BoyMeetsGirl Music

Warm, fresh site helps band distribute its music and stay in touch with fans.

[ www.boymeetsgirlmusic.com ]

BoyMeetsGirl Music is comprised of two accomplished singer-songwriters who have had their own top-forty hits as the band Boy Meets Girl and have also written hugely successful songs for artists such as Whitney Houston.

Looking for alternative ways to distribute their music, they launched the site to coincide with the release of the new BoyMeetsGirl CD, The Wonderground. The site contains an online journal (or blog) that they are using to publish their musings on a variety of topics.

"We have had great fun making this site come to life. AltaStrada consistently impressed us with their ideas, persistence and professionalism. We're very pleased with the way the site captures the spirit of BoyMeetsGirl Music. It gives us an exciting to new way to reconnect with our fans around the world."

Documentum

PartnerNet and internal Marketing Intranet portals dramatically reduce the time it takes to disseminate vital information to partners and employees.

[ These sites are for Documentum partners and employees only. ]

Documentum, a leading provider of enterprise content management solutions, is in the midst of an ambitious effort to enhance the ways it communicates with employees, customers, and partners.

The AltaStrada Group redesigned and prototyped the PartnerNet portal and its employee-facing counterpart, the Marketing Intranet. These revamped portals have cut from weeks to minutes the average time it takes Documentum to disseminate its information. Use of both sites has grown dramatically and Documentum is charting significant increases in key areas of employee productivity.

"Having worked with the AltaStrada team in the past, I felt they were the obvious choice to help us build our first personalized site for Documentum partners."

Documentum

Innovative Studio D application strengthens relationships with customers and gives the company’s marketing team new tools to leverage references.

[ The main features of Studio D are for Documentum customers only, but a guest view is available at studiod.documentum.com. ]

Our team designed and prototyped Studio D; we also built key pieces of the application. Its aim is to create a customer community whose focus is the sharing of successes with Documentum technology. Documentum uses Studio D to recognize client participation in a wide range of reference activities, to identify clients most appropriate for certain activities and to foster communication among its user community.

"AltaStrada Group's functional prototype allowed us to get an accurate picture of our site before it was built — a process that not only clarified our direction and saved time in our tight deadline, but also saved precious budget dollars."

Inktomi

Enterprise Search Download Center increases customer satisfaction and improves the quality of leads.

[ The Download Center was migrated to Verity when it bought Inktomi’s Enterprise Search products late last year. The new version is available at downloadcenter.verity.com ]

Inktomi, a pioneer in the field of Web search, sought to improve the ways in which potential customers downloaded evaluation versions of its Enterprise Search products.

The company recruited the AltaStrada Group to streamline the user experience and to find ways to make the download process yield greater volumes of higher quality leads for marketing and sales purposes. The new Download Center dramatically increased the valid registrations passed to marketing database and sales force automation tools in its first three months.

"The AltaStrada Group knows the software industry inside and out — they're great at helping you find best practices. They are very professional. They keep projects on track. And they constantly wow me."
