eBusiness Solutions
iEffect has been advising on and implementing eBusiness solutions since 2004. With global eCommerce revenues growing rapidly for the B2B and B2C markets companies have had to move away from the traditional bricks and mortar business model. Today, every business needs an eBusiness strategy that is aligned with its overall business strategy. iEffect can advise on the best way to achieve this and follow up with the implementation. Our consultants get to know your business from top to bottom and based on their technical knowledge, can build an eBusiness solution that will help your business thrive.
Our experience in building bespoke eBusiness platforms ranges across multiple industries including financial services, automotive, pharmaceuticals and business information. We pride ourselves on becoming'technology partners' for our clients - once we have built an application for you we provide maintenance services that ensure your operation is aligned to the changing business environment.
Our eBusiness solutions include eCommerce websites, web-enabling existing applications, migration to web applications and the development of new web applications.
eCommerce Websites
Internet sales have become an important part of most businesses and some businesses rely 100% on the internet for their revenue. eCommerce websites reduce overheads and combined with an effective online and offline marketing strategy can bring in sales 24 hours a day.
One of iEffect's core strengths is building eCommerce websites including a website front end integrated with a secure payment gateway and a back end that gives administrators of the website full control at varying levels. Our in-house team works with you to make sure the final product is in line with your vision for the business and that it leads visitors into a purchase.
Web-Enabling Existing Applications
Legacy application that are not web enabled but contain crucial information are often a hurdle for companies that want to adopt internet technologies. Moving these applications to the web can be costly, but iEffect can usually offer a cost effective solution that will enable the data stored in the application to be used in an internet environment. We offer three levels of web-enabling, all of which are fully customisable.
- Presentation Level Web-Enabling: the look and feel of the application remain unchanged, but it is accessible through the internet.
- Functional Level Web-Enabling: the existing application's logic is used, but the information is presented a new web-accessible interface.
- Data Level Web-Enabling: the programming logic and the interface of the existing application are adapted, with the data files remaining intact.
Migration to Web Applications
For more complex applications, and depending on the business requirement, the entire application may have to be converted to a web-based environment. iEffect carries out application migrations in parallel to use of the legacy application and we ensure minimal disruption.
A dedicated team is assigned to the migration process, headed by a project manager with extensive experience in migrating legacy applications onto web-based platforms. Extensive requirements gathering and research is carried out both onsite and offsite to ensure that the effectiveness and functionality of the final solution exceeds that of the legacy application.
New Web Application Development
Other than eCommerce websites there are numerous web applications that can be built to make your business run more efficiently. Most businesses are unique in the way they have developed and the internal processes that they use, making more necessary. In terms of flexibility, it often makes sense to have a bespoke application available through the internet so that it can be accessed by users anytime anywhere. |
