Web-based applications for Salesengineering.com

Salesengineering.com is a company that delivers products and services designed to improve the productivity of pre-Sales Engineers. Their flagship family of products, SE Applications, is targeted toward Sales Engineers and their management. The product family includes a tool to help Sales Engineers collaborate on their sales opportunities as well as a sophisticated graphical dashboard that allows management to monitor the progress of their organization.

I led this multi-year, soup-to-nuts project, beginning with requirements definition and running all the way through to general release.

Working with the president and CTO, I defined requirements for the entire family of SE Applications products. I developed mock-ups, prototypes, and specifications describing the planned functionality. I led a small team of part-time consultants to develop and test the code, doing most of the development and testing myself. I wrote the online help and accompanying product documentation.

Serving as Senior Product Manager for Salesengineering.com, I led the beta program for SEplanit, the primary product in the SE Applications family. When the product was released, I also served as primary technical support contact. I am currently working with Salesengineering.com to develop plans for the next release of the product family.

SE Applications is a web-based application, using Microsoft Internet Information Server. The user interface is written in ASP (VBScript), HTML, and JavaScript. A few components are written in Java. Business logic is implemented in Visual Basic DLLs, with accompanying VBunit unit tests. All data is stored in Microsoft SQL Server databases.
