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
The 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

Healthy Beings
Healthy 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

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.
Red 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.

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.
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
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.
