Security Web Application
Antares designed and developed a custom ASP-based product that combines asset database information, policy monitoring, vulnerability information, and compliance surveys to determine if an organization is meeting regulatory and compliance standards. Customers can obtain a real-time view of their environment and are provided with actionable alerts and remediation to the customer to help prioritize vulnerable resources. This application was developed to allow Channel Partners the ability to customize the website according to their brand guidelines, and sell the product as their own.

The project included a project manager, a team of four developers, and two testers with an eleven month delivery schedule to define and develop the first release. The application is web-based, using Linux operating system, Java technology, J2EE, and Ajax to serve up the interactive HTML pages interfacing with a MySQL database. The client is replacing a Cold Fusion product developed in 2000.

Appro 20/20 Small Business Lending System
The 20/20 Small Business Lending system allows users such as banks or credit unions to process commercial loan applications in an on-line networking environment. The system automatically tracks regulatory codes for compliance with government regulations and also provides support for tracking multiple loan products as well as multiple business owners. The application was written in MS Visual Basic 5.0, RDO 2.0, and MS SQL Server 6.5, and uses Active X DLLs along with many SQL stored procedures and triggers. The program tracks all information pertinent to making a loan application decision and is highly customizable, as each bank has its own business approval rules.
