Business Need
-
The Newland Group had designed and built the AAA South Jersey website some years ago so it was time to refresh the look.
-
The Club had made a corporate decision to move to a Windows server platform so the new site should be built accordingly.
Challenges
-
The third party company hired by the Club to build an API-based membership application was struggling and thus jeopardizing the entire project.
-
Newland's core strength was in open source architecture, so at that time Windows was a new environment for us.
Solution
-
Newland became a Microsoft registered partner and worked closely with that company to obtain the skills we needed. As a result we were able to build the new site on a Windows platform while maintaining our customary high quality standards.
-
We built the site on two servers running two different operating systems. The main site was built on a Windows server to meet the corporate standards. We installed the existing trasactional membership pages on a virtual machine running Linux. Finally we integrated the two so that users can move seamlessly from one server to the other without even knowing they are doing so.
