Air Change multi-awarded technology features in some of Australia's most prominent green buildings, offices, schools, gyms, indoor pools, retail outlets and hospitals. Air Change energy recovery systems have also been exported to Asia and the Pacific regions.

Air Change needed an intranet portal to help their clients to select the right product(s) for their project based on their requirements.

The intranet portal is also able to create a 'what if' scenario by varying different parameters to test if the product can be used to handle certain environment conditions and select the appropriate products for their clients.

A simple layout design and navigation is chosen to create a user friendly website to cater for Air Change's clients to find the information quickly and effectively.

Elixir Solutions Provider worked closely with Air Change to develop a comprehensive product recommendation module which can also be used by Air Change's clients to run 'what if' scenario simulation, complete with psychrometric charts as well as detailed calculation for different parameters for the unit.

To help Air Change's clients manage multiple projects better the portal saves and categorizes different products and multiple units into project groups.

Air Change's engineering team receive the up-to-date information about product design parameters when they look at the same data from the portal, hence reducing the amount of engineering requests and minimisingdata input error in the design.

Investors Mutual Limited is one of Australia's most successful investment funds managers.

Recently awarded fund manager of the year for Australian equities, at the prestigious Money Management/ASSIRT awards.

The company had a manual system of inputting data from a number of different sources into their back office portfolio system.

It was decided to adopt an automated system to reduce the error rate during data manipulation and to increase staff productivity as a result of providing them with more time to perform their main functions.

The automated system needed to retrieve stock index information from a Barra system for different market sections and provide a live stock price from Credit Suisse.

After, additionaly, calculating the weight and market capitalisation for each different sector the system needed to process the information in a format that could be read in the back office system.

Elixir Solutions Provider developed an automatic interface program that achieved stock index information retrieval with live stock pricing, weight and market capitalisation and a process whereby the information could be read by the back office system.

The interface program achieved automatic execution on a daily basis, and automatic report retrieval from the perpetual report system to back office system.

Installation of an easy to use live interface program eliminating manual data manipulation and the associated high error rate, now provides staff with increased free time to undertake the main tasks they are employed to perform. This provides the company with a more effective, efficient and cost saving system.

A review of existing system identified the storing of a lot of unnecessary information. This resulted in spin-off benefits, in that the Consulate was able to simplify their printed visa application form, and reduce the amount of time required to enter information.

A review of the entire visa application and issuing process also identified and verified what actually needed to be stored on the system, to meet the consular office's needs.

A new system based on a more modern windows platform was introduced to provide an efficient and user friendly interface.

The new windows based system improved the entire visa application process.

The application administrator was able to maintain the parameters of the site such as had already been implemented -- type of visa application, fees for different visas etc..

Investors Mutual Limited is one of Australia’s most successful investment funds managers.

Recently awarded fund manager of the year for Australian equities, at the prestigious Money Management/ASSIRT awards.

The company’s existing web site contained little, if any, up-to-date information and was experiencing very low traffic hits as a consequence.

The image of the site presented the company as old and rigid which was not in keeping with its desire to project a modern image.

As a result of there being no content management all changes needed to be undertaken through Melbourne office resulting in a “stale” site.

Information was not easy to find because of its being hidden below several layers of pages, e.g: to find the unit price of a fund involved clicking on fund page from main page, on the fund type page and then on the unit price page.

The site needed to have a more modern look and feel, and reflect the company’s successful image.

A clean and simple navigation was required to make information available, quickly and with a minimum number of mouse clicks.

Information needed to be grouped and easily updateable.

A scaleable web site was required to handle increased traffic hits and the addition of future facilities, such as chat room, forum, newsletter subscription, video broadcast etc.

Information was grouped logically into 7 main headings and displayed on a menu on each page to improve navigation and to make retrieval of information easier and quicker.

Page clutter was eliminated to make pages more visually appealing, providing a cleaner and easier page to read.

A colour code was introduced to differentiate one fund from another. This code was in line with the colours used in the printed fund newsletter for easier user identification.

An up-to-date news and press release section was introduced so that users/investors could be kept advised of breaking news. An investor column was also added for same purpose.

Fund information (including unit prices up to 5 days for all funds) which was previously only available on separate pages, was made available on one page. Unit price histories were also available by selecting a date range.

To reflect a young and energetic, as well as, a professional, trustworthy and successful fund manager the following colours were introduced to web site:

• Blue, to represent trust, security and technology;
• Silver/Grey, to show intellect and elegance;
• Yellow, to provide an air of optimism and philosophy; and
• complimentary colours to confirm the younger image.

A visually appealing web site that is simple in style and easy to navigate.

Up-to-date information provided to IML clients/investors with site able to be used, as well, as a marketing tool.

In first 2 weeks after beginning of May 2002 launch, the new web site had increased traffic by 8 fold over old site.

Encyclopaedia Britannica is world's most respected and premiere knowledge and digital information source on every topic imaginable.

The existing web site was cluttered and lacked consistency from one page to the next.

There was no navigation facility from the detail page and the site was generally very difficult to navigate.

The content structure was also unacceptable and had been created using static web pages.

To modernise the look and feel of the site for 1999 Dinosaur campaigns and to enhance the company's image as the most trusted source of information, worldwide. To provide customers with a site that would be visually appealing, increase their experience, and be easy to use and navigate. The sourcing of information in a timely manner, was also an important priority.

Working closely with Encyclopaedia Britannica, Elixir Solutions Provider developed a worldwide corporate image, rather than the previous differing look from one country to another. This was achieved through use of a standard template throughout the site creating a consistent look and feel which was not in evidence previously.

The site was made easier to navigate by use of colour coding and the logical grouping of information. This provided the user with the opportunity to type in a question and have the search result returned directly. The creation of an online product registration page negated the previous requirement for Britannica data entry staff to re-enter information from the registration form. Instant Research was added to the website enabling the user to obtain an article and immediately display it on the web site. This search of IRS database enabled information to be retrieved in seconds, rather than days. Using the old system, Britannica would send a printed copy of the article to the user, which was both old fashioned and labour costly. E-commerce was another useful feature added, and to maintain and update the content on a regular basis access was given to Britannica through a backend database.

The new web site is a joy to use as navigation is easy and information quick to retrieve. The new colour coded navigation system has made this a reality. Users are able to obtain the information they require in seconds rather than days, as previously.

The product registration process is now up-to-date and Britannica is achieving a steady and ongoing increase in orders on their new web site, while at the same time enjoying considerable cost saving benefits.
