1 Company Profile and Organization
RomSoft provides high-quality IT
consultancy and continues to be the
partner of choice for reputed
Western European companies
seeking to outsource software
development activities ranging from
custom applications to embedded
systems.
In plain English, a lot of important
organisations trust us with their
software development needs and we
always exceed their expectations.
Our market is a very serious one,
but we are so good at what we do
that we can also afford to have fun
telling you all about it
1.1 Our History
The company was founded in 2001 and its first employees were the company founders themselves,
Nicu Popescu and Dorin Cristea. They both entered this partnership with over ten years experience
in software development and solid management backgrounds acquired while working in an Austrian-
Romanian partnership a strong leader in the financial software outsourcing market at the time.
Today, the company employs 47 people, project managers, software developers, architecture
designers and testers. Over the years, RomSoft targeted almost exclusively the external market,
offering software development and consultancy services for companies all over Western Europe
such as Germany, Austria, Italy, Norway or Denmark.
1.2 Our Profile
We specialise in developing custom software applications. We work our best in order to design and
deliver the ideal bespoke solution for our customers. Our ability to deliver outstanding quality
solutions under tight deadlines is one of the main reasons our customer base keeps growing.
Software development companies outsource to us their development phases such as requirements
analysis, architectural and detailed design, coding, testing and creating user documentation.
The collaboration models based on out-tasking became part of our extended strategy, as these
models ensure our clients complete transparency over the development process.
We believe in helping others benefit from our hard-earned expertise, too, so we offer consultancy
services for software development start-ups, as well as any companies looking to improve their
development process.
A more recent portfolio diversification consists in our participation in research projects, mostly with
application to the telemedicine field and e-Health.

1.3 Company Organization
Effective teamwork has always been a recipe for success, so all our staff are part of teams within
which, depending on the various projects we are involved in, they play different roles. Apart from
project teams, we also have testing and technical documentation teams. In this way, everybody has
the opportunity to improve their skills and nobody is missing out on the fun.
1.4 4P Principle
Experience has only confirmed what we already knew: that the key to increasing the chances of
success on software projects is to look after and get the most out of people, processes, and
products.
This is what we believe in most:
People: Find people who know the product and can work in the process. Keep investing in
knowledge transfer and staff training, and the value of company will keep growing, too.
Process: Manageable and transparent processes represent the foundation of long term win-
win partnerships with our customers.
Project: Promote the latest software development technologies. Help customers use them.
Encourage customer involvement at all the development stages.
Product: Always keep the product in focus. Respond in a rapid and flexible manner to
customer requests.

offer (if not narrowed by other user restrictions) a consolidated, real-time view of the lab hierarchy
and all its entities.
4.1.1 Overview
WAM is a reflection of the real-life lab hierarchy, assisting clinicians and lab workers to manage
correctly the day to day operations that need to be carried out with respect to its various entities:
lab customers, workplaces, rules, tests, patients, users, etc.

4.2.1 Overview
Case Manager is part of the software installed together with the new XE-5000 Sysmex analyser and
allows extending the reporting capabilities of the analyser with clinical case information.
Case Manager is designed to assist clinicians and lab workers in understanding correctly the results
obtained in the haematology laboratories.
The software allows a consolidated view of a positive case, including the overall condition of the
diagnosed patient, in-depth information about the disease in general, and recommendations and
guidance for further interventions.
4.2.2 Main Functionalities
Case Manager interacts with the user in the lab, as well as with the clinician
For each result that is received, a set of rules is executed, in order to detect samples that
match the criteria of a case
When a positive case is identified, the Case Manager Server sends out a notification to the
Case Manager Client, to alert the lab user
4.2.3 Implementation
Programming language: C#
Technology/Framework: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 on .NET Framework 3.0
Database: SQL Server

4.3 Web Data Content Synchronization

Figure 5: NPS Main Screen
NPS allows Sysmex world-wide technicians to cache specific documentation (like service manuals or
knowledge base otherwise available only on the Sysmex web site) on their systems, to be available
when they dont have access to an Internet connection.
4.3.1 Main Functionalities
NPS is a client application that works in three modes:
Online browser (users browse the documents web site as they would do with a standard
Internet browser)
Synchronization mode (the documents from the web site are locally cached)
Offline browser (users browse the locally cached documents as they would do when having
access to an Internet connection)
The application is needed as the documentation web site has a set of particularities that restrict the
usage of caching capabilities of a standard Internet browser.
The synchronization mode is implemented using a WCF service deployed on the documents web
server.
