Our commitment does not end at the launch of an enterprise system. Instead, our services include important - but often overlooked - needs such as migration, solution documentation, user training, and ongoing support and maintenance.
We follow proven project methodologies and software development processes to ensure cost-efficiency, quality, and overall success.
Because we focus on a small set of specialised enterprise systems, we are able to reuse processes, problem domain learning, and technology skills from one project to another.
Our enterprise systems solutions are as follows.
portals and web applications
e-commerce
web content management
knowledge management
business intelligence
integrated enterprise systems
portals and web applications - We can provide your customers, employees, and partners with Web-based, self-service platforms that offer access to useful tools and information.
Typically, we consolidate interfaces of various internal and external systems within a single Web-based framework, including single sign-on and unified security, usage reporting, and personalisation.
Additional functionality typically includes content and/or document management, as well as new n-tier point functionality such as workflow or analytics.
We have built portals and Web applications using a wide range of technology platforms that include BroadVision One-To-One, Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server, Zope, Tridion DialogServer, IBM WebSphere, Lotus Domino, and BEA WebLogic.
e-commerce - Our technology solutions directly provide increased revenues, profitability, and performance.
We have considerable experience building highly-secure solutions for business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), and business-to-employee (B2E) messaging and transaction automation.
Most of our e-commerce solutions entail packaged software deployment, middleware-based systems integration, and construction of intuitive, Web-based interfaces for end-user and administrative functionality.
We have delivered e-commerce systems using technology platforms that include Microsoft Site Server, Microsoft Commerce Server, Microsoft BizTalk Server, IBM WebSphere, IBM MQSeries, Vitria BusinessWare, BEA WebLogic, Open Market Transact, and SAP mySAP.
web content management - Advances in e-publishing and dynamic user interface assembly have opened the door to tremendous improvements in end-user experiences, functionality, and ease-of-management.
We have a solid experience in delivering Web site infrastructure systems that include support for personalisation, mass customisation, content control/versioning/archiving, editorial workflows, digital asset management, streamlined site administration, site translation automation, localisation, and usage analytics.
Our Web content management experience includes integration and customisation of Interwoven TeamSite, Microsoft Content Management Server, OpenCMS, and Tridion DialogServer.
knowledge management - Companies can greatly improve operational efficiencies by better leveraging their vast amounts of internal knowledge.
At b-i, we can help improve communication and collaboration.
We achieve this through functionality that includes document control workflows, enterprise-wide searching, file versioning, information management regulatory regime compliance, threaded discussion boards, shared whiteboarding and remote conferencing.
Our knowledge management platform repertoire includes work with Microsoft SharePoint Team Services, Lotus SameTime, Lotus Domino.Doc, eRoom, and Documentum 4i.
business intelligence - Few technology solutions can offer as promising a return-on-investment scenario as a well-thought business intelligence system.
b-i has developed business intelligence systems for some of the world's largest companies, with deliverables that include departmental datamarts, data warehouses, executive information systems, clickstream analysis, and 'dashboard'-style real-time metrics reporting tools.
For these types of solutions, we routinely leverage robust platforms from vendors that include Oracle, SAS, IBM, Microsoft, and Informatica.
integrated enterprise systems - Given the fragmentation of the enterprise software market, most medium- to large-sized companies must operate literally dozens of business applications, databases, and middleware products.
Although no consulting firm can offer expertise across all or even most of the thousands of products in the enterprise IT space, b-i offers expertise in planning, deploying, configuring, and integrating systems running on the MS Windows, IBM AS/400 (iSeries), Unix, Novell, and Linux platforms.
We have worked extensively with business applications and integration products from vendors that include Oracle, SAP, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, Vitria, and WebMethods.
