•BMC Remedy AR•Oracle CRM/ERP•COTS applications implementation, tailoring, and supportIn the face of continual breakthroughs and enhancements to software development technologies, languages, operating systems, and development environments, legacy software and hardware systems are becoming increasingly more difficult to support, maintain, and repair. Additionally, the new generation of software developers and maintainers is schooled in the newest technology, but experience with older software languages and development paradigms is decreasing rapidly with the retirement or promotion of more senior software developers. We employ a cost-effective approach to modernization of software and systems to ensure continued supportability at minimum cost for the ever-expanding lifecycle of major computer-based systems.© 1987-2009 Mercer Engineering Research Center 135 Osigian Blvd. • Warner Robins, GA 31088info@merc-mercer.org • www.merc-mercer.org • 478.953.6800Assembly Code Integrated Development EnvironmentUser-Reprogrammable Avionics Bus ControllerElectronic Warfare Reprogramming Tool SetDigital Image Data Extraction Software ApplicationAvionics Engineering Support Station UpdateAutomated Maintenance Workflow Tracking SystemUS Air Force Technical Order MigrationDigital Image Data Extraction Software ApplicationIndividual Aircraft Usage Data Tracking and Structural Management SystemCommodity Data Management Software and Computer-Based Training DevelopmentFeatured Projects•Advanced Information Systems Technology Research•Computer Network Firewall Configuration & Maintenance•Virtual Private Network (VPN) Design & Implementation•System Management & Administration (Linux, Unix and Windows)•Computer Network Design, Implementation & Troubleshooting•Enterprise Data Applications•Computer Based Training Development•Database Design & Implementation•Database Driven Web Application Development•Enterprise Software Application DevelopmentRecent technology enhancements to a wide variety of portable and handheld computing devices have opened up new opportunities for data collection and management. By combining sound engineering principles, advanced data analysis techniques, and 3D graphical interface technologies, we are redefining the way that data is collected, stored, processed, and utilized across a variety of problem domains.By leveraging a flexible software application development methodology, along with standards-based software development frameworks, such as Microsoft .NET and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), we deliver solutions to a wide range of government, commercial and industrial customers. Our goal in the software development arena is to rapidly design and implement enterprise architectures and frameworks that are open, secure, scalable, reliable, and ready for future iteration.The Information Systems Division (ISD) at MERC provides custom software application development, data management solutions, software and systems modernization, and independent research and evaluation of software technologies to a wide array of both internal and external customers.
