Client Profile:
Pen-Link, Ltd. is a Lincoln, NE based company that supplies law enforcement with technology to assist in intelligence gathering and surveillance. Starting in 1986 with software called Pen-Link for pen register data, Pen-Link, Ltd. has since evolved its software and hardware solutions to include analysis and collection of many forms of communication including voice, data, and IP traffic.

Project Opportunity:
The current Pen-Link application suite consists of a two-tier rich desktop application. With this model, field investigators must return to headquarters and sync their computers to get the latest data. This lack of remote synchronization requires time and effort while costing the field investigators their mobility. Due to these inconveniences, part of the customer base is using other means of synchronization. Furthermore, one of Pen-Link's largest customers has expressed a need for a remote synchronization feature.

Project Solution:
The vision of the Pen-Link Design Studio Project is to provide a robust and extensible multi-tier web application framework to allow rapid development of functional modules and achieve a high degree of flexibility. Along with this framework, the J.D. Edwards Design Studio team will design, develop and implement a web client that will offer core functions of the current Pen-Link application suite via wireless technologies. This solution will provide field investigators with more agility by providing easy real-time data synchronization.
