Sears

When Sears needs a flexible reporting solution for creating and distributing over 30,000 reports nightly, they turned to WebStandard.

The system moved Sears from paper based publishing of content to online distribution of internal and partner reports.

Cisco

We helped create and manage a web-based inventory management system between Cisco and Flextronics.

The system complemented the traditional MRP inventory management process and provided a dashboard to management of both companies.

Johnson & Johnson

We helped Johnson & Johnson define a new system architecture for migrating over 2500 sites from their legacy system to Drupal.

The work involved over 250 business units, each with their own public facing sites, several micro-sites, and internal sites.

Cast Iron

Cast Iron (now IBM) needed a portal to communicate and distribute materials to their partners... we designed and deployed a solution that allowed them to define different levels of partners and secure their collateral and contact information in a authenticated user section. The site was used by hundreds of partners that were segregated in 5 major categories. Each partner would have access to different information based on their partnership level. The portal was integrated with their public facing blog and marketing communication site which was developed as phase II of this project.
