Professional Services

Webfarm provides a wide variety of services intended to develop an effective, robust and scalable networked information environment. Our service offerings have grown out of infrastructure and application development for a wide variety of clients and requirements.Specific case studies can be viewed in the context of client development that we've done.

Custom Application Development

We develop network applications that reflect and extend your existing and evolving business processes.
Using the state of the art in information technology, we can work with you to assess the most effective path of evolution for your business process. Assessing your processes at a very granular level helps to minimize the trauma to your organization and maximize the effectiveness of the new technology.

We've developed applications that are small, focused projects like the work that we did for the Print-Samples-On-Demand project for Hewlett-Packard North American Hard Copy Marketing division. This application was part of a larger web project that encompased dozens of product focused sites.
An example of a larger, more complex application is the Warranty Card Registration site for DuPont Corian® Division.The registration application is a complex app in itself, but still fits into a larger ecosystem of business applications inside and outside of DuPont.

Network Infrastructure Design

At Webfarm, we believe that an effective network design begins with simplicity and extensibility. The success of the design and implementation of your network grows demand for more and more intersting and sophisticated services.
Designing a network that can be successful and scale with the services and needs of the end users is an on-going task that requires perspective on the front end to be able to specify appropriately robust technology to begin with while keeping the path clear toward the new and exciting services that are being developed.

We also offer technical consulting on security matters where we can help companies develop security policies and train users in managing their computing environments with an appropriate level of protection.

Strategic Consulting

Our professional services consulting covers the technology and the link between technology and business, or, as we prefer to think about it, the link between business and technology because business is the primary focus. Opportunity Assessment is one area where we are able to provide a unique and valuable perspective to your existing strategy because we have designed and implemented the business to technology link in a variety of novel and appropriate ways. The existence of a technology does not necessarily translate into an opportunity, but an opportunity with the support of appropriate and effective technology can be a huge win for your company and may be easier than you think. Thinking in terms of Business Strategy, Brand Strategy and Customer Support is part of the glue that we bring to projects.

It may seem like heresy for a technology company to suggest that technology is not the answer to your problems, but that is what you will hear if we get a chance to talk about strategy with your company. Don't get us wrong, we are still primarily a technology company and will work with proven technology and the latest evolution to build appropriate applications for your company, but the answer is never just about technology regardless of how simple the issue might seem. It is no surprise that the people and the business goal are the primary topics in the strategy, but it is quite surprising how often strategies forget that technology's place is supporting the people and business not driving itself.

We are also available for early stage reports and analysis in Opportunity Assessment, Online Strategy and Engineering Requirements, Information Architecture, Systems Integration and Design and User Experience Strategy,Online Brand Strategy.

Application Services Hosting

We've been hosting our own applications and have developed a topology for hosting and managing applications in a secure, robust and scalable architecture. Since our applications often require a scale or integration that is not off-the-shelf, we've built up our infrastructure to be able to fexibly handle clustered web services with application services and data warehouses.

We do not do commodity web hosting, but we wukk work with you to discuss the most appropriate hosting scenarios for your project. We are more than happy to talk with anybody about their application hosting needs. We strive to provide premium service for applications that require the highest level of flexibility, scalability and reliability.
