If a picture is worth a thousand words, being able to interact with a picture must be priceless. That's why, in addition to providing links to some of our completed public projects, we also wanted to share with you some of the projects we've worked on that are not publicly available. Here you can walk through some slide shows and interact with a few working applications we've completed.

TLC
TESS Learning CenterThe TESS Learning Center was an online training program for a new customer support software application. The application was a replacement for a non-Y2K compliant program and so the timing of this training program was crucial. The training program was built using Allaire ColdFusion, HTML, and JavaScript and used an Access 97 database backend. The application was used for approximately 4 weeks and successfully trained 500 customer support employees. This slideshow is best viewed with a screen resolution of 800x600 or higher.

Healthy Beings
Healthy BeingsHealthy Beings was a membership-based web application where people with health issues can come to get professional support, plan meals, get exercise information and instructions, search nutrition information, and join support groups. The application was built using ColdFusion and Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. This slideshow is best viewed with a screen resolution of 800x600 or higher.

Snapple Sampling Tour
The Snapple sampling project is based on a promotional strategy that many consumer packaged goods companies employ to increase exposure to new products. July 9th, 1999 marked the day when this tour went on the road.

Snapple Sampling TourRed Horizon developed a web-based data entry and management reporting solution for Snapple to use on this and subsequent sampling tours. The tour crew used a laptop to enter daily information regarding where they were, what events they attended, what the weather was like, and, most importantly, how many samples and premiums they distributed. When the data was entered into a special entry form online, it became immediately available to the management team back at headquarters to review and analyze.

The data was stored in an Access database and the middleware was written in Allaire ColdFusion. The database and ColdFusion templates are stored on a web server which supports ColdFusion, and the frameset and images are stored on the marketing company's web server. This means that the location of the data files is transparent to the Snapple team. The application is best viewed with a screen resolution of 800x600 or higher.

CARCheck
The "CARCheck" project was a year long project which was built in two phases of functionality. This intranet application helps the client track their ISO-9000 non-compliance Corrective Action Requests (CARs). The tracking process starts during an audit and ends when the project manager of the audited project has corrected the problem.

CAR Check We started with a series of intensive group interviews with the users. The meetings were attended by a representative example of the users from all of the different areas. This way we could help them resolve current issues at the time of the meeting. This resulted in a more definitive user requirements document which most of the users had bought into before it was even published. There were very few negative comments about the requirements document, and most of the users had a positive impression of the future system. The application is best viewed with a screen resolution of 800x600 or higher.
The CARCheck demo is currently down for maintenance. Please check back soon.

Kids At Work Kids At Work
The Kids At Work application was developed as a fun activity for Bring Your Child to Work Day. The application enabled children to use a simple web interface to create a web page to share with their friends and family. The kids could add sound, animations, or even a picture of themselves! The application was a huge success, and was enhanced for the following year's festivities. No real names or photos are used in this demo.
