One Killer App

WebPad is a wonderfully intuitive Web development environment with a killer new wrinkle--it runs in your browser and uses the Internet as its file system. Our new Web operating system (codename Portals) provides an elegant shell for this very powerful yet easy-to-use dynamo. Collaboration is also covered by Webpad/Portals with automated form handling and notification messages. Your average Internet user can build complex interactive sites (including e-commerce) without writing a single line of code (CGI is completely abstracted by the WebPad, as is credit card processing, shopping cart, etc.) Sound interesting? Read on as there is much more to this story...

Expanding your services

In an effort to help your company expand its client base and improve business development, I2S has developed WebPad.  Your company can offer its clients an enterprise-strength web development tool that appears in their web browser and is easy to use.  WebPad can provide any computer user with the ability to create data-driven web applications or simply maintain an existing web site.

Differentiating you from the Competition

To enhance existing services, your company can offer a cost effective way for each of their clients to handle their own online data issues.  Whether the client’s mission is to sell products, provide it’s salespeople with a centralized order area, or offer its customers online scheduling, WebPad provides an easy-to-use tool for even the novice computer user.

WebPad solves a big problem for virtually any IPPs customer. For business leaders and their programmers, developing web-based business applications is a never-ending headache. Even simple online stores can become difficult to maintain, but if they can quickly add or change prices, or modify products and their images without having to call a web developer, they have a tremendous advantage over many of their competitors.

Industrial Information Systems empowers your company with services that dramatically reduce the amount of time and code that goes into deploying production focused websites. The learning curve associated with learning how to use new software is also reduced because of WebPad's familiar windows appearance and accessibility. Using WebPad, online data can be viewed, edited, filtered, and searched with the most authentic windows look and feel through any standard web browser.

Targeting New Customers

The IPP industry has become increasingly competitive.  Targeting new customers, selling into new market segments, and attracting competitively held customers are all key strategies for continued growth.  Attract new customers by helping them avoid the high costs of outsourcing data-driven web development. By supplying a tool that hosts and organizes enterprise-strength web editing objects, you can reduce their time to market, help them meet deadlines, and drastically reduce the number of programmers needed to get their businesses on-line.

Delivering the Results that Define Success

There are three tiers of functionality in WebPad.

The first tier is the powerful and user friendly WebPad, which hosts and organizes websites using familiar looking windows toolbars and buttons. The solid and intuitive user interface appears in the user’s web browser and requires no additional software installation.  The WebPad let’s users insert and format text, images, tables, buttons, list boxes, shopping cart components, and a wide variety of additional elements used to create robust and professionally formatted websites.  Experienced web developers will find that the customization of pages created with the WebPad is virtually limitless as it easily accommodates the overlapping of any of the elements the developer chooses.

The second tier of functionality is the most powerful function of the WebPad.  It’s ability to embed views of any company’s data in a way that can it can be navigated, edited, filtered, and searched with an authentic windows look and feel is unmatched by any other online software. Even novice computer users can use the WebPad to develop web applications that perform as though they were created by a team of professional programmers. WebPad’s automated data display and formatting features enable users to:

v        Create complex transaction applications for the Web in days - instead of weeks or months - using existing staff

v        Respond quickly and easily with application changes as markets and user requirements evolve

v        Avoid the high costs of outsourced e-business application development

v        Leverage investments in legacy systems by rapidly and securely linking them to Web-based applications

The third tier of functionality is the Synchronization Manager. All business transactions that occur on-line can be synchronized with in-house data and vice versa. For instance, as purchase orders are taken and shipments are filled in-house, the adjusted available stock is automatically reflected on the company’s website. In addition, those who are in-house can see real-time transactions that occur online without having to monitor the website or a separate data source. The Synchronization Manager seamlessly integrates in-house operation with the Web without creating additional responsibilities for clerical personnel.
