InfoPoint helps your business do the thing necessary to use the Web to make your business better. We do this by understanding your business and designing a system that works with your business to allow you to do more business at less cost.

According to the Harvard Business Review: "strategy is creating a fit among a company's activities (What is Strategy? - HBR Winter 1996)." The Internet can bring more money to your company by increasing your productivity and lowering your costs, but it can also help you do business in a different way that will give you a competitive advantage. If your company can do things in a different way, you have a strategic advantage. There are rarely times when such opportunities present themselves. But you are not going to find that unique combination of your expertise and the Internet by copying others. You need to really be different.

InfoPoint can help you figure out new ways of doing things by bringing our years of experience together with your years of experience.

InfoPoint has developed parts of Web sites that do things that can hook together in various combinations. These parts are sometimes called "libraries," "components," "modules" and other similar terms.
Examples of this can be a shopping cart, a module to calculate shipping for UPS, or a module to allow users to modify their profiles, or send them e-mail. A business that is selling software on-line might need to take credit cards, but it would not need to ship the software, so it would use the credit card and shopping cart modules, not the shipping.
We have considerable time invested in creating these things. When we create a Web site for someone by using the appropriate pieces, modify the modules to fit the circumstances, saving time and reducing errors, but making a custom solution.

In addition InfoPoint solutions are multiuser.
This means that many people can use the system.
For instance, if InfoPoint creates a contact manager, anyone in the organization can use it for no extra licensing fees. Most PC programs are not multiuser. If you create a database in Microsoft Access, it can't easily be shared. With ACT or other PC based contact managers, the system of updating the information is convoluted and each copy of ACT requires a separate license. Web based interfaces simply require a Web browser.

InfoPoint also has talented, experienced individuals in Internet technologies, including client side, like JavaScript, Flash and so on. We also has extensive server side expertise.

Building a Web site includes understanding the business purpose of the Web site, selecting the existing components that will be useful and modifying them if necessary, creating new components and then putting the whole thing together in a way that makes it useful for the people that will be using it.

Look at some examples of stuff we have put together, put on your thinking cap, imagine taking this piece from that one and imagine building a system that will delight your customers and employees. Then contact infopoint and well get going.
