Allegiant

www.allegiant.com

The Background:
In May 2000, Telerent and Middle Georgia Corporation merged to become the largest supplier of furniture, fixtures and equipment to the lodging industry. The new company, Allegiant wanted to establish its image as the uncontested leader in the FF&E business.

The Project:
Allegiant selected Thinksource to create the first integrated FF&E e-commerce site and strengthen the brand’s position.

Results:
The site launched on schedule in September 2000. The design introduced Allegiant as a confident, contemporary company. It clearly presented Allegiant’s information and provided a simple e-commerce option for most of the company’s catalog. As Client Rick Hill remarked, “Thinksource helped us become the first FF&E company to truly serve its customers online. They not only brought us great ideas, they were able to execute them in a way that really fit the brand.”

Allegiant and Thinksource will launch a second phase of allegiant.com in March 2001, offering the entire 2,000-product catalog over the web.

Salmon River Software

www.salmonsoft.com

The Background:
Salmon River Software developed an idea to increase the speed, quality and profitability of eSoftware purchases and products, for both the buyer and seller. The idea would require a collaborative online portal to facilitate the exchange of strategic information to purchase, sell and define highly customizable eBusiness solutions.

The Project:
The company chose Thinksource to give the startup a brand identity and to harness the latest web technology to build the new eSoftware marketplace Salmon River dreamed of.

Results:
Thinksource created the brand’s logo and look, launched the company’s website at salmonsoft.com and built the online portal that powers Salmon River Software’s business.

“What Thinksource did was much more than web design or even e-commerce,” said Michael White, CEO and founder of Salmon River Software. “They had the technology and experience to help us launch a true end-to-end solution for eSoftware. We were extremely impressed with the resultses.”

Ledgers

The Background:
In 1994, Ledgers set out to create the first network of bookkeeping, taxation and financing service franchises. In 2000, Ledgers was named the #1 Professional Services franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine.

The Project:
As the largest bookkeeping network in North America, Ledgers realized the internet offers unparalleled opportunities for gathering information and creating communities. They challenged Thinksource to help combine their brick and mortar network with an unmatched collection of free reports, business forms, worksheets, software and powerful business tools online.

Results:
The site achieved the goal of extending the Ledgers brand to the web, ready to handle high volume e-commerce activity.

"Thinksource played a vital role, not only in creating our small business services portal site, but in building the Ledgers Gateway™, the most comprehensive knowledge management system in the franchise industry," said Ledgers President Bill Murphy. "They gave us a high-end, turnkey e-business solution; including on-line inventory management and integration of our existing databases and new information."

Porivo Technologies

www.porivo.com

The Background:
Porivo developed a distributed computing technology platform that allows companies to fully leverage the power of their networked computers. They needed a website that clearly explained what they do and how it works.

The Project:
Thinksource developed a branded website that included an animated flash presentation to clearly explain the concept of distributed computing.

Results:
Client Sam Kirby said "Thinksource delivered an impressive site that really captures our vision. The team was a powerful mix of creative horsepower, technical expertise and project management skill. The interactive flash presentation is an effective way to educate users on the notion of distributed computing and how Porivo is using this exciting model."

Glaxo Wellcome

The Background:
Last year, Glaxo Wellcome developed an internal product management system called RightTrack to manage its pharmaceutical projects from research to product launch. The intranet-based program would save time and money on each project, but the design was inconsistent and difficult to understand.

The Project:
Glaxo brought in Thinksource to create the look and improve the usability of RightTrack. We branded the design, organized the information and developed a more intuitive interface to navigate the site.

Results:
After the redesign, RightTrack was much easier to understand and use. Client Jennifer Hartingh said, "There was an enormous amount of information that had to be organized. Thinksource gave us the information architecture, navigation and design expertise we needed to make RightTrack a very useful tool."

Engage

The Background:
In 1999 Engage (a CMGI company) developed the internet’s first profile-driven media network. The product, called AudienceNet, allows advertisers to target their online messages with unparalleled precision.

The Project:
Two weeks before the scheduled product rollout, Engage tapped Thinksource to develop a website that would be integral to the success of the launch.

Results:
A successful launch. AudienceNet offers one of the largest on-line advertising networks in the world. Engage uses the site to provide product information and to allow clients to access their accounts through the AdManager extranet.

Technauts

www.technauts.com

The Background:
Technauts is a Cary, NC-based company that manufactures network servers the size of laptop computers. These eServers are then sold by Value-Added Resellers, who vary in size from individuals to huge retailers.

The Project:
Technauts retained Thinksource to create an extranet that would provide specific sales information to their Value-Added Resellers. We also created an application on the Technauts intranet that allowed employees to grant privileges to VARs based on their relationship with Technauts.

Results:
The extranet replaced faxed spreadsheets as the primary method of communicating sales information between employees and the resellers. While under retainer, we have completed a number of other Technauts projects, including an application that allowed the P.R. department to send press releases for approval and then instantly publish them to the website.
