Empisys spent much of 2011 building applications for use by Financial Advisors affiliated with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, a leading New York-based financial institution which provides investment banking and asset management services to companies and individuals worldwide. Technologies employed for this project included HTML, Javascript, jQuery, AJAX, ASP.Net, financial data APIs, and proprietary MSSB financial applications and services.

Empisys spent the first quarter of 2011 building user interfaces for the NBA Dynasty social sports game built by Playdom. NBA Dynasty is an innovative game built on the Facebook application platform that allows players to build teams with their favorite players from any period in NBA history, and to compete with their friends' teams. Empisys' consulting work on this project during the intense pre-release crunch helped the dev team to launch a fun, eye-catching, high-quality game which fully met expectations for functionality and scalability. Technologies employed included Javascript and jQuery, Java, Redis, MySQL, Apache Tomcat, Playdom and Facebook APIs.

Empisys built the Ergy Web app for remote energy usage monitoring and statistical reporting. The Ergy UI uses custom Shockwave Flash controls to implement virtual instrumentation. Instrument data is read using AJAX calls to a Web-based data API for live updates of charts. In addition to the virtual instrument UI, Empsis built user registration, session management, email notification, user account management, and system administration components of this application.

Bizpad is now open to the public! Bizpad is a super-easy yet powerful tool for project and contact management. It makes creating, sharing, and tracking of your projects, tasks, documents, and notes as easy as writing notes on a pad of paper.

Bizpad has been developed by Empisys as lead developer in partnership with Xiosoft.

Empisys announces the delivery of diagnostics components which have been developed in collaboration with Microsoft's HPC division. These diagnostics will be packaged with Microsoft Windows HPC Pack 2008 R2. They provide built-in self-test capabilities to the Windows HPC Server cluster as well as providing reference examples of diagnostics tests for other developers' reference. Windows HPC Pack 2008 R2 is available for download from the Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 Beta Program page.

Empisys has opened an office on Pearl Street in Boulder in conjunction with DS47. Pearl Street is a hotbed of small, innovative technology companies which we will leverage to find partners and opportunities. It's also a very nice place to work! Check out this story from the Boulder Daily Camera about Pearl Street's culture of small innovative firms:

Empisys generated high-resolution scientific visualizations of a skeleton model derived from the National Library of Medicine's Visible Human Project female data set using a custom parallel engine based on LLNL VisIt 1.12.0 running on a 64 processor Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 cluster. The video below shows this skeleton model.

Empisys generated a high-resolution movie showing a simulation of a large hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico using data published by the University Center for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). This simulation was generated using a custom parallel engine based on LLNL VisIt 1.12.0 running on a Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 cluster. The video below shows this hurricane simulation.

Empisys generated high-resolution scientific visualizations of frog anatomy using data from the Stanford Virtual Creatures project. This simulation was generated using a custom parallel engine based on LLNL VisIt 1.12.0 running on a Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 cluster. The video below shows this frog simulation.

Empisys has been engaged to build a dynamic Web application to provide valuable services to businesses and individuals. This application will be implemented using leading-edge distributed SOA technologies, including an AJAX client, LAMP service layer, and RESTful service API. It will run on the scalable, reliable Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. Details of this project will remain confidential until the public version 1.0 launch, so watch this space for updates!
