Case Study


PBS Gmail Widget

Challenge

Our Federal client had a tedious and archaic manual upload process for emails and attachments to the electronic contract file within Electronic Acquisition System Integration (EASi). EASi provides a PR, Solicitation, and Award workflow tool to help complete everyday tasks and streamline acquisition processes. There were multiple locations to search for Award/Contract Information. Our client wanted to improve the user experience by having something that was easier to use and while reducing the amount of time to complete the process.

Solution

Omnisolve partnered with key stakeholders to develop a comprehensive  understanding of user needs. We ran three week sprints gathering requirements, development and testing.  We decoupled data exchanges across application boundaries such as Google, the agencies IT division and PBS. We were able to develop granular API's for data exchange pattern standardization and scalability. Our development standards aligned with PBS IT modernization strategy and API Strategy. Our customized interface offers seamless integration as a chrome extension so anyone can easily use.
