Personalized Health is a system that provides a customer with specific recommendations for vitamin and mineral supplements based on genetic testing and health questionnaires. The customer is guided through a dyanmic series of questions about their health history, lifestyle, and nutritional habits. Upon completion of this process, this system produces a list of recommended products considering the customers individual needs and allergies, product interactions, and dosage guidelines. The customer reviews and revises the product list and places and order, and a month's supply of the products is delivered in bottles or in a set of individual daily packets.
The CBS Solutions team played a key role in the development of this system, building software components for managing questionnaire content generating product recommendations, and interfacing with a third-party search engine.
Retailing. A system that develops personalized retail websites for independent business owners. It incorporates tools and components they need to build customized websites for their personal businesses. This enables each owner to support his or her individual business strategy with a Web presence tailored to a particular product or client focus, such as cosmetics or nutritional supplements. At the same time, a corporate brand or image is protected while providing the owner with a clean and professional website.
The CBS Solutions team contributed significantly to this system, building components for order management, returns processing, client registration, and report generation, as well as providing extensive user interface development.
A pharmaceutical company engaged CBS Solutions, Inc. to help scope and implement its proprietary ERP software system. Initially, CBS Solutions helped the company to determine the efforts required for the project based on as-is and to-be modeling. Next, teams were assembled to architect, implement, and deploy the solution. The project also required interfacing numerous tertiary systems with the new platform. The overall implementation team was approximately 150 people, and successfully went 'live' at the end of 2005.
A large multinational corporation faced company-mandated layoffs. The workload still existed regardless of the reduced staffing and knowledge transfer problems became immediate. CBS Solutions temporarily contracted teams of knowledgeable people to the corporation.
A pharmaceutical company experienced new software implementations and geographic-based consolidations. As a result, departments hired CBS Solutions to assist with evaluating existing systems in comparison to newly implemented applications. The consolidations and new systems required decommissioning tasks associated with hardware and licensing, to which CBS Solutions assisted.
CBS Solutions helps numerous companies with recruitment efforts for IT and Management Personnel. In many cases, a company may elect to hire full-time employees as opposed to hiring a consulting firm - or may employ a combination of such entities. CBS Solutions utilizes its recruiters to assist companies in this capacity.
A large consumer product company trains employees how to identify, report, and prevent product defects. CBS Solutions built a web-based training application that mirrors such efforts, including image-based practice and quiz functionality. The application is positioned on the company’s intranet, and provides substantial supplemental training assistance. For example, a trainer may visit a plant and train 300 employees; 30 of which may require additional training and 40 more may have been unable to attend the initial session. The application provides such necessary follow-up training immediately. Additionally, the application is completely managed by the client - meaning all content including the practice images and quiz questions are loaded into the application and easily maintained by CBS Solutions’ client.
