The Division of Environmental Health is transforming its outdated HSIS technology by adopting the IBEAM framework—a standard for application development within NCDENR. This Internet Based Enterprise Application Management system allows for quicker access to information and a smarter approach to software development. By crafting a comprehensive I-BEAM Notebook, which serves as a detailed roadmap for analysis, design, and development, we can retain knowledge in-house, ensuring users are trained and satisfied with custom solutions tailored to our business processes.

Environmental Health • HSIS technology is outdated • We need to work “smarter” • We need access to information quickly
Where do we start? • The Division of Environmental Health chose IBEAM, the standard for application development within NCDENR IBEAM = Internet Based Enterprise Application Management system
IBEAM is a framework • Provides a standard environment including: • Java Programming • Secure Servers • Internet delivery • Oracle Database
What do we do? • Do-It-Yourself Analysis and Design to craft custom-made software based on our business processes • In the past, we often hired consultants. They would come in, learn our business, build their vision of what we needed, and then go away • Now the knowledge and the documentation stay with us
How do we get there? • Develop an I-BEAM “Notebook”, which is a documented “roadmap” for: • Analysis • Design • Development
What’s in “The Notebook”? • Scope Document • Process Flow Diagrams • Screen designs using Dreamweaver • Use Cases • Business Rules • Data Model/Data Dictionary
When it’s all said and done • Notebook completed • System built • User Manual created • New system tested • Users trained and using the system • Everybody’s happy!
