History


History…. When it started?

This adventure started early 2001 with a first project for Fabricom (Tractebel/Suez Group) using e-portal 2.3.

Client needed a webmaster oriented tool with :

• Creation of pages by webmaster

• Customization of the pages with components and documents

• Use e-portal architecture


History…. 2001

MacCann-Erickson (Advertisement company) together with a partner ordered us a Discussion Forum component (mid 2001)

• Component was created using e-portal content management system

• Using standards (xml-xsl)

• Re-usability was the key success of the component

This component was re-used by many other projects (Eurocontrol – SwissLife – Boehringer Ingelheim)


History…. 2002

History…. Why it started?

Director is a very good framework, with out of the box developer experience.

It’s weakness is, missing the out of the box end user experience.

Director is dificult to sell as it is, client business managers needs and pains are not met.

Studio functionality is purely based on client business users feedback and not on technical requirements.

Reduce intranet implementation time (Down to 15 man/days)
