"Before I was referred to NOVALynx, I contacted more than 50 companies and I could not find a single programmer who was willing to take a real interest in our project and create a website to fulfill my vision... I cannot adequately express the respect and admiration that I have for Arnold and Lise. The quality of their work is unsurpassed and their attitude toward their business and, more importantly their customers, has to be experienced to be believed..." Leonard Digout, President.

Thoma Ewen is a spiritual weaver with a studio on a large tract of land in the Gatineau Hills, Quebec. This is an ongoing project for NOVALynx, showing the wealth of beautiful works Ms. Ewen has created.

"...to share the beauty and mystery of WEAVE..." Thoma Ewen.

This project came about on the basis of Lise's year long survey and analysis of the Canadian district energy sector in her former capacity of Danish Trade Commissioner. She was engaged to prepare and execute a presentation on the Canadian District Energy situation to members of the Danish Board of District Heating, at a membership meeting in Denmark.

As a result, Lise was contracted to coordinate the Danish delegation's participation in the Canadian District Energy Conference in Ottawa. At the same time she prepared visits to various Canadian plants by the delegation, prior to the conference.

Arnold was photographer for the Danish Board of District Heating during their visit to Canada.

"Lise did all the coordinating for the tour, which was extremely successful, not even the smallest detail had been overlooked by Lise in her planning of a very interesting and varied program...
...Back home again, it is wonderful to watch all the pictures and once again be in Canada." Pia Lorup, DBDH Secretariat.

Arnold acted as official photographer for the Canadian District Energy Association Conference in Ottawa, April 2002.

Case File! was written to manage homicide, sexual assault and fraud investigations. The major crime units of approximately 60 police forces now use the program. It begins collecting data the instant a call comes in for a major crime. It tracks all witnesses, suspects, every word of all statements and the evidence. It is used throughout the case and may be brought into the courtroom to rapidly retrieve data from thousands of pages of evidence and testimony.

It is currently used by Regional Police in Metropolitan Toronto, Durham, York, Peel, Halton, Hamilton-Wentworth, Niagara, Barrie, Windsor, and by the Ontario Ministry of The Attorney General, Special Investigations Unit Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General, Ontario Ministry of Health Investigations Unit, Port Elgin Police Service, Parks Canada - Calgary and Jasper, R.C.M.P. Missing Persons Registry, New Westminster BC Police Service, District Attorney's Office of Shreveport, Louisiana, etc...

"In order to write the program it was necessary for Mr. Matthews to grasp complex investigative and legal procedures used by our force and the judiciary...The quality of the software went far beyond our expectations and was immediately utilized by the field investigators...I found him to be a dedicated, responsible individual and a consummate professional" Neale Tweedy A/S/Inspector Homicide Squad, Metro Toronto Police Service.

SkillSource was a database developed for the Hamilton Public Library system working with the Ontario Training Corporation to put all the information about training courses in the Hamilton area into one searchable database. It was distributed to over 50 local organizations and was a successful, award-winning project.

"His programs quite simply do the job; they reveal thoroughness and a commitment to continuous quality improvement...He demonstrates a clear sense of the ethics of customer service and value for money...I can say without hesitation that Mr. Matthews performance as a programmer has been an essential component of the success of the SkillSource project." Wendy Newman, Area Manager, Hamilton Public Library.

This large project involved conversion of a slow and labour intensive paper tracking system for Canadian, US and foreign patents into a computerized database system that could rapidly search and retrieve information on all patents in the GE offices in Canada. Its data entry system collected all the information for new patents.

This was one of our older projects and since the time of its development, GE Canada no longer has a Patents Department in Canada.

"The program has been in constant use in Patents and Licensing Services (PALS) of GE Canada...it contains all the pertinent information on each patent case with which we must deal. I cannot overstress the importance of this program to the PALS operation...it seems relatively immune to corruption problems we have experienced with other software programs." Edward H. Oldham, Manager, Patents and Licensing Services, GE Canada, January 11, 1994.

We have done many projects for Cantel and Rogers Cantel:

CNEC (Cantel Network Equipment Catalogue) used across Canada to rapidly extract data for creating orders from a large catalogue of company approved products.

Cantel Marketing: program to convert mainframe account information for all corporate cellular phones in Canada into a microcomputer database accessible at all locations in Canada.

Cantel Engineering: This project goes back to the early days of Cantel in the late 80's. This system was used to maintain, track and produce detailed reports on all engineering purchase orders and related invoices for the development of their cellular network in Canada.

"The delivery of the electronic catalogue by Mr. Matthews was well received in addition to being on time and under budget...the success of the project was largely due to the commitment, quality of work, and responsiveness that Mr. Matthews provided." John S. Hooey, Manager, Service Deployment, Cantel."

This database program tracks all engineering projects of the company. It contain all expenses, status of work and progress payment, legal relationships, reliability of clients, etc.

It started as a rescue mission. The original programmer had vanished when the programming terrain became too rough. The program was completely rewritten and merged with the remnants of the original program which were gradually phased out.

"This system is the best we have had to date...He has shown creativeness in working to our criteria and requirements for a database system". Tracy Colley, Office Manager, Brosz and Associates, International Forensic Engineers.

We have developed many programs for the Royal Ontario Museum over the years:

Library program to track all orders and expenditures.

Program to keep track of human resources data.

Mail management program to handle large mailings.

"...He is extremely proficient, having a breadth of problem-solving solutions under his belt, so to speak, and he is a great diagnostician in situations never before encountered. Staff whom he works with praise both his patience and speed." Julia Matthews, Head, Library and Archives, Royal Ontario Museum.

As the size of the database used by View Finders grew to contain thousands of detailed records, the speed of retrieval for a single search dropped from seconds to several minutes. We rewrote much of the application so that the speed of retrieval for queries on our client's network was reduced to a second or two.

"I found him to be very professional, dedicated and detail oriented in all of his work. He did an excellent job...exceeded my expectations by making the impossible a reality on a limited budget...I applaud a job well done" Loriann Frenette, President, View Finders, Marketing Research Services.

Program developed for the cardiac catheterization laboratory. It maintains all the data recorded for thousands of patients and automatically does complex calculations from the data entered for rapid assessment and interpretation.

We developed a computer program to track progress of engineering projects in the electronics division of Ford Motors. It was written using a very detailed and comprehensive set of specifications. Unfortunately, we did not have the pleasure of interacting and working with end users the way we prefer to do.

This was the first major database project done by Arnold Matthews Consulting Inc. It had been a project that was not progressing well. Arnold Matthews was called in to review and rewrite the program, and within a month results began to show. The program gathered statistical information on editorial content on individual companies, from television, radio, magazines and newspapers. The results were used to put a dollar value on the editorial content.
