Clearpath Innovations Offers New Ideas in Maine Web Design, Sharepoint Services
Online, November 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Clearpath Innovations, Inc. now offers Maine web design, Microsoft Sharepoint services and Sharepoint consulting through its website http://www.cpimobile.com. Clearpath is a software development leader with government and commercial clients throughout Maine and neighboring New England states. For many businesses in Maine web design has been an afterthought and effective Internet marketing a distant dream. Clearpoint is changing all that, making user-friendly design, outstanding service and professional marketing support available to businesses throughout Maine and New England.
Maine web design has lagged behind other parts of the country, but with Clearpoint Innovations, New England businesses can leap to the forefront of Web 2.0 and Rich Internet Applications. Clearpoint's Maine web design team deploys the latest in Internet technology, running on either Microsoft ASP.Net web servers with Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server databases, or on LAMP open source platforms. (LAMP is an acronym for the Linux operating system, the Apache web server, the MySQL database server and the PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor scripting language.)
Web 2.0 takes Web pages beyond static HTML (HyperText Markup Language) into dynamic, interactive applications that encourage customers to shop, contact the company and interact with each other, right from the browser. Clearpath Innovations' vision of Web 2.0 encompasses social media such as Facebook and blogging technologies like WordPress that bring customer relations online. jQuery (a Javascript database interface), AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML, or eXtended Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and other new technologies support the design of Web applications that empower customers and accelerate the customer relationship process, producing sales, service calls and other revenue streams.
Clearpath Innovations combines business savvy, advanced technical skills and graphic design talents to produce exciting web images and user experiences. From consulting on the objectives of a new or renovated web site, to identifying the target audience, to implementation, the Clearpath is with the client every step of the way. Defining goals and using analytics such as page views and unique visitors to measure achievements is also part of the process.
No web site can be effective today unless it shows up on search engines like Google or Yahoo! / Bing. That's why SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is an integral part of the web development process at Clearpath Innovations. Proper use of keywords, metadata and link exchanges can raise a site's search engine ranking. Clearpath will also consult on the costs and benefits of search advertising strategies like Google Adwords.
With Web 2.0, Clearpath Innovations can enhance the way a business or government organization interacts with its customers. To improve and streamline internal operations, Clearpath also provides Microsoft Sharepoint consulting and Sharepoint services. The Microsoft Sharepoint Server has become a robust platform for all types of content management. Clearpath Innovations' Sharepoint services empower organizations to use the Internet to organize project information and workflows, calendars and other documents, saving time and money. Sharepoint consulting can help business or government clients automate processes such as approval tracking, notification of due dates and deadlines, and requests for comments or other stakeholder inputs. Clearpath's Sharepoint services focuses on smoothing and streamlining workflows, making it easier to complete projects on time and on budget. Clearpath Innovations' disciplined Sharepoint consulting can make it easier for internal project teams to communicate among themselves and with outside parties such as advisors, regulators and clients. Sharepoint provides customizable levels of security that can be optimized for specific clients and applications.
In both Rich Internet applications and Sharepoint consulting engagements, Clearpath Innovations follows the RUP (Rational Unified Process) model. This rigorous methodology ensures that stakeholders buy in to the overall project design before a line of code is written. As soon as possible, Clearpath developers build and test sample code in order to mitigate the technical risks that inevitably accompany the journey from concept to completed project. They also create "use cases" that describe both the key users of the prospective application and the actions they will take within the application environment. When it comes time to write code, the use cases provide a script or framework for the actual code itself and the organizational framework of classes. The RUP is based on an iterative, build-test-fix-repeat approach, but it allow Clearpath Innovations programmers to maintain a pre-defined schedule throughout the development process.
Clearpath Innovations' clients include MaineDOT, the Finance Authority of Maine, the Czech Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oakhurst Dairy and Westfalia USA. Clearpath Innovations is a veteran-owned business, founded by former Procter & Gamble technical manager Randy Link. John Dailey is Clearpath's Director of Software Engineering.
