Projects Overview - Java

 A sample of some systems Unity has built using enterprise-level Java

  • We developed a supplier facing portal for Somerfield to enable the tracking of promotional income. This also used Spring Framework, Hibernate and BIRT reporting.
  • We built an application to manage the costing of fuel deliveries to Somerfield forecourts, also using Apache Struts, UDB and, Ascential DataStage (ETL).   
  • We built a generic data driven framework for Somerfield to allow the maintenance of corporate data.
  • We have recently undertaken the design of several components to assist mobile phone software developers to charge for their products, providing an easy interface to the Vodafone Application Charging Engine (ACE). The design includes software for mobile phones using Java Micro Edition as well as server components using Java Enterprise Edition.
  • We designed and built a major middleware component for Vodafone’s retail operation, deployed to all 1800 tills across the Vodafone estate. It provides seamless integration between a web based application for creating new connection / handset purchase and the POS software running on the till, eliminating the time consuming dual-key mechanism previously used. This set of java based web services was implemented using Apache Axis.
  • We were responsible for designing and hosting an application to enable Vodafone’s customers to verify the connection speed of their HSDPA device. This was an AJAX enabled JEE website, using Tomcat, Torque and Struts.
  • We have been involved in a myriad of projects to enhance Vodafone.co.uk, such as store locator, a major rework of the search facility, Price Plan Advisor etc.
  • We redeveloped the My Vodafone area of vodafone.co.uk site to enable Vodafone’s customers to manage their own accounts. We also delivered a number of eCare components. 
  • Spanning a dozen or more projects, we have provided Vodafone with customer facing online billing solutions for consumers and small businesses. We have also provided advanced back-end solutions, such as the caching of customer bills for fast and accurate Internet retrieval. This also used BroadVision, Apache Struts and Oracle.
