Solutions

PapayaSoft can develop a variety of solutions to meet your information technology needs.

Web Application Development and Intranets

Web application development refers to web sites that actually do stuff: store data in a database, allow search and retrieval of that data, permit members to login and logout, etc. Intranets are simply web sites whose intended audience is internal to your organization.

Examples of such sites might include:

Real Estate sites: Real-estate agents have an inventory of listed properties and visitors want to sarch/access that inventory based upon property location and other property features. Internally, you and your staff use a login-protected admin interface to add/edit/delete listings.
Shopping/eCommerce sites: Whatever you have in your product catalog, selling it online provides you with another point-of-sale and braodens your sales reach. These systems use shopping carts and online payment gateways to facilitate online purchasing using credit cards.
Customers/Supplier areas: Create special login-protected areas of your site where customers and suppliers access information specific to their needs (orders, contact information, room availability, etc).
Custom applications: Only you know what you need.

For example, one client was a group of retail financial advisers in Australia that has a custom application that allows advisers to manage client data, generate long-term financial plans, print dynamically generated PDF reports complete with line-graphs, pie-graphs, and bar graphs.

Another client was a business association that needed an an internal tool that allowed their staff to maintain their member lists and send out periodic newsletters and updates.

Whatever your needs, we can help to build a site that that meets them.

Web Sites and Web Hosting

A basic company-presence website is the bare minimum required these days for nearly all businesses. But it is often enough. Such a site can contain basic company information, a description of products and services, and contact information.

Using existing graphic/design elements from your logo, or starting completely from scratch using only your business description and a discussion of the emotional essence you are trying to convey, we can create a custom-designed site that does the job.

And when it comes time to acquire your domain name and host your site, we can help you find the right providers.

Consulting Services

Whether you are hooking up internet service for your business, buying new hardware, establishing service contracts, or pursuing web hosting, sometimes it's useful to simply have an expert at your side to help you understand all the techno-jargon out there. While we are as adept at the techno-talk as anyone else, we realize that for most people who are more interested in their businesses or their real lives, the dense fog of jargon can sometimes make it difficult to avail themselves of the real efficiencies that are genuinely available using moderm tech systems.

We believe that the point of language is to communicate, not to puff up and impress. Consequently, we are happy to explain everything to you in as much or as little detail as you require, using simple terms to describe what is going on, allowing you to understand the choices available. Alternatively, we are happy to serve as your representative, shielding you from all those details and making aggregate suggestions on your best path forward.
