Cable Network Advertising System

Work with staff of eight consultants to maintain and enhance several Paradox based systems. Together these systems are responsible for managing the entire flow of advertising from Quotations to On Air Scheduling.  They process and report on over $200 million in business on an annual basis. My expertise has been applied to design, code and install a true “Production” environment featuring change control, redundant backups, security and alpha and beta development areas.

Cable Network Advertising Sales

For a major cable network, led a small team of developers making enhancements to and deploying a system that provided salespeople with the capability to maximize advertising revenue. It let them quickly scan amongst a large demographic database and cross-referenced with the programming catalog and scheduling system to allow salespeople to suggest the most profitable time-slots and packages available at the time a potential  advertiser submitted a inquiry.

Project Reporting System

Created a Reporting Sub-System that provides simultaneous access to over 200 reports across many different application directories. System provides for report access based upon user security level and presents appropriate Paradox passwords as needed. Integrates with Menu System above.

Automated Reporting System

Designed and implemented this automated system for producing Paradox reports. Users can request that any of the reports in the Project Reporting System (above) be printed on a regularly scheduled basis at off-peak times and then spooled to the nearest LAN printer. System also considers printer-type and will automatically duplex long reports, where possible, saving thousands of pages per month.

This employee scheduling system tracks various categories of time in organizations that operate using a rotating shift schedule. It is ideal for insuring that minimum staffing levels are in effect while scheduling employee time off and providing for conflict resolution. It also tracks employee certifications and skills inventory.  Managed development and planned its commercial launch.
