MAKE Technologies offers online estimates of Legacy Modernization projects through newly launched web site

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) August 12, 2008 — MAKE Technologies has launched a new web site with an innovative offering: the ability for organizations to acquire a rapid estimate of any modernization project.

By inputting key metrics, such programming language, lines of source code, database platform, number of use cases, number of screens and so on, MAKE is able to create a reliable estimate to replace the legacy system with a modern Java EE/SOA system. Site visitors simply need to click on the Get an Estimate tab and fill out the form to receive an estimate within two business days.

The new web site also features an innovative structure, based the industry-leading WordPress blogging platform: in addition to MAKE’s corporate blogging site, http://gotlegacy.net, the entire regular web site is now fully bloggable.

“What this means is that almost every page is now a place for conversations,” states Chris Dollard, Director of Communications for MAKE Technologies. “Instead of just reading static product descriptions, we encourage site visitors to create conversations with the commenting blog feature. Almost every page on the site is bloggable, so our customers and partners can interact and contribute to the conversations regarding how our TLM modernization platform can help organizations overcome their legacy system headaches at lower cost and risk than any other approach.”

According to leading industry analyst firms such as Gartner Group, IDG and Forrester Research, legacy systems are becoming a significant barrier to adopting business-agile information technology (IT) services for most established organizations.

“With this new site,” Dollard continues, “we’re now able to invite IT managers and CIOs to plug in their metrics and get a more reasonable idea as to what they’re facing. We’re confident that when they profile their system within our modernization platform, they’ll be pleasantly surprised at the result.”

Welcome to our new web site!

Over the weekend we launched our new web site; we hope you’ll like the innovative approach and features. We’ve built our entire site on the WordPress blogging platform, so almost every page is bloggable.

Blogging?
Blogging platform? Yes! WordPress allows you to build a site that looks and operates like a regular web site, but blogging is at the heart of it. Every news release, job posting, event posting automatically become blog posts that are actively indexed by Google and others. Every product description page, rather than being static marketing-speak, now has the ability to solicit comments and feedback from site visitors, hence allowing conversations to occur at the product level. We strongly encourage you to post questions or comments on any page.

Cool TLM Flash Graphic
Mik Lernout, our Director of Technology, worked his Flash magic and created an awesome interactive Flash diagram for TLM on the home page. Check out the rollovers! When you click on any topic, you are taken to a landing page that describes TLM in more depth.

SNS Case Study
Our greatest success to date is the Motor Vehicles and Vital Statistics modernization project for Nova Scotia, so you will see a new article on the SNS project, complete with metrics and business improvements.

Get an Estimate
We now have a standard form that potential site visitors can fill out to obtain an estimate from our Sales Support team. If you have legacy, and are interested in replacing it with modern technology, look for it on the main navigation bar on the far right, or click here.

Global Partners
Our global partners are now listed on the home page: IBM, Oracle, EDS and Unisys.

This is, of course, just the beginning. We’ll be adding tons more content in the coming months, so tap a feed, bookmark us, or visit us often.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the site, don’t hesitate to contact me: cdollard at maketechnologies.com
