| Challenge: A
division of a large company needed to find
a new home for their enterprise website that contained over
2000 pages and utilized WebSphere J2EE, CGI, and Oracle database
technologies. Their host was charging fees that were too high
in a climate where budgets were shrinking. |
| Solution:
Thomas Pittman surveyed the site's
performance and technology requirements and recommended a
move from dedicated Sun UNIX servers to a less expensive LINUX
solution. Thomas Pittman installed Websphere and Oracle
on the new server and performed the database data, page, and
other technological migrations. The site was up on the new server
with no difficulties with the switch occurring over a weekend.
The company felt the $8500/month savings but end users of the
site didn't see or feel a thing. |
|
| Challenge: Siemens
Enterprise Networks needed to move
their customer web interface and reporting mechanism from
a Windows NT server that utilized Microsoft Active Server Page
(ASP) technologies to a UNIX server that ran a J2EE JSP and
servlet engine. Already existing data needed to be moved from
Microsoft Access to Oracle, and their web application needed
to be rewritten in JSP and Java. |
Solution:
Thomas Pittman did all of this effectively,
with no technical problems, and in record time. See Thomas Pittman's

| Challenge: A
company needed a search
engine on their website without paying a monthly fee to
a another company who would host such a solution for them. First,
the company who needed the search didn't want their web data
living on some other company's server. Second, who knew if the
company offering the service would be around in 6 months? |
| Solution:
Thomas Pittman implemented a self-updating,
free, open-source solution with a look and feel that was is
completely seemless within the rest of the website. There are
no monthly fees, and it's easy for the company to include or
exclude pages to be indexed within the engine. |
|
| Challenge: A
division of a company that had a portal on a larger part of
a corporate website only wanted select partners to be able to
access the portal. They needed an easy way to securely control
access to their portal and an easy way for the non-technical
marketing people on their staff to administer the passwords
and security. |
| Solution:
Thomas Pittman quickly and inexpensively
implemented a web-based administration tool that allowed non-technical
people to administer their passwords. Even better, the tool
allowed administrators to import their lists of usernames and
passwords from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and to automatically
email the users when they received access. |
|
| Challenge: A
company had content intended for partners that was password
protected and did not want the content appearing on "robot-based"
spider search
engines such as Google. |
| Solution:
Thomas Pittman quickly protected the
pages from being indexed by such search engines and provided
a tool so that the company could do this themselves if they
ever needed to in the future. |
|
| Challenge: A
company wanted to quickly obtain answers to specific questions
from users on their website and wanted quick feedback from visitors
about the content of whitepapers that appear in their website. |
| Solution:
Thomas Pittman implemented polls
on several pages that could be administered by non-technical
members of the marketing team and a content
rating system where visitors to the site could rate their
company whitepapers. |
|
| Challenges: A company wanted
web feedback forms to take information that was entered by
users and email it to members of their marketing team who
needed the information delivered to them in real-time as it
came in.
That same company had needs in other departments
for similar types of forms and still wanted the email functionality,
but also wanted the data stored in a database where they could
use detail and aggregate reports to access the data and export
the data for use in marketing campaigns.
|
Solution:
Thomas Pittman quickly and effectively
implemented several of these solutions on multiple server
platforms (including Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Windows NT
and 2000) for this large company. Their use has been successful—today,
as the need arises, this company still employs Thomas Pittman
to create new forms and reports.
