Website Development: Wisconsin Governor's Business Plan Contest


   

 

The Wisconsin Tech Council (WTC) came to us in early 2008 in need of development services related to their Business Plan Contest web application.  They had just kicked off the 2008 contest and it turned out their outsourced developer had delivered a product that lacked the full functionality and contained major quality concerns.  EarthIT accepted the responsibility of quickly getting up to speed on the requirements and was able to successfully repair the web application functionality while limiting interruptions to the contest.  The application was originally developed in ASP.Net with a SQL Server backend.  At the point we became involved it made economic sense to continue with those technologies and so functionality improvements were made to the existing system.  The web application allows users, depending on user type, to submit business plans, view, judge, score, comment on business plans and communicate through chat with the contest participants.  There are administrative tools including reporting tools that allow WTC to efficiently run the contest.  The WTC looked to EarthIT in late 2008 to make functionality improvements for their 2009 contest and asked us to produce a similar application, with some functionality differences, for their new contest called Dane County Yes! (Youth Entrepreneurs in Science).    EarthIT was able to provide value immediately by being able to step in during a time of immediate need, gain an understanding of the application requirements, and allow the contest to continue uninterrupted.  We continue to provide value by way of functionality and design improvements for subsequent contest years.  We have built a relationship with WTC and it's group of organizations based on exceptional customer service and dependability.
