Description

Who we are:
ISW is a leading IBM Business Partner and Tasmanian software engineering and IT services company. With the head office based in Hobart and offices in Sydney and Melbourne ISW services a wide range of organisations nationally and internationally.
We are committed to achieving excellence in the design, development, implementation, training, and support of IT software & service. We strive to provide robust practical solutions to our clients' business requirements and to support them throughout the complete project life cycle and beyond.
ISW has made a significant investment in IBM technologies resulting in IBM recognising ISW as a Premier IBM Business Partner and the leading IBM partner in the Lotus software pillar for 2007.
Project Description:
ISW has a long history of developing IBM Lotus Notes applications for clients both locally, interstate and overseas. In recent times, we have added the IBM Forms technology to our client offerings, particularly in the field of integrating both IBM Forms and Lotus Notes databases. IBM Forms provides organisations with the ability to deliver pixel-perfect forms to internal and external users via the IBM Forms viewer client or a web browser.
The combination of IBM Forms and ISW's Workflow Xpress Lotus Notes based workflow engine, brings together open standards based rich eForms capabilities with advanced workflow and business process automation.
In this project, students will tighten this integration by developing a tool that can convert an IBM Form to a Lotus Notes Form and vice versa.
This will require students to become familiar with XFDL (eXtensible Forms Description Language - a subset of XML that defines the content and appearance of a Lotus Form) and DXL (Domino XML - a subset of XML that defines the content and appearance of a Lotus Notes form).
