Project Gateway

About Project Gateway

The Project Gateway seeks to create a knowledge management and collaboration portal on a web-based environment that allows the tacit knowledge in UBS AG, Investment Bank - Singapore Operations (UBS-IBOPS) to be cataloged and accessed by all employees throughout Singapore. Project Gateway provides an avenue for users to create and update personal profiles, departments, projects, business process information and systems knowledge. The web portal integrates Web 2.0 technologies such as custom tagging and user-generated contents to enrich user experience and drives a collaborative framework for knowledge sharing.

Team Gateway

The team comprises of 4 members who all had interned with UBS AG previously.

  • James Phang
  • Joanne Tan
  • Tan Jin Jie
  • Tham Jun Quan

FYP Supervisor

We are glad to have Professor Benjamin Gan as our supervisor as well as being a mentor to us.

Our Client

We are fortunate to have UBS AG, Investment Banking - Singapore Operations as our FYP Sponsor. Special thanks goes to Donald Kow, our sponsor, as well as Wayne Lim, liaison for UBS AG. We're also grateful to both Lynette Poh and Chua Wei Wei, managers of Data Services Group (DSG) and Global Reconcilations Utility (GRU) respectively, who volunteered their departments to participate as users in this project. Lastly, we also thank Neil and team for supporting us with the IT deployment and also providing valuable feedback along the way.

Weekly Progress Summary

Week 01

Completed

  • Iteration 3 with prototype UI done but not connected to database yet.
  • Using XWiki
  • Presented to get UBS business buy in 24 Dec 2008 (dept heads)

To do

  • Confirm meeting with technical to discuss the deployment environment (policies)
 - met up IT on 06 Jan 2009 to discuss on deployment environment. 
 - IT will get back to us on the technologies that Project Gateway proposed (Struts, MSSQL, Java)
  • Add to the prototype (connect to database, use real data, etc)
 - working on Struts framework. (JQ)
  • Need to work out details of requirement (use cases) with each department (Data Services Group)
 - Initiation (JQ)
  • Learn XWiki
    • Connect to database. In case XWiki does not deploy with MSSQL, can we use MySQL?
    • Customize the wiki to have department structured data (plug in)
- cannot connect to MSSQL
- Deployment environment does not support MySQL. 

Risk

  • Understanding Xwiki (High)
  • Setting up meeting with technical and DSG (Medium)

X Factor

  • Deploy it within a department (Global Reconcilation Utility) with UAT sign off.
  • Adding a structured data onto Xwiki for this project (deciding on the data structure to use)


Week 02

  • To Do List
    • To find out how to integrate with HRI. More details. Call using web services or through other way?
    • Team decided to build from scratch instead of building using XWiki framework.
    • Update proposal
    • Editor to use? (e.g. MediaWiki) Formatting in HTML? Can user cut and paste?
    • User Login (This will not be done because we will use UBS single sign-on)
    • To find out more details how this will be implemented.
