Gold Coast City Council
Extranet Application
The Gold Coast City Council needed a web-enabled database to distribute information about Gold Coast businesses.
Speedwell planned and created a solution that allowed users to view a "business snapshot" of companies within the Council area via a public-access extranet facility. Features include:
- intuitive and branded interface whereby current and potential customers and business partners could perform restricted searches using a combination of key parameters such as industry sector, organisation name and location;
- the ability for business users to manage and update their own sub-set of information remotely through a web browser under the moderation of Council staff;
- an opt-in database marketing tool that allows the Council to extract email addresses and create an automated e-newsletter campaign; and
- a choice of two "skins" (shown here) for different target audiences. The system has been built to easily scale for new departments within a short period of time.
