DataWeb Selected by Sonoma County Ad Agency


DataWeb has been selected by a Sonoma County advertising company to build a new web based application using the Microsoft TAG technology. DataWeb welcomes the opportunity to assist in the design and development of a business application that will allow consumers to quickly download information on particular wines to their cell phones.

Microsoft TAGS are small colorful codes that can be printed or displayed, either on the wine bottle or a retail display. When a consumer “snaps” the TAB with the camera on their internet-enabled phone, this additional information or experiences will automatically be opened up on their phone. There is no fumbling around with URLs or texting messages. DataWeb has all sorts of plans to expand this business into the print world or even onto magazine articles or exhibit signage. If you have an idea for TAGS; we encourage you to give us a call and see how we might work together to put your idea into the marketplace on the DataWeb Platform.

360 evaluation

The process is rather simple but yields actionable results. Department managers select a number of individuals to become Evaluators. These Evaluators are then assigned a number of employees to answer specific performance related questions. The idea behind this process is to identify potential problem areas that can be helpful in designing training programs. This 360 evaluation can be important step towards a continuous improvement  program for any organization.

Television Series

This television series had a static website that could not handle the pace of rapidly changing content. Using DataWeb, the production company launched a flexibly structured, content-driven Web site that would have taken months in a matter of weeks.  Writers and editors now upload and edit content quickly, control the video clips displayed, and select the products to sell within a unified user interface.  “I came from an editorial background with only a vague understanding of the technical aspects of running a Web site. Still, I was able to easily transition our static site, including all the multimedia, onto DataWeb's data-driven and content management platform,” said a Managing Editor.

DataWeb Success Story: Equipment Manufacturer

This specialty equipment manufacturer had been managing their sales process via the fax machine and complex Excel spreadsheets. Tracking versions of proposals against different versions of spreadsheets became very difficult. Three years ago they employed the DataWeb platform to automate the entire process; from initial sales contact, through several iterations of proposal, to the placement of the final order. According to the firm’s CFO, ““The sales process has become much more disciplined. Reporting has become much easier and we all spend a lot less time preparing reports and much more time engaged with customers.”

DataWeb -- New Web Applications Emerging Daily

The Software-a-a-Service movement continues to gain momentum, as more and more organizations build web based services to meet specific business or operational needs. In the past day alone new customers have signed-up at DataWeb and built applications to manage youth baseball activities in the Midwest; Fire Department resources in California and a new generation of retail activities for presenting important product information to consumers using a variety of mobile devices.

Each of the sites above will likely be used by many thousands of users; from little league baseball coaches to fireman in every city and town in the State of California; to retail shoppers across the globe. Each site will engage its audience in new ways, delivering value to the broader community. These sites show that the web is not only the playground of large companies or highly trained workforces. The door is open to innovation, allowing those with creativity and understanding in a particular area to engage successfully and profitably.

Just as the reference to Web 2.0 became the benchmark for encouraging the “democratization” of the Internet because anyone could make contributions to online content portals; a new generation of web development tools makes possible two additional breakthroughs. First; new tools are available that allow people of moderate business skills to build web sites of significant capability and, secondly, whole new business models are being designed that take advantage of these new tools and new possibilities.

DataWeb Success Story: Tacoma Sports

The “click and play” nature of DataWeb’s technology allows people to craft web based software applications that are built to their specific requirements and unique “from the ground up”. One such application is www.tacomasports.com The metropolitan community looked to the site for scheduling information for local sports teams and events. DataWeb offered an opportunity to extend the reach of the website, allowing local citizens to reserve venues for specific community events and to receive and answer questions from local youth sports teams and associations.

A big advantage to DataWeb, according to Jon Graef who engineered and built www.tacomasports.com, is that DataWeb is easy to access and does not require a high degree of experience to build sophisticated, interactive websites. Jon found the Support Team at DataWeb very helpful whenever he ran into a question. Everything he needed was accessed directly thru a standard web browser, he did not have to use technical resources to get his award winning application built and delivered.

Different organizations throughout the County are authorized to upload information unique to their organization. The Parks Department, for example, can post the schedule for upcoming swim meets and easily maintain tournament schedules online. Also, designated community based administrators to post scores on games as they are completed. This helps to build community, while keeping the content current and interesting.
