Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
 Project: Web-Access Security SubSystem (WASS)
The Public and Indian Housing - Real Estate Assessment Center (PIH-REAC) and Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) divisions at HUD maintain a system that provides Security-related services such as single sign-on, authorization, authentication and delegation, via a web portal, to approximately 30 mission critical systems within HUD.
iDataMart has been successfully providing Application Development, Operations & Maintenance, Operational Support, and subject matter expertise in Authentication and Authorization of the WASS system for over six years.
 Our team operates at CMMI Maturity Level 2, providing full-lifecycle activities including requirements analysis and management, architecture design and coding using the following tools: Java/J2EE, Sybase, Struts, Sun ONE, SiteMinder, and Webthority, extensive testing (system, integration, regression, automated, section 508), and production deployment.
The WASS system plays a key role in providing a gateway to 120,000 HUD users to 30 mission critical systems. As such, failure and disruption of service is not an option. iDataMart's performance on the project has been frequently praised by HUD, due mainly to the following benefits our team has provided to HUD over the years:
- Improved security via a robust and reliable system
- Outstanding customer support: iDataMart has always been flexible and responsive to the changing needs of HUD
- The use of a centralized authentication and authorization mechanism reduces the development and maintenance costs of the 30 systems that interface with WASS for their Authentication and Authorization needs
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Project: Wireless Pilot Project
The Office of Security and Emergency Planning (OSEP) was looking for a wireless solution that allowed HUD security personnel to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations and maintain constant communication during a crisis.
In a subcontractor capacity, iDataMart led a feasibility study to determine which wireless platform was better suited to fulfill HUD needs, providing the most reliable service within the operational and physical constraints of HUD's facilities. In order to do this, iDataMart provided the following services:
- OSEP Business Process Analysis
- Analysis of security requirements and constraints, such as area of coverage, operational conditions, location constraints, and types of communication channels needed.
- Product compliance matrix to match needs with candidate products
- Research of wireless platforms
- Report with recommended solution
iDataMart's recommendation was accepted and implemented by OSEP. The benefits of implementing this solution included a more reliable wireless platform for prompt and secure intra-company communication in times of crisis or emergencies.
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
 Project: Management Assessment and Organizational Analysis
The Office of the Deputy Chief for Management of the Natural Resources Conservation Service for the Director of Information Technology (NRCS/IT) was looking for a reliable consulting organization to help them analyze their business processes and devise new, innovative ways to deliver these services to their constituents, while reducing operational costs and increasing employee morale.
Working as a subcontractor to another company, iDataMart provided the following services to NRCS/IT:
- Business Process Analysis
- Software and Development Lifecycle Analysis
- Human Resources Analysis
- Project Management
As a result of iDataMart's work on this project, the USDA experienced an improvement in the delivery of their business services to their customer, a reduction in the costs associated with their Operations, an improvement of employee morale and a reduction in employee turnover.
Central Research
 Project: Data Mining of Child Support Payment Delinquents
iDataMart assisted as a subcontractor in combing and cross-referencing through multiple databases from more than forty states to find individuals delinquent on their child support or alimony payments. iDataMart was directly responsible for:
- Analyzing data from over fourty databases from states, using MS SQL Server and TOAD
- Using Multi-dimensional Matching techniques to find delinquents and cross-reference them among multiple databases
- Documenting the results and submitting finding reports to Central Research
As a result of iDataMart's contribution, Central Research was able to help the state reduce the number of delinquent payments, saving them substantial amounts of money and benefiting many families and children in particular who were in need of those payments.
