		<description><![CDATA[Custom Benefit Services needed a way to provide their incentive program participants with up-to-date information about their accounts.  An online web application that allows participants, providers and sponsors to monitor their plans was the solution.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Custom Benefit Services (CBS) has built a business helping companies provide retirement options for commission-only sales teams (1099).  CBS requested a web application to move their business from 100&#8242;s of spreadsheets once on a desktop to an integrated business application.</p>
<p>As part of the development team for the application (called the <em>Production Incentive Program Administrative Assistant</em>) I was responsible for development, user-interface design, debugging and testing.</p>
<p><strong>Key highlights of my contributions included:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Developed the initial user-interface mock ups for most aspects of the application.  Assisted other developers in tweaking their user-interfaces to best adhere to the design principles.</li>
<li>Developed the Vesting module that reports individual vesting on a real-time basis.</li>
<li>Developed in conjunction with other developers several new incentive plan types within the system.</li>
<li>Developed the Arbitrary Units module, which allowed the admin to define arbitrary plan units such as Dollars, Euro, Cars, Widgets, etc for the teared bonus plans.</li>
<li>I was the lead quality assurance engineer, making sure all functionality, reports and screens functioned to the clients specifications.</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Incentive Plan Editing Screen</strong></p>
<p>Administrators can implement several different plan types with this highly configurable plan editing screen.   Option include pure bonus plans, plans based on a percentage, plans based on a tiered production and more.</p>

<p><strong>Contribution Screen</strong></p>
<p>The contribution screen was designed to be a fast data-entry screen for administrators.  The screen supports Excel style data entry which is immediately saved via Ajax to the database.   Billing summaries are also available for the given time period.</p>
