Background

Colour Matters International Inc. is a New York based company that develops, publishes, markets and sells design and production software packages for the apparel, textile, accessories and surface design industries.  Colour Matters' products help fashion designers and clothing manufacturers sample their ideas before production.  The business is expanding rapidly and now has more than 40 distribution agents worldwide.

Requirements

Colour Matters originally had a static website that was set up by an external company several years ago and they no longer had anyone to support or update it.  Although the website was intended to be an information/selling aid to the company it showed limitations rather than possibilities.

Colour Matters wished to have a new glossy website that could be updated quickly and easily without having to hire new staff to maintain it.  They also required an intranet that could be accessed globally by resellers around the world.  Colour Matters' resellers originally received new and upgraded software via the postal system.  more...

Background

An international bank, employing thousands of staff throughout the world with group assets of over €2.5 billion, needs to be able to share information quickly, easily and accurately to serve a global business that works and trades around the clock.

Requirements

The client has numerous back office applications that require access to trade and position information for trade confirmation and reconciliation.  Previously many of these processes had been carried out manually and were consequently expensive, tedious and prone to human error.  The client required automated solutions that could be used by non-technical staff.  These applications had some common requirements: they all needed to integrate with the existing systems, they required strict access controls, they needed to be easily maintained and they needed to be scaleable.

These problems could have been met by writing separate client server applications but this approach would have meant the overlapping requirements would be ignored.  In addition, deploying and maintaining client applications across a global organisation would prove to be cumbersome and expensive.
