Project Summary

CSHARK is developing a custom C# application to manage an educational exchange/J-1 visa program, building modules for exchange visitors, host organizations, agents and administrative staff. The system includes reporting, user dashboards and registration wizards. The engagement has strong project management and QA processes, with biweekly meetings and a project manager that oversees developers, which has accelerated project progress.

There was no off-the-shelf software that met the organization's needs
Build a custom system from the ground up to manage exchange visitors, host organizations, agents and reporting

Project Deliverables

Multiple user modules (exchange visitors, host organizations, agents)
Reporting module for daily application status and various reports
Admin module with dashboards and administrative functions
Registration wizards and user dashboards

Project Solution

CSHARK used C# to develop a custom application composed of several modules: visitor management, host organization profiles, agent workflows, reporting and an admin module. The app contains multiple user dashboards and registration wizards tailored to four user groups. A project manager oversees the development team, and the vendor runs biweekly refinement and delivery meetings with demos to a staging environment.
