We have had the privilege to work with many University organizations to develop a multitude of high-performance and high-visibility web sites. Our team's diverse background and large repertoire of skills allows us the flexibility to find the perfect custom solution for each of our clients.
We work with our customers to find an approach that will best fit their project, employing our deep knowledge of campus systems and processes, as well as using new, emerging technologies. For example, the myU Portal project draws information from Office of the Registrar, Human Resources and the X.500 Directory Services and uses that information to present rich, dynamic information appropriate to each user. Other projects leverage existing customer data, making it available to users in exciting new ways.
