What We Do

Next Wave specializes not just in "design" of web pages or visual presentation schemes, but in Information Architectures (IA).  We see a web site not just as a "brochure", but as the hub of your company's interaction with the rest of the World.

 

One basic example of IA is the comparison between a standard static HTML web site (non) architecture, and using a Content Management System (CMS), a defining feature of which is the use of a database as the repository for content.  This allows the CMS script to assemble each "page" on demand.   This has many benefits, and delivers almost unlimited possibilities to the web developer.  Some examples:

Hosted CRM

CRM is a hot concept, and rightly so. The acronym stands for Customer Relationship Management system.

Typical CRM functions include:

  • Capturing leads from your web site
  • Assigning leads for followup
  • Tracking information and opportunities that present
  • Calendaring to make sure that contacts are made
  • Email list management

Other functions may include basic document management, a "dashboard" overview screen, mail merge, quotes/invoices, and others.

We recommend SugarCRM , a web-server based solution, with the attendant ease of deployment, and convenience of being able to work from anywhere that there is an Internet connection.  From an IT perspective, you have the flexibiity to choose between:

-A completely hosted, On-Demand solution

-An on-premise "appliance", a complete server that comes to you ready to run, or

-An on-premise installation to your own server


The CRM system will help you and your staff ensure that everyone has up to date information about your current and future customers, and that everyone works together smoothly to provide a positive customer experience.
