Michelin Development required a solution to collect, organize and analyze a large amount of data from a large number of diverse companies. This data and the ability to interact with the data is fundamental to the decision making process for this division of Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. Michelin Development is devoted to the creation of quality sustainable jobs in the Waterloo Region of Southern Ontario. The process of selecting and helping businesses create jobs is very demanding and takes into consideration many different selection criteria. The solutions that the Damselfly Solutions Inc. team came up with satisfied Michelin's requirements... and exceeded them! Reduced effort and better data makes the process faster, more efficient and ultimately contributes to the creation of more jobs in less time.

The solution included an interactive web application to allow perspective clients the ability to apply on line for services that can be supplied by Michelin Development. This application was developed in Visual Studio ASP.net 2.0 and supplies the clients with a number of forms (see MDC) where information is entered using SSL security and is then saved to an SQL relational database. The website www.michelindevelopment.ca also required a secure login approach to further protect clients information. This application will also provide the client with the ability to monitor the progress of their application on line and the Michelin Development steering committee has the capability of online reporting and data analysis.

"Working with Damselfly Solutions on my Michelin Development web application has been a great experience. They worked under a very tight timeline, never missed a deadline and were very flexible as we went through the development process. I am very impressed with how my web application turned out. It is easy to use, intuitive and looks terrific. They are true IT professionals."

John Tully,   Director, Michelin Development

This well established and respected construction firm needed a method to keep in touch with it's clients. Hiawatha Construction is located in McGregor Bay, Ontario, Canada and is focused on the seasonal home and cottage industry. Almost all of the clients are located elsewhere during the winter months but have a keen interest in knowing how projects are progressing, viewing pictures of their cottages throughout the year keeps them informed about the well being of their vacation property.

Hiawatha Construction engaged Damselfly Solutions Inc.  to create a website with a difference! Clients can login to a secured connection to see photos, drawings and messages for their property. Being physically remote from the construction process doesn't mean that the clients had to be "excluded" from the project. Many times the availability of photos and construction details during the project has helped ensure the client's needs are met and the finished project is exactly what they wanted!

"Our website has made a great difference in our business! The ability for our customers to view daily progress on their project has really let them feel involved in the process. This has taken away much of the fear and concern about large projects happening while they are not here. Our customers are very appreciative of the ease of use and secure connection that our website provides."

Robert Lindner, Owner, Hiawatha Construction
