Benched Again

I've completed all the task creation for the future EMIS implementation for our aviation client.  As so much of our work seems to end up, I'm now waiting for the client to review the work and advise on how they'd like to proceed.  We had a $15k budget & used about $12k of it on this project.  I'm told the client is a little shocked at the reality of how much the work cost, but at least we came in under budget.

Last week I sat in on a client web demonstration for our VEMS  product & then was given an opportunity to write three proposals for VEMS implementations.  It looks very likely that we'll get the work, as a cement manufacturer has decided that VEMS will be implemented corporate wide.  So I may be making travel plans for a software implementation.

I was also pulled into another proposal last week for an educational institution.  They put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) for their Title V Air Permit work & also wanted barcodes and barcoding software worked into the bid.  One of our T3 consultants on the east coast was asked to help by the local office & he checked with the T3 group to see who had experience with barcodes.  I had some familiarity from another project at a previous employer, so I did some research for him to include in the proposal.

Wednesday & Thursday of this week I'll be taking the final training course for one of our EMIS partners, which will then make me a certified implementer of their product.  I know a couple of T3 consultants have work I can help with, but again, they're waiting for the client to get back to them, so I'm in a holding pattern for the moment.
