Colonial Life desired to create a better experience for their agents, brokers, and potential policyholders. They were supporting two separate applications to facilitate the enrollment process (for offline and online use). Maintenance was challenging with multiple code bases that shared so much functionality. With the help of InterKnowlogy, a new line of business application called Harmony was created using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). InterKnowlogy provided the design, architecture, and development services to the Colonial Life team. The new application provides a much more engaging experience for the users, elevates the confidence of potential policyholders, better data integrity, and reduces the overall maintenance of the application.

The Generations Network (TGN) is the world’s leading resource for online family history. TGN’s web site, ancestry.com, provides these services to millions of users worldwide. To step it up a notch, TGN desired a redesign of their Family Tree Viewer application to make it an immersive, rich user interface. Historically, companies like TGN would look to Flash to attempt to deliver this type of functionality, but given their experience with Flash, TGN knew that it would be difficult to accomplish a revamp in the time and budget they had to meet. Utilizing Silverlight with InterKnowlogy development services, the new Family Tree Viewer application quickly came to life. InterKnowlogy’s initial prototype affirmed TGN’s decision to use Silverlight. There were no scalability issues when dealing with thousands of nodes in the tree, and all the rich features they were looking for were all possible. Ancestry.com launched on time with InterKnowlogy’s help, with all the bells and whistles TGN needed. Related Links |

SharePoint Transforms YMCA's Intranet

The YMCA is a large entity, like many corporations, and often faces similar IT challenges. Their intranet had grown over many years of development. They struggled with maintaining content effectively, controlling duplication of code and content, and distributing ownership. They could not search their content, or censor it based on user logins. In short, they needed a better solution. SharePoint offers many features to create intranet sites without any coding and through simple configuration. Using SharePoint’s web interface, an intranet can be quickly constructed. In two weeks, InterKnowlogy converted YMCA’s existing HTML/ASP intranet to SharePoint. Immediately, they were able to search their content, secure their content, and create templates to easily add new departments and facilities. Related Links |

Built by InterKnowlogy, VitruView enables doctors to annotate a 3D image of a heart. There is both a desktop version (called Angiographer) and a version targeted for Microsoft Surface (called VitruView, with HealthVault integration). Using only their fingers, zooming in and out, selecting arteries or drawing new ones, Angiographer provides a unique and intuitive experience both to doctors and patients. Despite containing well over fifty thousand triangles, the heart model rotates smoothly even on average graphics processors. Angiographer also makes extensive use of WPF’s vector graphics engine and control styling to create an unique immersive interface that is simple to use yet still visually compelling. Related Links |

Built by InterKnowlogy, the Collaborative Molecular Environment (C-ME) allows researchers to annotate 3-D molecular images with any kind of document. When researchers are viewing a molecule and want to enter a note, they right-click on the 3-D surface of the molecule and attach a word-processing document, an Adobe Acrobat file, a presentation, an image, or anything else. This “pins” the information in the document to a specific spot on the molecular image. The 3-D images and the related research documents are stored in an online collaboration site, where they are accessible to any authorized researcher. The C-ME has enabled a faster path to medical discoveries. The team has been able to create a central data repository containing documents in almost any format; researchers are not limited in how they organize data. The ability to link multiple kinds of data to an image of a single molecule makes it easier to organize experiments, collect and distribute results, and speed up the process of uncovering deeper knowledge from experiments in different fields.

Penn State Hospital has many progressive programs to provide state of the art healthcare. They determined that due to the stress of high impact events, many Emergency Department employees needed help to deal with the mental toll. There are well known psychological tests that measure the stress due to high impact events, but no one wants to take surveys and tests. Utilizing Microsoft Surface, the Impact Event Scale (IES) was implemented to allow healthcare providers to perform self-testing. Surface ID tags are issued to each employee for security, so only select researchers would know how took the test. Related Links |
