Solutions & Services
What we offer
We plan and develop professional solutions for content and document & information management for multi-national companies, public administrations, and SMBs, using the best open source software available on the market, such as ALFRESCO, SugarCRM and TYPO3. We partner with our clients, providing ongoing support, mentoring and operational training. WEBFORMAT is the first Italian company officially certified as a TYPO3 Integrator.
We have acquired our know-how through over 500 projects of medium to high complexity over the last 10 years. After analyzing each situation, we work together with the client to determine the best technical and operational solution within the requirements, timeframes and available budget.
Internet portals
Our content management solutions enable us to maintain ongoing, total control of the portal, specifically designed for:
- Developing workflows and workspaces based on your company's procedures
- Enabling highly customized access and security policies
- Keeping maintenance costs minimal while complying with the accessibiltity requirements of the "Stanca" law for public administrations.
Additionally, all our projects are technically optimized for excellent search engine positioning (SEO ready).
Intranet
An intranet site improves internal company communication and achieves significant savings in terms of staff efficiency and effectiveness.
Procedures are automated by configuring custom workflows for requirements such as vacation requests, reserving and managing company resources (cars, projectors, conference rooms, etc.), calling meetings, and so forth. Access to the intranet—through LDAP, SSO or other custom authentication methods—can be extended to mobile devices such as Blackberrys and mobile browers in general, permitting closer contact with co-workers who are frequently off-site.
Document management
Document management systems enable acquiring, sharing and archiving files through various revisions, as well as full text searches. They can be transparently introduced into a company's work environment through integrated virtual file systems.
WEBFORMAT will help you efficiently manage and organize your company documents and internal communication processes. For example, we design integrated systems that can automatically extract information from documents, which can then be tagged, categorized, and transformed into various formats such as DOC, PDF, and so forth as part of a multi-level workflow.
Custom development
The experience and competence of our development team covers all areas of the TYPO3 CMS (templates and custom extensions), the ALFRESCO document management system (workflow development and custom modules), the SugarCRM (new module development), and the specific technologies employed. Our competence includes building standalone applications as well as integrating with other corporate systems.
Full Managed High Level Hosting
Our managed hosting solutions are designed for those who need reliable, secure, highly available service with maximum performance.
Our servers are Sun hardware running the FreeBSD operating system. They are located in Italy and Switzerland, directly connected to the European mixes by gigabit pipes that guarantee extremely high speed and network availability. Daily and weekly snapshot backups archive not just the data files but the entire server as well, allowing a fast and accurate recovery of all data if necessary.
Consulting
We partner with our clients, offering consulting services in developing Internet and intranet portals, building e-commerce projects, and implementing and optimizing document flow management. Our consulting services span from a requirements analysis to the optimization of work performed. We provide consulting services internationally.
Specialized Education
We provide personalized in-house education courses at the client's location, ranging from courses for end users to courses for custom extension and module developers for TYPO3 and Alfresco. We also offer courses on PHP5 programming, SQL, XHTML, and CSS.
The quality of our courses is assured by continuous learning by our staff and by years of experience in the field.
