Case Study:
StaffMetric
StaffMetric (www.staffmetric.com)
is a Tulsa-based web-application service provider that offers temporary
staffing firms a web-enabled employee management and reporting system.
Using the application, an on-site temporary staffer fills out timesheets,
the client then reviews and approves the timesheets, and the staffing
company imports the timesheet data into their back-office payroll systemall through a browser.
The Problem
Building a web application involves all of the challenges of software
application development, including code development, data handling and
validation, and back-office integrationplus all of the challenges
of web design, including usability, cross-browser compatibility, and a
client-branded look and feel. To solve those challenges in a methodical,
systemic way, StaffMetric turned to StoneHenge Partners.
The Solution
StoneHenge Partners and StaffMetric together developed, implemented and
deployed 400+ pages of ASP/DHTML. Through the course of the 10-month project,
we analyzed, designed, and built upon the existing SQL Server databases
and stored procedures; and designed the VB script and JavaScript functions,
data validations and time-management validations, and COM objects and
CSS-formatted page layoutsall in a cross-browser compliant environment.

The StaffMetric application, built by StoneHenge Partners and currently
being deployed, offers these features:
