 | | | | COB Signs $2 Million Contract with ODOTAs the Oregon Department of Transportation upgrades its operating systems to Microsoft XP, the COB Business Solutions Group has been contracted to test several applications for compatibility with the new system. As part of the four-year, $2 million contract, the BSG will also conduct process testing to make sure the applications continue to work within ODOT’s computing environment.
“We are able to set up their environment in-house at the COB and conduct the testing,” said Tony Saxman, COB director of information services. “ODOT’s systems in Salem stay untouched until the conversion is ready.”
Saxman, his staff, and more than a dozen student workers from MIS, computer science, engineering and MBA disciplines, continue to grow their web services, software development and product testing operation within the COB. The team currently conducts software testing for New Technologies, Inc.’s forensics software; hardware testing of network switches and hubs for Hewlett-Packard/Roseville, as well as several projects for OSU including database projects, website development, catalog and schedule of classes applications, survey systems, and more. |
