Corporate Use
A single neatComponents server will host your organization's website with full content management. It provides unlimited, but fine grain control to corporate users both for access and editing. It saves licensing, updating and patching multiple copies of conventional website editing software. It provides Intranet and Extranet access at no additional cost.
neatComponents and corporate Web Design Teams
neatComponents has been designed from the top down to make the creation of large corporate websites, Intranets and Extranets quick to build and easy to manage all without being a major drain on staffing or financial resources. It enables you to 'de-skill' website production and maintenance, so that you can redeploy internal staff and be more competitive in your marketplace.
Minimize Staffing Costs
By allowing tight control but with easy access, neatComponents makes it possible to leverage the skills ofyour existing technologists. Unlike ordinary Internet development tools and simplistic Content Management Systems, the nC system does not require any programming at all. You are protected from complexity: the nC system cannot be broken. All functions are managed using straightforward dialog boxes. neatComponents makes it easy for website designers to create sites with what are otherwise difficult features. It takes care of all the fiddly technical administration which you'd normally need a programmer or a hosting tech to handle.
Eliminate Outsourcing and Off-shoring
By eliminating the need to write raw-code and debug processes neatComponents makes it possible to close the development loop. Project managers and site developers can work together directly in what is known as an Agile Environment. There is no need to engage external developers to create specific functionality - which although attractive in principle is a major cause of project failure and cost over-run.
The answer seems to be in no small part down to good communications, driven (in no small part either) by a level of connectedness to the business. There was a level of good-enough-ness in the past, we are told, which was adequate to support more successful development activities, and which is impossible to replicate across contractual and international boundaries.
