development.

The author has designed and developed quite sophisticated, user-friendly, menu-driven and powerful multi-user systems incorporating full security features, audit-trail and password controls at various levels, for dealers and sales personnel in the Capital Markets of various international organisations. For example:

*   Dealing-room systems for Eurobonds; Stocks and Warrants

*   Risk Management and Management Accounts

*   Traded Options and Technical Analysis

*   Aircraft Lease Pricing and Future Pricing


The author would like to give some practical examples from his 17 years' work experience in the computing field.  However, in order to protect confidentiality of the organisations concerned, no names will be mentioned anywhere.  Furthermore, he would like to emphasize that the few organisations' names mentioned elsewhere on this Web site are not the only organisations where he has worked.  He has also worked as Excel Consultant at several other organisations, including other international investment banks and in large local government offices. 

He has developed fast, efficient and real-life working solutions to whatever problems his clients faced.  The majority of those clients were large multi-national organisations.  In most cases they had already tried to find an acceptable working solution themselves, using internal staff, before engaging him on the project.  In several cases, the clients had originally thought the solution would be temporary.  However in almost every case, his clients found the systems very useful, efficient and extremely cost-effective.  For example:

1.  After he completed a 'temporary' project in four and a half months for a company, they decided not to proceed with their own planned £500,000 permanent project any more.  They realised that the 'temporary' practical solution developed by him was providing 90% of what they had wanted from their planned project; they saw no reason to spend that large amount of money for the extra 10% functionality. 

2.  After he completed a 'temporary' project over a period of 18 months without any written program specification, for another company, they decided not to proceed with their own planned £9 million permanent project any more.  They realised that the 'temporary' practical solution developed by him was adequate for their immediate needs; there may have been other reasons, but the existence of his working and highly popular system was certainly one of the main reasons.  Instead, they decided to add on more functions to the 'temporary' system developed by him. 

The first working version of his 'temporary' project was ready after five months.   The second version after 12 months and the final version after 18 months.  It is worth pointing out that the system was in full use after the first version was complete.  The second and third versions involved the addition of more and more functionality to the basic system as the user base grew from 20 to more than 200, in almost every branch of that company all over the world.   Whenever staff travelled on business, they wanted the latest version of the system on their portable computer - they just couldn't live without it!
