Web Application Development
When was the last time you heard someone rave about the interactivity and usefulness of a program that wasn't on the web? Our guess is, you can't recall! As the web has evolved, so have uses for web technologies such as AJAX, rich internet applications, and data access.
Web applications empower businesses by giving them real-time access to information, formly only available in daily/weekly/monthly reports, as well as giving them valuable interactivity with their customers and potential customers. Never before has been so easy to take locally run business and give it a national or international audience.

protocol 80 offers a robust suite of web application services to enhance the user experience and ensure the long-term success of your Web initiatives. Our policy is to always provide our clients with the BEST solution for their specific needs and current infrastructure, even if that means using off-the-shelf software, rather than developing a solution or using one of our own applications:
- We can integrate the p80 Suite consisting of e80, an enterprise e-commerce system, c80, an enterprise content management system, and our Search Engine Optimization services for enterprise Web systems.
- We recommend and integrate third party applications from industry-leading software and services partners, such as:
- Microsoft
- SharePoint Services & SharePoint portal Server
- ISA Server (Internet Security and Acceleration Server)
- Biztalk Server
- SQL Server 7, 2000 & 2005
- Small Business Server
- IIS
- Oracle
- Red Hat
- Etc...
- We design and develop custom Web applications using industry-standard technologies and proven methodologies such as:
- Rich Internet Application (RIA) design using:
- AJAX
- Adobe Flex
- Adobe/Macromedia Flash
- .Net Technologies such as:
- ASP.Net 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

Our process:
1. protocol 80's techniques for implementing web applications, starts with an in-depth needs analysis to verify the specific requirements and goals for the web application. Without a solid understanding of the purpose for the application, the project's outcome is likely to be over-budget and below expectations.
2. Upon gathering all requirements and goals, protocol 80 will create a proposal for executing the project that includes:
-
Details of the proposed developed or purchased solutions
-
A timeframe for completion of the project
-
Deliverables needed from your organization to get started
-
Cost per components and for consulting time, along with an overall estimated cost for the project, and payment terms
-
Any funding opportunities available to subsidise your investment
3. Review of the proposal and any questions, followed by execution of a Web Development Agreement, bound to the approved proposal for your project.
4. Development begins, and multiple prototypes are sent for preliminary approval, to ensure that the project scope is still correct and that the application is functioning to specification.
5. Final review of the entire application and testing in a simulated, real-life use scenario by your organization.
6. Any training/education needed is provided.
7. The web application is launched, with follow-on support from protocol 80.
8. After the launch, periodic feedback is gathered to:
- determine any application changes needed to fit organizational changes
- assess the competition and any strategic steps that should be taken with the application to maintain or achieve a competitive advantage
- assess user feedback for customer satisfaction improvements
- determine if there are any other steps in the business process that can be integrated into the application to save the company time and money
