technologies for providing and enhancing value added services, they evaluated a group of high tech Web hosting companies with the help of a technical consultant and their PR agency - LINTAS. FrontPoint was unanimously selected by
their internal "SPEED NET" team, consultant as well as the ad agency for the expertise we have in the field of Internet Online Commercial Solutions. We executed the project in our Concept to Completion methodology in very

Requirements Before we begin, we defined what they need. We used our industry experience to ask the right questions so that MK get the right solutions. Quickly. This phase also involved LINTAS, the ad
agency, to direct us on the corporate brands that they were building for MK. The process took few days. Getting it right the first time always starts here. Strategic Solutions We envisaged
whole-enterprise solution that not only meet their most immediate business need, but positioned MK strategically for their next immediate business need. We offered MK a complete range of industry-standard solutions for different
requirements. This gave them a low-cost solution that provide MK with reliable service over the long-haul, every time. Business Practices It's all about information, not technology. Successful
corporate web site deployments have one thing in common - effective business practices. We brought our business experience to the table, and worked directly with MK "Speed Net" team to streamline their business processes to
make the most of their information investment. Website Design An impressive Website is a calling card on the Internet. It reveals much about the organization, and is the opportunity to tell
prospective customers about products and services. We converted a theme conceived by the ad agency to the home page of the web site – when the switch in the room view on the home page is turned on, the rest of the links appear
along with the room getting lightened. Our experience with Internet Website design
translated the rest of the theme into rapid deployment of an effective site. Content Management Outdated, inaccurate, non-authoritative information can be an instant killer of any Internet
Website. Simple indexing systems actually compound the problem. We showed our document management / maintenance experience to the table, resulting in streamlined processes that provided properly catalogued, managed information on
the MK website. This means that MK's intended audience will find accurate, up-to-date, authoritative information quickly and easily when they need it. Application MK wanted to provide a new
facility Mix and Match between switch and wall colour through their web site. But to make this happen through a browser interface and to provide the same through an average 28 kbps line was very difficult. We used Java and
JavaScript to deliver this dynamic data-driven transactional application to the desktop through browser. Enterprise Integration The presence of a global Internet has created an opportunity for
companies to use it as a corporate backbone for some applications. It is ideally suited for organizations, like MK, with small branch offices spread all over the globe. We offered MK a three phase plan to achieve this goal, to link
these locations reliably, securely, and at a very low cost. Training and Support Knowledge Transfer is a vital part of every project we complete. When our role is completed, our client will know
what we know. This guarantees continued reliable operation of your Internet site long after we're gone. Technologies
