Welcome
to the 4th edition of the monthly Dataworks newsletter
This
shorter than usual edition of our newsletter most definitely
bears all the signs of a Christmas issue. The snow and penguin
might have given it away a little but some of the work recently
completed by Dataworks for
the ESB is
also full of festive cheer.
We
hope that you have enjoyed all of our issues so far. There
has been a lot of truly exciting projects developed here at
Dataworks this year and the coming year promises to be a another
busy one. So, Happy Christmas everyone from all of us and
see you in the new year.

 Waterford
Regional Hospital chooses Dataworks to develop an Operation
Theatre Scheduling System. The system will provide a standardised
solution to control all theatre lists maintained within the
Waterford Regional Hospital. "This is a critical component
to the overall success of a theatre review being currently
undertaken by Waterford Regional Hospital"
says Peter Roche, IS Manager, WRH. The
aim is to provide an up-to-date patient master file for small
SQL Server based applications that require access to patient
details. Other features of the made-to-measure system include
scheduling of patients/procedures, scheduling of theatre sessions
& monitoring of actual theatre activity versus scheduled
theatre activity.

Dataworks
produces the ESB's annual interactive Christmas card
Multimedia is probably the most appropriate word to describe
this years Christmas eCard. Material used for this innovative
card put together in Macromedia Flash MX include photographs,
original paintings & illustrations by artist Ciara Murphy
Roosli and a series of children's drawings (winners of this
year's ESB kids competition entitled 'The ESB Saved Christmas')
and of course Mr Claus himself. This Monty-Pythonesque animation
is a layered voyage through Ireland & its seasons finishing
in the depth of Winter with the ESB's official corporate printed
card signed by Irish artist Tony McDonnell. The whole animation
was squeezed into an amazingly small 122kb file, so don't
wait any longer and check it out at www.dataworks.ie/esb

Waterford
Institute of Technology (WIT) selects Dataworks to develop
a database-driven website for the Forest Vegetation Alternative
Management Systems Research Group (FORVAMS). Funded
by COFORD (National Council for Forest Research and Development)
under the National Development Plan, the site will be administrated
by members of FORVAMS using a custom-made content management
system. "An extensive library of forest weeds and alternative
management systems will be built-up over the years and will
provide a unique reference tool for everyone involved in forestry"
says Dr Nick Mc Carthy of WIT. Other features such as the
forum and news archive will offer a unique networking platform
for people working in the industry, along with students and
researchers.
