Martin's Deli thanks Boundless Flight for their generous support.

Congratulations go out to Roxy Giusca, GIS Principal, Boundless Flight

Boundless Flight is proud of our own Roxana Giusca, PhD, Geographical Information Systems (GIS). She is currently deployed to Pioneer Electric Cooperative in southwest Ohio.

In the February edition of the Pioneer EC Update Roxy was congratulated along with the rest of her team for the successful installation of the new tool.

Roxy developed this application from an idea provided by Tom Musick, Dir. of Operations at Pioneer.

This brief article was taken from Pioneer's internal newsletter:

Pioneer Electric Cooperative Update

Outage & Blinking Lights Tool

Tom Musick, Director of Operations, provided a demonstration of an exciting new tool that will enable Pioneer to pinpoint problem outage or blink areas before members (customers) call in. This, in combination with their Member Interactive Voice Response (IVR) automated calling unit, will give them the set of tools they can use to proactively communicate to members concerning their service issues. Member surveys say reliable electricity services are their number one priority. The better Pioneer communicates in this area the more satisfied the members will be.

Thanks to Roxy Giusca, Kris Johnson and Lynn Maniaci for their work with Tom Musick to make the new tool a working reality - great job!

Overview of Groovy and Grails
Java has become the dominate software development platform today. But unfortunately being over a decade old, the Java language and many of the associated web frameworks are starting to show their age. Organizations are finding it difficult to be agile and productive with these technologies. However with large infrastructure, process and training investments in the Java platform, organizations can’t justify start over from scratch with a new platform.

Enter Groovy and Grails. Groovy is a dynamic language built on top of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) with copy and paste compatibility with the Java language but also contains modern day language features like closures and properties. Grails is a web framework and development platform built on top of standard Java frameworks like Spring and Hibernate but simplifies them by using convention over configuration. This combination makes web development on the Java Platform extremely agile while leveraging current investments and the large Java ecosystem.
