Abstract:Michigan Department of Transportation (M-DOT) started its Systems Re-engineering process with a clear road map the PROSE initiative. PROSE, standing for PROject Support Environment, is an ambitious venture to develop strategic information systems automating all support activities in the project realization process. The objective is to build systems that serve specialized business functions, integrate seamlessly with other applications and respond quickly to process change. Started in August 1993, today PROSE has grown to a suite of four applications serving the division of Engineering Services. Systems for Real Estate, Traffic & Safety and Maintenance Divisions are currently under development. PROSE has gained wide acceptance in the department and continues to grow stronger. Today, PROSE provides immediate access to support task information of all active projects. Electronic transmission helps the process of review by concerned groups. The relevant users are automatically notified of job actions such as, agreement approval, utility status report, task completion and Project Development Engineers can closely monitor the progress of tasks relating to their projects. PROSE has helped define M-DOT standards for Application Design, Development and Implementation. The Technical architecture for PROSE includes ORACLE RDBMS on UNIX servers and PowerBuilder as the front-end tool. Novell LAN with TCP/IP and SQL*Net forms the network environment. Electronic messaging is supported by Novell Groupwise, Document management by WordPerfect. All applications are designed using ERWIN database tool and End-Users are provided with Infomaker for the adhoc-query tool.
