Delphi Developer
Projects: ENSO product development
Team Size: 8
Description: Enterprise Solution (ENSO) was an ERP product, developed in multi-tier architecture and
Delphi 5 as front-end. The development of the client side programs was done by a code generator tool
written in Delphi 5 for fast development and uniformity in the generated programs. Very minimal manual
changes of code were required for some of the critical programs generated. The generated programs were
passing requests to the MTS middleware business components (ActiveX COM dlls) and were receiving the
response from them. The business components were connecting to the DB2 database with ADO
connectivity. I was a member of the two person team responsible for the development of the code
generating tool with Delphi 5. We had a repository filled with the information required for the generation
of different programs. We also had some templates with fixed formats for different types of programs. Our
tool was generating the programs taking the variable information from the repository and the fixed
programming format from the templates.
Responsibilities:
• Design and development of the application in Delphi 5
• Development of the DCOM business objects using Delphi 5
• Doing extensive R&D to overcome the technical challenges
