The NJIT project team consisted of 5 students in their last semester before their BS degree. There were weekly meetings between Vidyalis and the project team. Five of these meetings were held at the Bayer site with representatives of Bayer. In these weekly meetings project plan was discussed, task were distributed for the upcoming weeks as well as results discussed for the accomplished tasks.
Beginning of December the first course was presented to Bayer, which received very positive remarks. All representatives from Bayer were convinced that this approach to e-learning was very attractive and useful within their organization. Bayer decided to come to the final presentation of the project at NJIT and expressed their satisfaction for the delivered results.
To have a satisfied customer (namely Bayer) was the main goal for Vidyalis. This goal has been fully accomplished. In our estimate, Bayer appreciated the energy and fresh approaches of the students as much as the delivered results. Our relationship with Bayer is ongoing and growing. Without a successful project this would not have been possible

[CIT has been a sponsoring company of the capstone graduation projects with NJIT since January 2003. The opportunity for students to integrate real world experience in to their otherwise academic experience is invaluable to them and to us. The real life project experience and wise academic guidance they are getting under high pressure real deadlines supported by dedicated and nurturing instruction is going to give them tremendous advantages in the market place that their peers will not have the benefit of. They and we are very fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in this innovative program under the resourceful guidance of Professor Eljabiri as the instructor. Our collaboration has seen some very quick responsiveness to our ever growing technical demands. We are able to leverage cutting edge technologies like .Net and Microsoft’s SharePoint portal server quickly by sharing this academic relationship]
[Honeywell is now on the sponsor list as a result of this grass roots networking. Additionally one of the student project managers was recently hired by J&J as a result of the positive feed back received by them about his successful involvement with the senior project at CIT.]

They did a very good job with a very difficult problem. At the onset of the project, I had very low expectations for what they could achieve. With this final document, it is clear to me that they appreciate some of the complexity in building a tool for this sort of work.

Jeremy (Jeremy Dela Rosa) has been very accommodating regarding my extremely busy schedule. He has demonstrated a strong ability to learn and adjust throughout this experience. Jeremy performed a terrific job in coordinating the efforts of the team, a task that is very difficult for any leader. He was also able to work well as a liaison between me and the team, ensuring that my requests were communicated properly to all the members. Additionally, as project manager, he was involved in nearly every aspect of the project, and demonstrated a solid understanding of every one of the team’s
Alex K. (Alex Gavrilenko) collaborated well and did a great job on the prototypes, which I was really impressed by. The design was well done and captured what I had envisioned for the ‘look and feel’ of the reporting hub responsibilities.
Peiyu (Peiyu Chang) was able to attend the Six Sigma training course along with Jeremy, which required a lot of time and effort. This showed that she put a lot of effort into the project, and the quality of the Six Sigma documents reflects that as well.

It has been a great pleasure working with Imran & Group. Their professional approach to the project has been excellent and the results can be seen in the project release. They came in to a project from ground scratch and have successfully laid the foundation for further developments. Because of the short time available, the group did not manage to fully complete the project. They were able to establish the design, population of the Web Database, programming of dynamic PHP catalog and shopping cart. The only last incomplete phase is the credit card processing phase. This last phase may either be outsourced to another company or awarded to one of the team members. Nonetheless, the team’s quality of work and energy were all that I could ask for.

I was so impressed with the whole process. I am amazed at how talented, professional and responsive the team was to the project. The group of students that worked on this project quickly understood the scope and was able to deliver the requested tool within a very short period of time. The entire experience was one that I am going to recommend to other managers at IMS.
I just wanted to thank all of you again for the great job you did on this project for IMS. You all created a very usable and user friendly tool that will allow the pricing analysts to do their job more efficiently. I was really impressed yesterday with your final presentation and documentation of this project. f any of you need assistance or advice in the future, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail. Good luck to those of you who are graduating this semester!
