CORPORATE TIME TRACKING app
One application to submit weekly TimeSheets, request time off, swap days, and view attendance status reports.
Goal: To have one centralized system to help manage the telecommuting schedule in a team, and replace status email list.
User Roles: Staff member - Manager - Administrator
These roles are hierarchical - a manager is also a staff member; an administrator will also be a manager and a staff member.
Technical Considerations
The application should use central authentication - preferably Shibboleth, but at the very least LDAP or AD.
The application can be written in whatever platform, as long as it's one of our currently targeted platforms (Java, PHP, .NET). Building this in SharePoint or Drupal is acceptable but not a requirement.
For a database, given provisioning considerations, strongly recommend the use MySQL.
I built the app on an existing dev environment.
Optional requirements
• Responsive design
• A native mobile app.
• Integration with Google Calendar, Jabber or Lync to update your status for the day.
• User profiles (pictures, contact info from the directory, titles)
