Web Applications
Web sites and online marketing have evolved rapidly in the past few years to deliver enterprise level solutions at a low cost through the use of templates and Open Source (OS) solutions. This means that our customers can now expect to benefit by editing their own content through real-time What You See Is What You Get (WYSWYG) interface. This allows customers to manage their site and its functionality without a lot of technical web programming knowledge.
The following is a list of the OS system functionality most often requested by our clients and which are available within our selected Open Source solution.

Open Source solutions offer developers and their customers a frame work for an enterprise level web site with built in plug and play functionality. The best part is that OS systems are free through a worldwide community of support developers who work together to enhance, refine, document and support a particular OS system. Not all OS systems are built equally and they must be configured to respond to each customer needs based on the business profile, customer profile, product or service offering and their ability to undertake the ongoing management of their web site.
We work with you to define, configure and implement the functionality that best responds to your management needs and the needs of your customers. We can design and implement the right tool set for your site ranging from a brochure site to an enterprise level solution that includes some or all of the plug and play modules listed above.
We also integrate existing web sites and their functionality into the OS system; as well our custom programmed functionality. We are constantly researching and testing available open source solutions based on our customers' needs. These are some of the kinds of questions we consider when selecting the right solution for our customers.
- Which Open Source Solution has the best range of plug and play web management tools?
- How intuitive and easy to use are these web management tools?
- What kind of support and documentation is provided?
- Is there on-going support for the products continued development?
- How easily can functionality be integrated or customized?
- How easily can existing web content and data be integrated into the OS solution?
- What level of skill does the client have to support the OS implementation?
- Does the client require ongoing support and training?
We customize our enterprise level solutions where it makes sense, and source out off-the-shelf solutions as a more cost effective alternative implementation strategy. Our production skill set includes the capability to select, design, implement, configure and custom program (as required) an enterprise level solution, including:-
Custom Development & Integration
