The C.N. Brown Company

 
Goal:
C.N. Brown approached Standard I-O with several needs. Their website needed a facelift, they needed to be able to offer their customers a way to order oil products online, they wanted to showcase their "Big Apple Stores" chain, and they wanted the site to highlight and enhance the C.N. Brown image.

Solution: The Standard I-O designers worked with C.N. Brown to come up with a look-and-feel that was consistent with C.N. Brown's "warm" image. The C.N. Brown website supports dynamic updates for things like oil prices, Big Apple specials, new locations, locations for lease, and much more. The site also allows customers to order oil products right online for home delivery. The site is actually three sites in one: C.N. Brown Corporate, C.N. Brown heating oil, and the Big Apple Food Stores chain.

Parco Merged Media, Inc.

 
Goal: Parco Merged Media asked us to develop a corporate identity and website that has the ability to update site content on a regular basis to address potential clients, partners, and investors. We were also asked to create a media presentation which could be distributed via a disk or be viewed from the website.

Solution: We worked with the Parco marketing team to design the company logo and web site with a custom admin for daily site updates. We designed an exciting Flash presentation to introduce the company to interested parties. We were further retained, based in part on our performance with this project, to design and build the entire software portion of their geo-positioning product which is now being considered as a key component of the government mandated ER-1 system for hospital emergency rooms in the Washington D.C. hospital center and eventually across the country.

MESDA

 
Goal: MESDA (Maine’s software and information technology industry association) came to Standard I-O with a clear goal. They wanted a site that represented them as a technology-savvy association while providing a portal that regional companies could use as a valuable resource for things like recruiting/job hunting, press releases, community discussion, and all types of technology information as it relates to Northern New England.

Solution: We worked with the Executive Director of MESDA, Joseph Kumiszcza, to create things like a Job Board, a calendar of events, a discussion area, a Special Interest Group Portal (SIG), and a multitude of other useful tools that the community could use to advance the understanding and use of technology in Northern New England.

The Swedenborgian Church of Portland

 
Goal: The Swedenborgian Church of Portland (SCP) had a simple need. They needed a website presence to make things like events and newsletters available to their congregation, and they didn't have much money.

Solution: Standard I-O combined components that we had already created and put together a simple yet effective site that would allow SCP to manage and publish information. We did this on a pro-bono basis as a community service.

Network Managment Services


 
Goal: Network Management Services (NMS) wanted a basic brochure website that would simply give customers and potential customers a way to find out more about their company and contact them if desired. They needed it quick, it had to be inexpensive, and it had to look good.

Solution: Standard I-O put together a site that met the requirements and was live in three days. It was done quickly and inexpensively, and NMS was very pleased with the look.

HealthFitnesTips.com

 
Goal: The goals of HealthFitnessTips.com were many. The management at HFT wanted a portal where people interested in health, fitness, and bodybuilding could go to find information on those subjects, including products, articles, pictures, news, advertising, and anything else related to health and fitness. It was very important that the site be dynamic and changing on a daily basis.

Solution: Standard I-O actually built two sites. One is the site that the general public sees; the other is a password protected administrative site. All of the content of the site is managed by HFT via this administrative area. Things like advertisements, articles, site usage, customer registration, and a long list of other functions are also managed here.

The Maine Communications Network

 
Goal: To create a portal site that would then lead visitors to other sites related to the different TV shows created by Maine Communications Network (MCN). MCN also needed these other sites developed as well.

Solution: Standard I-O created three separate sites for Maine Communications Network: MaineCommunicationsNetwork.com, TreasureHuntShow.com, and AppraisalShow.com.

Standardio.org E-zine

 
Goal: The goal for this site was to create a resource where we could share our expertise with other developers and developers-to-be.

Solution: We created a website where we could publish articles and the community could discuss and ask questions about the information and ideas presented in the articles. The site is an e-zine, where advertisers can promote goods and services related to software development, especially as it applies to our areas of expertise, primarily the Microsoft.NET framework.

Financial

For Pearl Investments we created a fully automated real-time trading system which operates in the corporate equity marketplace.  Based on their trading strategies, which we studied and replicated in the system software, they make handsome profits on a daily basis.


Insurance

For UnumProvident we have provided several confidential mission critical applications, both Windows-based and Intranet-based.

We have developed inspection management and billing applications for both the Tower Hill Insurance Group and Alexander & Schmidt.

For the Todd Benefits Group we created a dynamic online rating system which calculates and quotes premiums based on dozens of variables.  This system is used by the employees of TBG's corporate customers.


Healthcare

For Parco Merged Media we developed a wireless network, data storage, and geo-location system for use in healthcare facilities. We designed an integration toolkit which third-parties use to integrate with the system we developed, and we provide a certification service to insure that the third-party products designed for the Parco system are up to the Parco standard.  We also designed a Flash-enhanced website for them, as well as their logo.


Management Consulting

We wrote the Q-Online system Management Research Group which allows MRG questionnaires to be ordered, completed, scored, printed, and managed online.  The questionnaires are designed by MRG specialists to help managers gain insight into how they compare with other managers in similar positions around the world.  The system we built, based on MRG's expertise, is being used by organizations like Sprint and Harvard to help them gain a competitive edge.


Transportation

Our custom data transfer components power the LiveLoad product for ProfitTools, Inc. This software allows clients of trucking companies to get real-time pickup and delivery confirmations, ETAs, and freight locations.
