Programming Language/Tools

MS Project, MS Office, MS SQL Server, Oracle, Java, extJS, Spring, Infosphere Information Server.

GM3PD contains GM’s global, real-time, approved product plan. Portfolio decisions made by the Global Product Development Council (GPDC) are communicated via Notices of Decision (NoDs). Database users access and update the database globally. Data is used in downstream functions such as Engineering, Marketing, Capacity Planning, Volume Forecasting, PowerTrain, etc. The GM3PD system currently has license expirations, security gaps and accessibility issues. This project will re-architect the GM3PD System to address these concerns. GM3PD (GM Product Portfolio Planning Database) is running on legacy and unsupported environment such as Windows server 2003, MS SQL Server 2005, Microsoft IIS 6.0, MS Visual Basic 6.0, ASPDB and MS Access 2003, which causes increasing maintenance cost and reducing its reliability. The new GM3PD will be use the latest WebLogic Application Server, Oracle Database Server, and Infosphere Information Server in the Data Center, by doing so we will address security issues where the customers will not have direct access to production databases, servers, where the users made changes to code and added/updated/deleted files for document and data management.
