Our Capabilities

At nearly every university and in virtually all K-12 school districts, technology has been deployed in silos with no consideration given to the existence of a larger organizational infrastructure. Most often this results in a lack of standards and policy and a disregard for the integration of institutional web-based services. Organizations who continue to practice this approach will find that their high on-going costs are not resulting in the content-rich, service-oriented web presence needed to meet today's digital business practices and the expectations of the Net Generation.

Web Technologies Assessment

Through focus groups, surveys, interviews, benchmarking, and with the utilization of various web metrics, our industry experts will provide you with an institutional-level summary of the current state of your web presence. This white paper is complimented by a recommendations document that will outline the type of systems that can be developed and integrated to better leverage existing and future web technologies. The roadmap of services will ultimately result in streamlined business process, better customer services, and an over-all institutional cost-savings.

Solutions Development

A white paper is only good if it is acted on. Pre-compiling open-source technologies for the various hosting environment stacks allows us to quickly customize and deploy a solution that will meet your identified requirements. Using non-proprietary, industry-backed solutions lacking software licensing fees and absent of on-going support contracts, you can protect your investment by hiring qualified staff to sustain and enhance the solution once handed-off. Developing on industry standards allows any person with the programming knowledge to immediately be familiar with the systems underlying code and, building upon an XML framework allows content to be created once and published everywhere.

"When it comes to web services for institutes of higher education many in this niche of the industry are shooting into the dark. Although they may have a good idea of what is needed, how can they be sure that they are on the right track. When you consider the digital divide that exists between administrators and the millennials (net generation), this question becomes even more daunting. Of course they can look at general web trends and infer where they should go, but how smart, in terms of a business model, is this approach?"
