Case Study No IT experience, No IT staff, but need a mission-critical extranet applications YESTERDAY The Company Clearview Strategic Partners is a Toronto-based company focused on compliance, corporate governance and employee engagement solutions for multinational corporations and government institutions. The Challenge Convert Clearview's manual business functions to a user-friendly, Web-based application with multiple language capabilities that would support custom reporting and ongoing dialogue while allowing employees to remain anonymous. Clearview had never implemented an extranet – or any other e-business application – of this magnitude. The functionality had to be user friendly enough to enable even inexperienced users to use the application extensively. With tight timelines and an even tighter budget, this would prove no easy task. The application also had to offer such key features as: • Two or more languages for the interface and Website content • Scalability to enable the addition of users, servers, processes, and transactions • Custom reporting of ongoing dialogue while allowing employees to remain anonymous ClearviewCaseStudyFINAL.doc www.Bonasource.com Page 1 of 3 The Partner Clearview teamed up with Bonasource – a partner who’d undertaken similar projects and succeeded. Bonasource's agile development approach and onshore-offshore business model– a model that minimized delivery costs – ensured that Clearview would meet both its deadline and its budget. The Solution Bonasource used an iterative approach to create a solution for Clearview. This approach – called agile development methodology – allowed users to see the system in action during the development phrase, and thereby provide feedback to the development team early on in the process. Bonasource's content management system, called PortalFS, formed the backbone of the extranet, thus allowing Clearview to maintain their content themselves, without relying on their IT department. The Result Clearview Connects™, a user-friendly, Web-based application, allows our clients to gather honest – and anonymous –feedback from their employees, customers, shareholders and suppliers. “We were extremely impressed by how quickly they digested the information we had talked about; how quick they were able to respond in terms of our needs and making us feel comfortable that they were the guys to help us out; and then be able to put a solution in front of us ‘Here’s one way we can attack it.’” Ron Paquette, Founder and Managing Partner, Clearview Strategic Partners ClearviewCaseStudyFINAL.doc www.Bonasource.com Page 2 of 3 About Bonasource Bonasource is a Canadian Web strategy company focused on usability of complex Web applications, analytics, and agile development methodology.
