The Intranet site was upgraded to adhere to XHTML Strict markup and to use CSS purely for its styling. Upgrade was inclusive of several self-built dynamic web-based applications.
Employed by HBOS: Vehicle Finance as Systems Analyst,  I took over the role of Lead Intranet Developer: inclusive of server management, and moved towards upgrading their flat HTML based Intranet site into a dynamic ASP: VBScript based portal to pull in the three distinct geographical areas making up Vehicle Finance: Edinburgh, Chester, Bushey.

Due to server restrictions, and cross domain users, I was unable to use a standard database format such as MS Access or MS SQL for a backend. Instead I opted for my own built flatfile XML based relational database.

As part of the upgrade an XML/JavaScript/ASP, based dynamic phonebook was produced to aide communication between the three geographical sites. A standalone MS Access “phonebook repository” exports XML for the Intranet when an entry is added/updated. This database extended to be the central Vehicle Finance Human Resources Repository, and again upgraded to also incorporate all Financial Services Authority details.

Other own built web applications to streamline business processes included a News CMS, and a Systems self-help tool (SOS) as well as an Online Systems Status tool.

Further projects integrated into the Intranet included business areas KPI (Key Performance Indicators) being updated direct to the Intranet from each core system / department through the use of Business Objects reporting software and MS Acess databases to export pertinant data into XML schema to be fed into Macromedia Flash graphic reporting .swf files.
