Over the years, we have encountered hundreds of projects, both large and small, and we have treated each client with dedication in order to reach the proper result. Over time, the demands of the customers who contacted us increased and we received requests to develop more and more complex websites. Until finally the inevitable moment came and we started developing information systems on an internet infrastructure.
Building a website – More than an image
Among the systems we have developed are systems for student associations, information systems for displaying visual graphs and online file management systems. What they all have in common – All of which were built on top of an internet infrastructure and more precisely a LAMP* infrastructure. What characterized all of these systems, all of which we implemented on our content management system DigitalCMS in its various versions.
And so, over the years, we found ourselves forced to find more and more complex solutions for our clients until we moved from the focus of a website building company to the focus of a Development of information systems.
Development of an information system on Internet infrastructure
It is important to note that developing an information system on an Internet infrastructure is similar in nature to building a website. In both cases thinking about the user interfaces and graphics is required and in both cases programming knowledge is required in order to build the functionality of the system.
So after understanding that from a technological point of view developing an information system can be the same as building a website, we will delve a little deeper into the projects we have developed in order to provide examples of web-based information systems.
The project: Development of a library system, development of a system for managing summaries and tests
client: Ag
and the student religion of Ben Gurion University
This project, which on the face of it was supposed to be simple and easy to develop, turned out to be a complete Internet information system that allows students at Ben Gurion University to manage their summaries and tests, as well as the entire system of borrowing books in the student union library.
The project manager at the time, Shay Petrenko, got involved in the task and through several initial characterization meetings and many synchronized phone calls, we built the system to tailor the customer's needs.
You can see in the pictures that the systems were tailored to the customer's needs with a design and user interface adapted to the student union.
The project: Development of an interactive graph system
client: The Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya
We will continue with another system that we developed for an equally important client: the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya.
In this project, we were required to provide a visual display of graphs for the data that was transferred by the client into a dedicated information management system.
The project was carried out with CSV file import technologies to load the data into an internet database which will present all the statistics in orderly graphs to the website surfers.
The project: User and file management system
client: TestInsight
Our most challenging project to date came from the chip testing company TestInsight, which provides chip testing software for chip suppliers all over the world.
The project included a system for uploading users' files for testing, a system for downloading versions of the testing feature, and of course a secure system with a username and password to protect the users' files.
The project used JS technologies to build the virtual file array, with a combination of PHP to communicate with the server and a MongoDB database to centralize all user information.
What did we learn from the process?
Over the years we have learned that a client's needs change and develop even during the project and sometimes a site that looks small on the surface contains behind it an extensive information system that includes a variety of pizzas'Rim and modules in order to present the surfer with the most relevant information in the highest quality system.
We at Digital ST perform characterization reviews on a weekly basis with our clients in order to be as accurate as possible in the pricing and development of the client's project.
If you have a complex project, do not hesitate to contact us for an initial characterization call in order to get orders of magnitude of the project's costs or the schedule required to deliver it.
