Business view: NZNDTA wanted an editable website to help co-ordinate information, activities and the interests of its members, including a secure members-only area. For efficiency and good design direction, they also needed to create content for the site in a timely fashion.

Deployment of Adobe Contribute as the site editor, along with a custom-built .NET navigation editor to allow changes in site structure or the addition of new pages to be easily reflected in site menus.

Business view: Victoria Accommodation Services help students arrange accommodation in Halls of Residence. They needed a facility to manage the process of vetting students with references from students’ high schools, which had to be printable after being submitted in an online form. This private facility also had to manage secure logins for each school.
Technical view: Creation of a secured form and deployment of our .NET-based database administration tool to manage login details for each school. Use of a custom-built .NET-based tag to submit any plain HTML form to a database, with the addition of javascript to recreate the completed form for read-only printing.
