Sustainable Online Communities

Our solutions are built on an architecture of participation. By that we mean a Web site that engages its audience to participate, take action, or in other ways use it more than just reading material, in order for it to be sustainable or meaningful over the long-term.

The past five years have seen an enormous furor over the potential and pitfalls of online communities. We understand that students today are using these tools and bring them into focus and functionality for you. This solution includes a custom designed, online community which you can use (with students, staff, patrons, clients, or customers) to help answer questions, build communities of practice, and engage others.

Online communities built using the Clarity solution offer a host of features which we can help you implement immediately. Some of these include:

• A genuine, functioning online community - one that requires little management on your part
• Easy publishing efficiency – it takes about as much time as sending an email to publish live to your community site
• Privacy and security - we help you manage your data
• Proven practice - we've built our solution model based on the best of Web 2.0 tools and services

Informed by our ongoing research and analysis of emerging trends and promising technologies, we structure our Web services platform to be “aware” of these and future requirements. The result is the ability to move quickly on new feature requests without reinventing the wheel each time.

All of our engineering solutions are designed to:

• Deploy and function seamlessly within your system
• Meet the highest quality standards
• Maximize the return on your engineering and technology investment
