Case Study: Intelligent Software Solutions achieves accelerated mission‑critical mapping, data visualization and interagency collaboration with Adobe ColdFusion

Intelligent Software Solutions - Customer Case Study

Intelligent Software Solutions, a Department of Defense software developer, faced the challenge of delivering an intuitive interface to a central repository of mission‑critical data and enabling geotemporal, interactive analysis for troops and decision makers. ISS moved off limiting Java thick‑clients and adopted Adobe ColdFusion as part of the Adobe Flash Platform (Flex, Flash Builder, AIR, Flash Player) to build scalable, standardized rich Internet applications that work across desktop, mobile, and multi‑touch devices.

Using Adobe ColdFusion-enabled architecture and Flash Platform components, ISS implemented WebTAS FX, the CIDNE front end, Geoquest 2 mapping, and the Tactus AIR app—reducing time to market by about six months, avoiding rewriting ~38,000 lines of code, supporting over three million hits per week on CIDNE, accelerating the transition of 20–30 Java developers, and improving interagency collaboration, visualization, and multi‑form‑factor access. Adobe ColdFusion helped deliver reusable mapping APIs, faster development, and measurable operational impact for military decision makers.
