Critical Path Software, Inc.

Web Applications

We specialize in creating dynamic, database driven web sites. Using proven tools and methodologies, we take a full life cycle approach on every project that we run with the goal of delivering robust, reliable and scalable results.

With software development experience covering almost every popular computing platform, we can draw on a breadth and depth of talent rarely matched by other Web developers and design shops. We participate with our clients not only at the technical level, but at the business level too, recognizing that the adoption of new technological systems impact the organization and its customers, as well as the bottom line.

Our philosophy is that Web sites require a multi-disciplinary team based approach. These projects require team members with a myriad of skills and they require rigorous project management oversight to ensure success. We are able to provide services in all of the following areas:

Analysis and Strategic Planning
Design and Architecture
Software Development
Testing and Quality Assurance
Deployment
Sustaining Services
Project Management

Case Study: Glimmertrain Press

Glimmer Train Press publishes a renowned quarterly reader of fiction and poetry populated with materials from both Standard submissions and the winners of Competitions. The new system obsoletes the need for manuscripts to be printed, mailed, opened and filed, saving expenses and reducing resource consumption for both the Press and its contributors.

Case Study: Native Seed Network

The Native Seed Network Web site reduces barriers to scientists and land managers seeking to restore native plant populations by providing a way for land managers to find appropriate native species for restoration use. Through the use of a series of forms on the site, seed collectors can document the location of native species found in the wild and register with NSN to have these materials certified. Participation by growers as well as sellers and buyers allow the materials to be tracked through cultivation to out planting, lower the cost and improving the quality of restoration efforts.

Case Study: The Lemelson Foundation

Jerome Lemelson was one of the most prolific inventors of our time. The foundation’s web site supports efforts efforts to encourage and dissmeinate invention by providing information about these programs through text, video and links to sites of interest.

CPS transformed an existing static site into one that is dynamically delivered and fully content managed.

Case Study: Track Me

The TrackMe project involved a custom built device combining a handheld computer with a cellular phone and global positioning system unit. The cell phone sized unit would send current position information to a server that stored information in a database. The web site would dynamically allow a user to not only see the current location of the unit in near real time, but also to trace the route taken by unit on top of a street map. Position resolution was accurate to a few feet.

Critical Path Software was able to supply a myriad of resources for the hardware, software and network services required to create a working prototype of the entire product.

Case Study: Xerox Color Connection

The Color Connection is a customer relationship site for owners of Xerox color and monochrome printers. The site has a repository updated on a regular basis with new content, such as calendars, greeting cards, newsletters, signs, banners, and educational materials.

Registered users of the site see links personalized based on the profile they maintain, and have access to links for support resources based on the printers they have indicated that they own or use.

Case Study: Foster Pepper Tooze, LLP

This Portland law firm broke away from their larger affiliate, carving out a new identity with a quickly developed site that is simple to maintain.
