| Cognizant re-engineered the waste handling system into a web-based application. Cognizant re-defined the workflow to simplify and create and end-to-end waste management process. The key highlights of the solution were |
| |
- A reporting engine based on the open source component FOP
- A tool based approach to data migration from VAX to SQL Server that helped in migrating the data in the application's different stages - development, QA, Staging and Production
- Component based development for printing labels, generating shipping descriptions, reports etc.
- XML based reporting component that could deliver reports in multiple formats - PDF, CSV, HTML
- Iterative development with UAT at each phase to make sure that users had a chance to use features of the system well before the final stages of the project
|
| |
| The following tangible business benefits were realized by our solution |
| |
- Reduction in non-compliance costs as the new system assured 100% compliance to the norms specified by EPA. Potential savings of over $5 million accrued from avoiding non-compliance
- Better senior management control due to faster and more reliable reporting. This also significantly reduced the EPA approval time
- Reduction in manpower cost due to improved process efficiency and employee productivity as a result of automation of the waste profile workflow. Potential savings of over $ 2 million over 3 years
- Reduction in licensing fee and maintenance costs due to use of open source component that makes it more cost effective and scalable

| "The original engagement was scoped with a very aggressive schedule and budget. The system required a 'go-live' phase without a parallel run, even though this is a mission-critical application. The Cognizant team did a great job on this solution. The team was always professional and technologically sound. They worked very well with our staff, and earned the respect of all they worked with. Working on this engagement was a very pleasant experience for me, and I have enjoyed my time working with all on the team." - Client Engagement Manager |
