Internet Services

Prescient plans and builds highly effective websites that…
  • are demonstrably better than the competition;
  • make CEOs and users happy; and

  • planning, launching and managing all aspects of a consumer portal with more than 55 million hits per year;
  • transforming an existing intranet (SMB) into a high-powered business system with a two-year ROI of 700% ($1.5 million); and
  • transforming an enterprise’s intranet AND website into highly functional, user-friendly portals that that prior to a redesign scored benchmarked ratings of 4 out of 10, and now score better than 8 out of 10 with many accolades from management and customers alike.

  • Internet Feature: The Nexus of Web Success
    Everyone has a website. It’s not enough to say that every other company is doing it. If you haven’t done so already, you need to ask yourself ‘why’ you’re building a website and determine how it will measurably contribute to your organization.

Internet Statistics

Despite falling-out of fashion, the massive dot-com meltdown, and pessimistic economic reports, Internet use and e-commerce continues to expand at a heated pace. Here are just some of the statistics (estimated):

  • Total users: 940 million (source: Global Reach, March 2004)

  • Total Internet hosts (sites): 233 million (source: Internet Software Consortium, Jan. 2004)

  • Total value (GDP): $41.4 trillion (source: Global Reach, March 2004)

  • Internet Generated Revenue (2002): $1.23 trillion (source: Nua Analysis)

  • Total number of daily search engine requests: 275 million (source: InternetStats.com)

  • Estimated # of e-mail boxes in 2005: 1.2 billion (source: IDC)

Websites are complex and expensive investments. Their scope and reach should touch and positively affect every corner of your organization. The rigor and execution required to build and maintain a successful Internet, intranet or extranet site is massive – from governance to content management, and from technology to business processes. At the heart of a successful site is the strength of the underlying plan.

Failure to develop an integrated plan that accounts for an organization’s structure, stakeholder, and user requirements will certainly ensure failure and, with it, a loss of significant time, money and effort.

Once planned, executed and launched, an Internet, intranet or extranet site cannot rest on its laurels. The pace of technology, customer and employee demands, and competitive pressure demand that your websites achieve and beat expectations and continually show incremental improvement.
