An Opcomm consultant assisted with the development and implementation of the DoFA Security Vetting and Clearance system.   The system is designed to record all breach incidents for DOFA contractors and staff and provide a security breach incident file record for each.  The system is maintainable and includes a search facility.  As part of her task to establish the new system requirements our consultant developed and documented process and data models which led to and assisted the development of use-case requirement documentation for the application.   Over the course of the three-phase implementation, our consultant established user requirements and compiled technical specifications prior to the development of the application. 

Systems Engineering and Requirements Analysis

CASA were upgrading a number of their existing systems to a three-tier architecture.  Opcomm consultants were involved in a number of capacities, including:

-          Requirements Modelling for Flight Crew Licensing and Authorisations Maintenance Licensing.  This involved the development of documentation for new system requirements which included process and data modelling, and work flow for the areas that were to be incorporated into the new application.   Our consultant was later involved in the development and project management activities of this project.

-          Liaising with vendors, clients and business users, and maintaining a Changes and Issues Database.  Our consultant assisted with technical input as well as project management.  In addition, her role involved the development of a reporting repository using BI Tools such as Cognos to provide a web-enabled reporting facility for flight crew.

-          Our consultant contributed to test case preparation as well as the system and application testing of all pre-existing CASA LARP systems.

An Opcomm consultant worked in a team focusing on the re-modelling of the strategic architecture for CASA.  In particular, our consultant was involved in data modelling, business requirements analysis and production of IT architecture documentation. 

Systems Engineering and Requirements Analysis

An Opcomm consultant acted as business analyst to the ABV project, which involved analysing the requirements for reporting financial data for the Australian Business Volunteers.  The financial information was held in MYOB data store and other relevant volunteer information was extracted from the records management database.    Our consultant ascertained the relevant information from the Business Areas, held development workshops to establish the business requirements for ABV, analysed and designed a repository for executive reporting which aligned financial and corporate information.     

Systems Engineering and Requirements Analysis

An Opcomm consultant was selected as business analyst for the development of a Web based application to collect and collate data for the use in Greenhouse Emission calculations for the AGO, and to manage members and other organisations.   The stage of the project in which Opcomm consultants were involved included the scoping and analysis of the work required to develop a fully functional web application for the collection of Greenhouse Information.  Our consultant was tasked to document the requirements using UML diagramming and use-case based requirements modelling.  This documentation will form the foundation on which the application design and development will take place. 

Systems Engineering and Requirements Analysis

The Rail Incident and Safety Investigation System is a re-development of the MARINE system to cater for rail requirements. An Opcomm consultant was responsible for the project management of a small development team using .Net technologies to develop an enhanced application for both Marine and Rail Incidents for the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.  

Systems Engineering and Requirements Analysis

An Opcomm consultant was selected to act as business analyst & project manager for the Green Vehicle Guide Project.   The Green Vehicle Guide is a public website and a secure website for vehicle manufacturers.  This site is to rate current model vehicles with a green rating. It will be used in future by the RTA (Road Transport Authority) to charge registration for Green Safe Vehicles. 

Systems Engineering and Requirements Analysis

An Opcomm consultant was selected to perform the business analysis and test manager roles for the re-development of the Marine Investigation Unit application to maintain and record marine incidents. Our consultant performed the MIASIS requirements modelling for the ATSB. This project was the completion of the development stage of the re-design.
