Synopsis
Gamescape is a powerful new mobile tool enabling hospitality venues to promote their business, attract and entertain customers, and improve customer relationships.
Why did Gamescape engage CSG?

- Understand Gamescape’s strategic business plan, growth model and target markets.
- Develop a technology strategy that would preserve their current investments, get the product launched, and enable their long-term business plans.
- Deliver a finished product in a short time frame.
What did we deliver?
Cobb Systems Group aggressively:
- Created and executed a technology strategy that addressed short-term and long-term business and technical objectives.
- Executed a 24-hour software build-and-release cycle where issues and enhancements were discussed with Gamescape each morning, researched during the day, then built, tested and released for review overnight.

Synopsis
The Washington Home and Community Hospices (TWH&CH) has provided long-term care and hospice services to the Washington DC metro area since 1888 and was recently recognized as a 2014 recipient of the Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award for its dedication to improving the lives of residents through quality care.
Why did TWH&CH engage CSG?
TWH&CH needed a new application that would:
- Allow TWH&CH to track and ensure that all medical records remain in compliance with government and regulatory agencies.
- Adhere to HIPPA standards and be hosted and maintained in the TWH&CH private cloud.
What did we deliver?
Cobb Systems Group aggressively:
- Worked with the Medical Records Department and determined that commercial offerings were very expensive and not functionally adequate out-of-the-box.
- Analyzed legacy systems and manual processes and then created a technology strategy and software development plan. Because the system is a key data source during audits, the development plan emphasized the creation of a custom reporting framework that allowed staff to quickly and easily create and run customized reports to satisfy any ad-hoc data needs requested by auditors.
- Developed the new system, performed all data conversions from legacy applications and deployed the system into the TWH&CH private cloud.
Technologies: Apache Web Server, JBoss, Java, Boostrap, HTML 5, CSS 3
