IT Outsourcing
CASE STUDY
The Smithsonian Institution built a custom
payroll interface in Visual Basic to process
payroll data collected by the National Finance
Center and create accounting transactions for
posting to their general ledger system. After the
system had been in operation for a number of
years Smithsonian no longer had access to system
design documentation needed to integrate the
PAYES system with their new general ledger
system. Smithsonian called on Macro Solutions
to develop detailed system documentation of the
existing Visual Basic code and Crystal Reports,
and provide system enhancements to the code on an
as needed basis. Macro Solutions was able to
identify the appropriate resource to assist
Smithsonians internal staff.

IT requirements. Macro Solutions is able to
