OD Media provides that polish for workFile Vision

workFile Vision is an enterprise content management repository (ECM) that is used to take control of an organisations content, no matter what form that may take. OD Media has been asked to provide the interfaces and "custom skins" for the next release of workFile Vision v2.0 (available at the end of 2010). In addition, this latest version will have the capabilities to provide an online service to customers (SaaS implementation), making it far easier for organisations to utilise the workFile platform.

OD Media is looking forward to the challenge and working with the developers of workFile ECM. Though this isnt the first time OD Media has provided interfaces and designs for workFile ECM, it will be the first time that Silverlight 4 is used, along with the "OOB" (Out Of Browser) experience.

Rich Web Applications

With 2010 now underway, and the promise that the end of the recession is upon us, it's important to ensure you make a great first impression on potential customers - especially when it comes to your web presence.

In todays market place, if your web presence simply lacks that X factor, or is too hard to navigate, clumsy to use, you will soon find that potential customers are off of your site and gone for good. That's not great news, especially if you have spent a sum of cash on getting them there through a carefully planned marketing campaign...

So to ensure you "wow" your user base, we at OD Media are providing Rich Internet Application solutions for up to 50% off our standard fees - if you sign up to using our design / development services before the end of February 2010. This means that you can provide your potential customers with not just a website, but a website with real presence and with the capabilites to seamlessly use rich media and deliver a new and engaging experience for your users.

OD Media specialises in using Microsofts latest technology, Silverlight. With Silverlight you can bring your website to life, offering new ways of interaction, a better user experience, and above all - leave a lasting positive impression on your website visitors...

Template Solutions...Keeping your costs down

In these hard economic times, OD Media understand the importance of maintaining an up to date web presence for as little investment as possible. Because of this, OD Media is now delivering “template” solutions, providing feature rich websites in a professional fashion at a fraction of the cost.

By utilising the workFile eCommerce module, OD Media have developed an administration panel that lets organisation manage news articles, stock, web content, file downloads, endorsees and trading partners all from a single panel. Organisations then simply choose a template for the “look and feel” of their website and within days, they can enjoy a brand new, professional website at a fraction of the cost of having a site developed from scratch.

“Obviously template solutions can be a little limiting to organisations. However, the OD Media template delivers great functionality, flexibility and freedom to organisations. The administration panel allows organisations to take control of typical website features that often require a large investment to get working well. Pretty much all bases are covered with the admin panel for businesses, so it’s really a matter of choosing your template and OD Media applying some of your own graphic work to it to ensure corporate branding remains.” Andrew Smith – Managing Director explained.
