Web Tools for 24 by 7 Information Management

VRP Consulting Simplifies Cisco Systems Information Management 

VRP created a unified suite of web tools for Cisco Systems to simplify the Information Management of the vast amount of information being generated and communicated. VRP’s web tools include the following bundled capabilities: Browser Compatibility Checker, Link Checker, and Spell Checker. The Browser Compatibility module was created to ensure that there is viewing compatibility in Internet Explorer to Firefox and beyond to ensure a seamless external user experience. The Link Checker module alerts the VRP administrator to problems as they occur and result in broken links enabling them to investigate and make changes quickly. The Spell checker module ensures that content is spelled correctly. Given the international nature of Cisco's internal and external facing content there is the capability to work in multiple languages.

Web Tools for Oncologists

VRP Designs User-Friendly Interface 

VRP helped Cogent Medicine implement complex relationships among a large set of new data objects, systems integration with the existing databases, and create a user-friendly interface that presents this complex web of information in a meaningful and useful way. The project contained many layers within and of the project itself. These layers included: information architecture, database design, data connection or linkage, and presentation. Our staff worked alongside Cogent's team to solve problems and architect, program and implement solutions.

 

Global Resources Enabling Web Development at Light Speed

VRP Works Quickly and Efficiently 

VRP developed and made the Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) website live in less than a week just in time for CNN's special on the non-profit aired. After discovering the code written by the original web developers was unusable, the decision was made in conjunction with the New York design firm that the only way possible to meet the non profit's timeline was to start again from scratch. VRP worked night and day to complete the site, handing off work between offshore web developers and US web developers to get the work done quickly and effectively in the limited time remaining before the broadcast. The web site successfully absorbed over 1 million hits that evening during the course of the broadcast. While not the ideal conditions for web development work, it is a tribute to the design, the architecture and graphics, and the web development team that this site was brought up fully functional in 4 calendar days. www.ml4t.org

Cost-Effective Product Development through VRP Managed Services Methodology

 VRP Customizes Applications for Product Management Organizations 

VRP worked with product management organizations such as Rogue IT, Resdida, Telesocial, and Bottlenecks to bring custom applications software to market in several product development environments at a cost that is within their budgets.

Rogue IT came to VRP with a request for software product development using Salesforce.com platform technologies. VRP provided Rogue IT with the GreatVines platform, an application created entirely in Apex, the Salesforce proprietary platform language, and which operates entirely in the cloud. The GreatVines application also manages consumer-marketing programs, including wine club, online commerce, and tasting-room retail sales. In addition the credit card payment-processing environment was developed as a native Salesforce.com applications extension to further enable eCommerce on the Force.com Sites web platform.

VRP helped Resdida bring the Mobilize platform to market, a PHP environment featuring campaign and channel management, quick send features, list management, and data metrics. To meet Resdida's needs, VRP deployed a flex team of two VRP resources that was driven architecturally by a VRP onshore applications architect. www.resdida.com 

Telesocial's CTO worked with VRP to create the Bitmouth platform. Using the Managed Services Methodology, VRP assembled a 3-person Java development team to work with Telesocial's CTO to create the Bitmouth product, which gives network providers a bridge to the social web using carrier-class IP based services and traditional telephony services. www.telesocial.com 

VRP built a social network site for Bottlenecks. The final product, executed entirely by VRP's offshore resources, incorporates event management, blogging, email marketing and unique Facebook and Twitter capabilities to pump up the buzz around the wine experience. These capabilities range from the traditional eCommerce capabilities such as wine club memberships and bridal registries to the ability to toast a friend informing them of the latest good bottle of wine including how to purchase the wine through a full shopping cart checkout capability at Bottlenotes. www.bottlenotes.com 

VRP Updates Nonprofit's Website

Serving Donors and Grantee’s - “How Change Happens”

VRP helped update The Marin Community Foundation web architecture and application integration as well as create a custom Content Management System CMS. Over several weeks a long-term architectural plan was worked out with the finance and program stakeholders that looked to extend the investment in the MicroEdge Foundation Power accounting platform for 5 to 7 years while paving the way for new systems development to support the expanded donor advised funds campaign. 

The plan included a new donor portal serving the donor advised funds, a new grantee portal serving the community constituents, a grants evaluation center, and a grants management portal to provide end-to-end visibility grant making life cycle. These initiatives extended and enhanced the Marin Community Foundation’s core legacy applications platform and enable the organization to keep pace with the change that would be happening in support of the community.

VRP and Jobscience

Web 3.0 Development using Force.com Sites Technology

VRP reinvented the Jobscience website to integrate the latest Salesforce CRM technologies. Being so well versed in the implementation of Salesforce CRM applications, instead of using PHP, an older programming language, VRP was able to build the entire site with Apex, Force.com's proprietary programming language. 

The end result is that Jobscience's site was built entirely in native code, allowing Jobscience to deliver the best customer experience possible across its SaaS platform and leaving the site ready to add in new functionality quickly and easily as the need arises. As a software developer, Jobscience is continually working with Salesforce to create new products that will meet the needs of its customer base. The website VRP created for them integrates Force dynamic technology into the fabric of Jobscience's site and allows for better support of existing products and easier implementation of new products. VRP continues to work with Jobscience in deployment of the newly released CMS Force tool, a content management system program within the Force sites environment.
