    Online Forum Improves Knowledge-Sharing

    Thursday, October 25th, 2007

    A social club with members ranging from beginners to experts needed a more efficient way to share knowledge, resources, and information with its members and the general public.

    We deployed a free forum for the club where registered users could easily ask questions, announce events, and share equipment.

    Software Enhancements Lead to Membership Growth

    Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

    A member-supported not-for-profit organization whose mission is to to inspire and assist residents of their county in creating, strengthening, and preserving a healthy environment had been relying on an application developed in¬† Microsoft Access for managing their membership. We made changes to the database to facilitate an improved membership renewal process. We also included changes to track both a member’s renewal date and also the date that they first became a member. We enhanced the user interface to minimize errors and streamline the reporting features.

    The organization grew its membership by 60% in less than one year through the process improvements made possible with these software enhancements.

    Affordable Office Network

    Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

    A not-for-profit organization whose mission is to inspire and assist residents of their county in creating, strengthening, and preserving a healthy environment relies a lot on interns from local universities. This results in a very transiet labor force. To gain long-term benefit from the intern projects, a cost-effective intranet for their small office was required.

    Using donations of used equipment and inexpensive new equipment we implemented a network of computers to facilitate document sharing for group collaboration and to ease staff transitions.
