Solution
SSi worked closely with the clients management team as well as end users using an agile delivery process to continuously create, enhance, optimize and support a Web 2.0 solution targeting a key demographic of senior citizens.
Given the short deadlines and expedited code to delivery standards, SSi proposed an open source, component based solution using DotNetNuke framework built using C# programming language. Using this framework allowed SSi to deliver highest quality code, fast and cheap. Using a combination of custom made, 3rd party and open source widgets (components), the average phase delivery process, from requirements to deployment took less than 3 weeks.
