Research
We can research numerous topics in high technology, compile the results and present
them to you in a concise report. Work we have done in this area includes:
- Created two separate reviews of e-store hosting sites that allow customers to create
an e-store and sell their products over the Internet. These services typically provide a
framework onto which the customer can add their own graphics, items, and descriptions.
Shopping carts, credit card processing, and order reporting are also standard features
for these sites. Provided a report that included an extensive analysis of features,
pricing, marketing position and partnerships.
- A survey of MAPI-enabled paging software that could be used to send pages via
Microsoft Outlook.
- Created a review of content management solutions designed specifically for web sites,
with a focus on globalization and localization capabilities. Included offerings from
Allaire, Broadvision, Continuus, Eprise and Vignette. Provided detailed report to client
that covered product functionality, summary of the underlying technologies, market share,
major installations, pricing, partnerships and alliances.
- Performed a survey of web site globalization and localization services and solutions.
This involved identifying companies that offer such services and solutions, obtaining
sales, marketing and technical data on the products and services, and speaking with
representatives to obtain additional details. Wrote a detailed report, analyzing the
available services and solutions and their relevance to the client's needs.
- Researched globalization and internationalization services provided by major national
and international consulting firms. Evaluated offerings relative to client interests
and provided an overview and conclusions in a written report.
