Trends on the Internet

Initially, companies thought of web sites mainly as marketing tools: they put their "business card" or "brochure" online, to make sure they had a "presence on the web."

When the sales department got involved,
e-commerce
sites arose. This meant a serious change in perspective: the Internet allows one to sell anything to anyone, anywhere in the world, at any time, in any chosen currency.

Nowadays, interactive web sites can be the communication centre of a company, and include online services for CRM (customer relations management), IRM (investor relations management), HRM (human relations management). Transactions with customers, suppliers, as well as stock management, can all be part of the web site.

The web site as the communications hub

At Lamiroy Consulting, our core business is Internet-based corporate communication solutions.

We can assist you in any Internet related project, and will guide you through the different steps, from analysis and planning, to setup, configuration, implementation, and maintenance.

The following are just some of the services that we offer in this respect:

  • Project management, including preliminary opportunity and feasibility analysis, as well as financial analysis;
  • identification of target audiences;
  • graphic design;
  • application programming;
  • copy writing, etc.

We have been active in this field since 1994, and have several success stories to tell.

From experience, we also now that many Internet projects (that we were not involved in), have failed miserably. The main reason for this being that these projects were not handled by professionals. Just off hand, we can give you at least ten reasons why you should let a professional do the job...

Advanced web sites often require
custom application development.

People often ask what technologies we are using to achieve this. The reply always is that technology should be chosen in function of the project. But we must admit that on occasions we complied with our customers' requests to work with the technologies that they happen to have available at the time. (But we only did so when a feasibility analysis confirmed that it still made sense to do so).

Because some people insist on knowing what technologies we have worked with, we'll mention the following: HTML, DHTML, XML (for data exchange), JavaScript, CSS, ASP (VBS, Jscript), ASP.NET, PHP, AJAX, ...
But as the world of web services is constantly changing, so does the list of available technologies.

Screenshot MySQL Interface
For online database applications,
MySQL often is the preferred solution.

When it comes to databases, we usually work with either Visual Foxpro, or MySQL, because 1) they are robust and reliable, and 2) they are flexible in their licensing requirements.
Upon customers' request we have also done ASP projects involving Microsoft SQL Server.

Other activities Lamiroy Consulting has been involved in, upon customers' demands:

  • Expert advice & assistance for (legal) IT projects
  • Development of software
  • Writing of software manuals
  • Computer / software training.
