What is webfrontIRP?

You're likely quite familiar with ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), those bloated, highly complex software and database programs designed for large enterprises to enable multiple divisions and departments to work together sharing information and processes?

webfrontIRP is an Internet Resource Program. It is the evolution of our industry leading Content Management Software, developed over the past 10 years, i-WebSuite. Unlike ERP programs like SAP and Oracle, webfrontIRP does not require months or years for implementation. Even better, it is an elegantly simple software application based on the On-Demand principle of software - use what you need, when you need and leave the server security and associated costs to the providing company.

Why a "webfront"?

Up until a year or so ago, companies had what we call "websites", they were relatively "static", rarely updated and costly to manage. A website had to reach multiple audiences in the same way, with the same message. Today, with advances in technology and the Web being accessible almost anywhere due to wireless access and public "hot spots", people want to interact with current and potential suppliers differently, for different reasons.

In the run of a day, your website may be visited by employees, potential acquirers or investors, current shareholders, family of employees, competitors (our competitors visit our website several times a week), potential employees and media as well as search engine spiders - not to mention prospective customers. Your employees likely conduct a number of work-related activities online every day as well, from market research to conducting sales activities with potential customers.

Because of this, a website that is static and doesn't allow these multiple stakeholders to engage with you, becomes a corporate risk, rather than a corporate asset.
