3. UN/CEFACT XML Development
• Started UN/CEFACT XML development and coding
Q2 2010
– Initial proof of concepts, feasibility, knowledge buildup
– Have worked very closely with DCMA and UN/CEFACT
Working Group on guidelines and proof of concepts
• Updated existing code simultaneously to D09B release
• Dedicated over 2 FTE’s since development started
– Incorporated into core products
– Built a core framework to do the conversions between
UN/CEFACT and source applications
– Wrapped widely used 3rd party application solutions
4. UN/CEFACT Core Framework
EV/Schedule Tools
UN/CEFACT XML
File/Database
Safran North America
Core Mapping Framework
UN/CEFACT XML EV/Schedule Tools
Files/Database
5. UN/CEFACT Core Framework
• Core Framework written in .NET C#
• A lot of work done up front to make future
work easier for releases and maintainability
• Allows for:
– Rapid release of new solutions (only have to code
the mapping from/to source application)
– Flexibility on the UI/processing for the solution
• Wizard, command file, plug in, service, etc.
– Maintainability
• Updates to guidelines/schema needs updating in one
place
6. Safran North America
UN/CEFACT XML Solutions
• UN/CEFACT Export
– Safran Project and Safran for Microsoft Project
v3.7 have D09B UN/CEFACT XML export of CPR
(Cost Data) and IMS (Network Schedule Data)
– Envision Xporter Excel to UNCEFACT produces
D09B UN/CEFACT XML schema’s for CPR and
IMS from populated MS Excel templates
– Envision Xporter wInsight XML to UNCEFACT
converts a wInsight proprietary CPR XML file
into a D09B UN/CEFACT XML CPR Schema
7. Safran North America
UN/CEFACT XML Solutions
• UN/CEFACT Export Continued
– Envision Xporter MS Project to UNCEFACT
converts a MS Project schedule into a D09B
UN/CEFACT XML IMS schema
– Envision Mporter UNCEFACT to MS Project
converts a D09B UN/CEFACT XML IMS schema
into a MS Project schedule
8. Safran North America
UN/CEFACT XML Solutions
• UN/CEFACT Import and Analytics
– Envision Mporter UNCEFACT imports UN/CEFACT
XML into a backend Envision Database
– Envision Database archives periodic UN/CEFACT
XML performance data, performs
calculations, aggregates data and stores various
other inputs like narrative’s and thresholds
– Proteus Envision Repository is a collection of turn
key workspaces that analyzes the health and
forecasts of integrated cost and schedule project
management data (stop light
indicators, performance trending and projections
on cost and schedule, 14 pt. Schedule
Assessment, DCMA Tripewire, Variance
Analysis, and more…)
17. Future Roadmap
• Continuous improvement of existing
solutions
– Finish X12 839 transaction set conversion to
UN/CEFACT
– Add more mapping options in
Xporter/Mporter’s
– Incorporate more canned metrics and
workspaces in Proteus Envision
• Add new Xporter’s/Mporter’s
– Priority driven by client requests
