Project Collaboration and Social Networking Portal

Brief Description

A collaborative and networking portal is reengineered for an IT solution provider in USA. It has been furnished with a set of tools to easily capture, store and deliver important information to facilitate document sharing among project teams for collaborative project work in an online environment. This web portal allows users to copy and share all types of documents, in all formats such as WORD and EXCEL, including images.

This online portal is pillared on three key features: Networks, Collaboration and Email Marketing. It provides a web platform to members working on a project where they can not just share documents but also do networking with each other, and take peer-to-peer help for true collaborative project work. Members can also use this system to build contact lists by adding and even automatically importing contacts from Yahoo and Gmail; they can add colleagues from their online messenger contacts list and then add them to their projects. An additional functionality has been incorporated into the portal in the form of a Chat option for easy communication and better networking among users. In addition, Email Marketing service allows users to execute targeted email campaigns and newsletters to their networks.

This collaborative and networking portal is promoting effective teamwork, resource sharing, networking and cooperation among project members, thereby enhancing productivity and communication.

Customer Testimonials

“The Elegant MicroWeb redesign of our site has really helped our sales. Immediately after implementing the custom template they designed for our Volusion™ storefront we noticed an increase in our online sales. We cannot thank them enough for their prompt, professional and courteous service! Hands down, Elegant MicroWeb provides a great service at an unbeatable value.”

“ElegantJ Business Intelligence played a pivotal role helping my team tap into the huge amount of timekeeping data our firm had assiduously collected over several years, but which we had extracted very little value from. We realised that with ElegantJ BI we could gain an insight into our business performance and trends which we were then able to present to Management in a digestible form. As a direct result of our analysis using ElegantJ BI we were able to ensure that scarce resources were ring-fenced for critical operations whilst also freeing up resource from other areas to improve productivity and allocate costs more accurately across our operations. ElegantJ BI proved an excellent partner, listening to and taking our feedback on-board, then delivering changes and improvements to the product.”

“You can tell when a strategic supplier truly understands your business and your needs: he takes your brief, your product requirements and he makes that specification much better than you imagined. Elegant MicroWeb has done that for us since day one – five years ago! Without our strategic alliance with Elegant MicroWeb, I doubt if we would have become #1 supplier of eDemocracy and eConsultation solutions. If your need is for service, imagination, creativity and value, use Elegant!”

“The staff at Elegant MicroWeb was very professional from the beginning and the entire experience of working with the project manager and other staff members at Elegant MicroWeb was an absolute delight. The response time is phenomenal. The project went very smoothly and they truly exceeded my expectations. The follow up responsiveness is just as good and we still receive the same support we did on day one of the project. We will definitely continue this relationship with the folks at Elegant MicroWeb and look forward to executing more exciting IT projects with them.”
