Our Challenge at Solutions For Tommorrow was to interface the E-commerce website with a fully developed retail back office solution. Within weeks we were able to create an online ordering system including active inventory without double entry. When an order is placed on the web the order is automatically placed in the back office database reducing the available inventory.

Whamtech had a very unique challenge for us. One of their corporate missions is to catalog the complete internet. Competing with the likes of Lycos, Yahoo and Alta vista our challenge was to create a spider which would be scallable and fully integrate with their proprietary database. Whamtech has created one of the first VLDB's in the industry. While others struggle to go beyond the 200 million URL catalog whamtech is scheduled to go well beyond 500 Million in the year 2000.

"We asked CatalogFoundry.com to create a internet web spider which would allow us to capture the complete web for our WholeWeb.net Search Engine. We knew we had a database which would allow us to catalog over a billion urls but we didn't have the spidering technology. Although CatalogFoundry.com's spider was to be an interim solution so we could prove our concept and attract investors it turned out to be better than the industrial strength spiders for purchase."

Our challenge with Design Experience was to provide a corporate image as well as improve communication between their clients and their vendors. Design Experience is an interior decorator and we were able to give their clients the ability to review their project status on-line. We also allowed their clients to make choices of styles and products online. In the next phase of their engagment we will be communicating orders and invoices electronically with their vendors.
