What was wrong

An investment business operated from offices in Spain, London, Florida, Canada, Los Angeles, Costa Rica and South Carolina and had no common back office: accounting, reporting, dashboards and communications were all local.

What I built

Around ten Windows applications — accounting, reporting, dashboards and a custom chat system with full logging — deployed by click-once so every launch pulled the current version, driven throughout by web services. Also the web-based reporting for the group's poker site, and BOSS, the operational system for gambling floors in three countries, converting every local-currency figure at the rate for the day it was played.

What happened

Designed, built and maintained the whole estate over eight years.

Have a system like this one?

Tell me what it does, what it is written in, and what breaks when it goes down. I will say plainly whether I can help.
