Challenge:
The marketing department at Adobe had been using a FileMaker-based solution for some time that tracked all their marketing activities, from trade shows and in-store events, to advertising and more. Their rapid world-wide growth forced them to move to a browser-based solution that could be accessed from anywhere. In addition, they wanted us to integrate a “roadmap”: a matrix that displayed all marketing activities one quarter at a time, filtered by product type.
Solution:
Excelisys built new data tables using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and several h
tml pages based on ASP(Active Server Pages) to recreate the functionality of the original FileMaker Pro system in a browser environment.
Result:
The roadmap turned out to work even better than they had imagined, as we included several “added-value” functions such as the ability to click on an activity in the roadmap’s grid and be taken to detailed information about that activity.
