Site Development Focus: Managing Audience Submitted ImagesSite Development Focus
Managing Audience Submitted Images
The Idea
A leading sports community web service was displaying a very large number of member-submitted images. To handle the large volume of images being uploaded, the site needed to organize and reformat these images more effectively.
The Solution
Online Solutions from florin.com deployed a server-side image editor combined with an image catalog database designed to handle the high volume of member submissions. By deploying the image editor on the server, it became possible to adjust image dimensions and file sizes at the same time as the images were being uploaded to the web server.
This process enables images to be scaled, cropped, and reformatted for any number of different display purposes, including thumbnails, feature presentation pages, and full sized enlargements. The server-side image editor is accessible by site managers and members alike, significantly reducing the amount of file transfers required and more effectively organizing the structure of disk storage on the server.
Development of an image catalog database is integrated with the server-side image editor to synchronize the submission process and to ensure that all images are attributed to the corresponding member profiles. The image catalog database is instrumental for image retrieval and the automatic generation of presentations published on the web site.
The Results
By integrating the image editing and cataloging processes, the community membership web site was able to enhance its display presentations while offering a more flexible presentation design. Member participation expanded as it became easier to adjust earlier submissions and to upload an unlimited number of new images.

This selection data is used to identify the markets and content categories which are most in demand and to define the corresponding audience demographics. Aggregate information from the data warehouse is made available to site sponsors to support advertising revenues and to evaluate marketing effectiveness.

Site Development Focus: Product Catalog Control PanelSite Development Focus
Product Catalog Control Panel
The Idea
Product managers for a high-technology distributor needed to respond quickly to rapidly changing prices and margins and a rapidly changing product mix.
The Solution
A product control panel was created to display up-to-the-minute product information including prices, margins, and inventory levels. This product management application was developed to handle continuous fluctuations in OEM product supplier prices and the frequent introductions of new products being added to the product catalog.
The product control panel is designed to enable product managers to view all of their products in a single window and to make adjustments to pricing and product availability for multiple items simultaneously, eliminating a limitation in their existing eCommerce software that required each product to be edited separately.
By integrating the product control panel directly with the online storefront, the inventory control applications, and a marketing database, all changes made by the product managers through the product control panel are now reflected in real-time throughout all related enterprise applications.
The Results
Being able to respond more effectively to market changes results in improved margins and reduced inventories. Product managers are able to use the control panel to review their product catalog in its entirety and to rapidly tune their marketing strategies to match continuing changes in the industry.

Site Development Focus: Accepting Multiple Payment MethodsSite Development Focus
Accepting Multiple Payment Methods
The Idea
An online retail store wanted to be able to accept other methods of payment in order to attract additional customers who were reluctant to use credit cards for their online purchases.
The Solution
We redesigned the customer check-out process used by the online store to offer customers a choice of different payment methods. The alternative payment methods included payments made by check or money order, electronic debit transfers being introduced in Europe, telephone orders, special offers, coupons, gift certificates, and store credit.
Each of these payment alternatives is supported by separate transactions processes that are integrated directly into the eCommerce software. These processes were developed to record payments, to release purchases for shipment, and to monitor the status of the transactions. Field sales representatives are also able to record cash payments directly through a sales administration interface for the online store, expanding its usefulness as a point-of-sale facility.

Integrated Enterprise Applications
The Idea
A major telecommunications company operated a large number of different network devices and software applications in its voice and data communications network. It needed a common platform to enable the different devices and software applications to communicate with each other.
The Solution
Working with a start-up venture, we adapted and enhanced a network management system into a fully functional enterprise application platform. The resulting enterprise application platform was specifically designed to interconnect all network devices and software applications supplied by any network equipment or software vendor.
In order to make it possible for normally incompatible technologies to communicate with each other, the enterprise application platform was developed on a corba-based operating system in conjunction with an object-oriented database and a UML interface. This enabled all network devices to communicate with the enterprise platform, and to connect them with all of the network management software applications being used.

Dedicated Sysadmin Servers
The Idea
In order to respond quickly to any unexpected service interruptions, a public internet service wanted to consolidate its network monitoring and administration.
The Solution
A dedicated server administration package was created to automate most systems monitoring and backup functions. Network monitoring and systems administration applications were consolidated onto dedicated administration servers that operated around the clock to automatically perform the essential functions.
The dedicated administration servers were configured to restore service in the event of a service interruption, by recreating production applications on replacement host servers and to reconfigure the replacement host servers on the network in a timely manner.
Sequential backup archives of server configuration sectors also enabled differential comparisons to determine the source of any unplanned changes to core services. Log analysis with date-sensitive archiving supported server access monitoring and tracing over extended periods of time.
The Results
By combining real-time network monitoring with quick restore capabilities, network security was enhanced, minimizing the risk of business loss due to service interruptions.

Site Development Focus: Migrating to a Server Colocation CenterSite Development Focus
Migrating to a Server Colocation Center
The Idea
While implementing a new eCommerce service, a large software distributor wanted to ensure that its public online servers operated around the clock, without expanding its existing data center.
The Solution
In order to accommodate the newly implemented eCommerce operations, the public online servers were migrated to a colocation service that provided around the clock data center facilities together with high-bandwidth telecommunications links to three major internet backbones. This eliminated the need to hire additional operations staff, expand the firm's existing data center facilities, or install additional telecommunications links.
Using a multi-tier network architecture, we connected the public online servers with enterprise applications operating in the in-house data center. Servers hosting internal enterprise applications for order processing, inventory control, and billing were secured from the public network through proxy servers acting as network firewalls. Data transfer protocols were developed to ensure continuous operation of ongoing eCommerce transactions being processed by the public online servers hosted in the colocation center.
We designed the multi-tier network architecture to operate separate servers for the public storefront, databases, and enterprise applications, communicating with each other through dedicated and secure telecommunications links. In order to manage the public eCommerce site, staff working within the firm's internal network were configured as a separate domain to ensure continuous access to their respective areas of operation.
The Results
Migrating the public eCommerce servers to a colocation hosting center reduced capital investment and ongoing operating expenses relating to data center facilities, operations staff, and telecommunications links, while ensuring continuous public access to the eCommerce storefront through high-bandwidth telecommunications connections.

Site Development Focus: Distributed Multinational Data CentersSite Development Focus
Distributed Multinational Data Centers
The Idea
A diversified multinational manufacturer had reached its enterprise systems processing capacity and needed to expand its data services operations to support projected increases in business activity.
The Solution
With data services supporting subsidiaries in more than a dozen countries, the company operated two primary data centers serving all of its business and manufacturing operations. We performed an evaluation of the company's existing data services operations and determined the projected resource requirements needed to meet its long-term business objectives.
Our projections enabled the company to assess the alternatives of maintaining its existing data services structure, or moving to establish separate distributed data centers operated by each business unit. A custom designed software application was developed based on forecasting algorithms to determine the projected resource requirements for each alternative. Since the company's business activities were highly diversified and in many different locations, the advantages of operating distributed data centers for its different business operations were shown to be consistent with its overall business objectives.
While the data services operations were distributed among all of the company's operating units, software development and network administration was maintained in the two original locations, in order to ensure consistent quality of service standards. The telecommunications infrastructure was expanded to support the distributed data network and to provide the flexibility for load balancing and switching between data centers if necessary.
The Results
By migrating its data services to distributed data centers, each of the business units was able to support its own operating requirements, while drawing upon the resources of the entire network when extra capacity was required. By balancing its network operations among all of the distributed data centers, the company was able to expand its data services incrementally as the business grew.
