Web site Strategy, Design and Development

This service is to assist you in developing a competitive e-business strategy, by identifying, developing and acting on opportunities available to your organization. We will work with you to accelerate the growth of your business with strategic, complementary initiatives to maximize the return on your web technology investment. The service includes examination of your organization’s brand positioning, go-to-market approach, and specific applications. Some of the outcomes include developing a strong e-commerce presence and selling capability; improving customer interaction and service delivery; optimizing supplier and business partner relationships and collaboration; leveraging data in existence to create a greater understanding of your customer base; and capitalizing on knowledge in existence in organization.

Specific functional activities that can be built consist of establishing access; hosting sites or applications; private publishing, including intranets; external publishing; e-commerce for transactions, procurement, and payment; collaboration for workgroups and extranets; and production access for business-to-business back-end integration.

E-Business Readiness and Planning

The e-business Readiness and Planning service is an engagement designed to understand the strategic and tactical requirements and goals for an Internet-driven initiative. Activities include evaluating and developing an e-business strategy, or an approach for building Internet applications; evaluating infrastructure requirements to support the strategy; and developing work plans with activities, tasks, resources and funding estimates to implement an initiative. The service is tailored to the needs of a company and is conducted on a time and materials basis, which can run from one week to four weeks, depending on the scope and complexity of a company's environment.

Secure Commerce and Transaction Systems

The Secure Commerce and Transaction Systems service is an engagement to understand the requirements and build a system for conducting business-to-business, business-to-consumer, web-based EDI, or other applications focusing on a transaction mechanism for payment. As every system is custom-tailored to the business goals and technical infrastructure of an organization, we will work with you to build the system using commercially available commerce engines or develop the application using web development tools.

Application Development

Application development services offer custom development of a business application for the Internet using web development tools and Internet security principles in the design. Using a standard life cycle approach, we gather functional requirements of the application, design a conceptual model, create a prototype of the application, refine the application with your end-user community, build and implement a production version, and assist you in maintaining the application during its life cycle.

CSI offers an outsourcing alternative for hosting an organization's web site or applications. Running on our network of powerful servers and connected to the Internet, we allow you to subscribe, rather than purchase and support, an Internet infrastructure for your e-business needs.
