Siemens’ danger management division is a producer of various personal and commercial, fire and safety products, such as fire alarms and sensors. These products are sold on a worldwide level, and therefore are subject to various countries’ testing and approvals. All of this information and more is held securely in a database in headquarters.

There is a web portal in place that permits any Siemens’ employee to perform various functions such as searching for a country’s approval for a specific product, generating a report of products allowed in a specific country, or accessing test reports about a specific product. This web portal also permits employees with administrative privileges to administer the site and its users, and edit the database.

Our team has been hired to create a significantly improved user interface, adding no new functionality, only providing a more efficient and user-friendly environment. Time permitting, we will also implement an enhanced help feature, and switch the database from Microsoft Access to MySQL.
