Mail Server Web System

The client

It is a Norwegian consulting company which specializes in providing project coordination and management services between offshore vendors and local buyers.

What the client wanted

Smooth communication among buyers, our client and vendors are critical for the success of the client's business. Thus, our client needed to develop an e-mail system with which all the three parties can communicate together on a per project basis. This system should provide an overview of all e-mail communication that had taken place in the project. All details of the e-messages that had been sent and received among the three parties were available without revealing the real e-mail address of buyers to vendors and vice versa. In addition, the privilege setting of the communication on a particular project should be available and the test work must be implemented on the client's server.

Approach

Our dedicated developers thoroughly analysed the specification and complied with RUP to develop the system. The system architecture was then structured accordingly. The system could be easily administrated via two configuration files. E-mails must be pre-processed before being sent. The system then converted the real e-mail address of the sender into the client's e-mail address and converted the client's e-mail address to its real address in receiver's case.

A copy of each e-mail sent with identification of the project during the e-mail communication process could be also sent to a specified mail box which worked as archive of a certain project so that all the e-mails could be categorized under a particular project folder, resultantly, the system was able to specify who was allowed to communicate in a particular project. The wildcards were acknowledged and the search strings were supported. At intervals, project progress reports and other e-mails regarding a particular project were sent to the persons involved in the project.
