Sometimes a company’s needs simply are not met with existing software packages. While Visual Vanguard Media Specialists tries to steer customers towards using applications that have already been developed when possible, there are situations in which these tools do not fit the company’s needs and a custom solution must be developed.

In these cases Visual Vanguard Media Specialists’ team will work with customers to develop a custom solution or application. From conception through deployment and maintenance we assist our clients with a variety of applications. Our services include:

• .NET applications and Web services
• Content management systems
• Ecommerce custom development
• Intranet and extranet portals
• Application integration

The need to manage a website or web application’s content can be a challenge, often resulting in content that becomes stale, outdated and not useful to end customers. With the rapid growth of the Internet as a primary media through which many consumers and businesses conduct research and purchase products, stale content will turn users away before they have a chance to dig into a company’s offerings.

Visual Vanguard Media Specialists has packaged a powerful and highly-customizable content management system (CMS) to provide best-of-breed CMS functionality. Each CMS implementation Visual Vanguard Media Specialists performs is molded around the client’s current and emerging business goals and processes. While the core CMS implementation has a wide range of immediately available core benefits, Visual Vanguard Media Specialists’ platform extends these into the client’s business processes to provide a scalable and cost effective solution.

In today’s interconnected business world, more and more companies are implementing forms of eCommerce to drive business goals and leverage this emerging sales channel with proven returns and low cost of entry.

Businesses of all sizes, offering a full gamut of products, are implementing business-to-consumer (B2C) eCommerce websites to take advantage of this growing digital consumer marketplace where buyers can quickly and easily find their wares, and purchase them at any time, from any location. In addition, many companies are integrating these eCommerce websites directly with their existing accounting and order entry systems, streamlining order fulfillment and delivery for maximum cost efficiency.

In addition to the consumer eCommerce channel, many companies are now conducting eCommerce between their own suppliers and partners as well. This business-to-business (B2B) eCommerce can streamline a company’s entire supply chain.

By providing a company’s suppliers with eCommerce capabilities, the cost of managing inventory and the supply chain can be dramatically reduced. This business process integration can automate the replenishment process, streamline supplier deliveries and keep real-time inventory levels available to all applicable parties, greatly reducing cost and improving operating efficiencies.

Visual Vanguard Media Specialists has worked with a variety of companies to implement eCommerce strategies – both business to consumer and business to business. More than a technology, eCommerce is a way to do business. It allows companies to remove the friction that lives within business transactions with customers and partners alike, and focus on what they do best.
