In addition to designing and producing their .NET-based public web
site, we developed numerous data-driven capabilities, contest pages,
recipe search, health news database, and the administration to allow Pilgrim's
Pride to maintain their content via web browser.
New features include a consumer-focused theme, the creation of
a persona for Bo's daughter Greta, a completely database-driven product
description and presentation capability, and Bo's World, an interactive portion
of the site which utilizes Flash animation to educate and entertain visitors of
all ages.
As Pilgrim's Pride adds or removes products, simply adding or
deleting them in their product database automatically includes them in the
site, with no HTML programming required. We've also tied the recipe
database into CalorieKing's XML-based web service to retrieve nutritional info
on recipes, and also implemented a web services interface to The Weather
Channel to obtain local grilling forecasts.
Pragmatx has also been chosen to design some really cool things
for Pilgrim's Pride, including the logo for the Pilgrim's Bowl Classic, the
sign for Bo Pilgrim Park (the new baseball complex at Stephen F. Austin), and
Pilgrim's 60th Anniversary Logo.

Deanan has been providing gourmet popcorn for fundrasing since 1987, and if
you've ever bought popcorn in a school fundraiser, chances are you've munched
on Deanan products.
Deanan brought pragmatx in to make their web sales "pop", and that's exactly
what we did, completely revamping their web presence and integrating both
company information and a shopping cart into a new site, which rolled out in
July of 2006.
The site is a .NET commerce solution built on top of
the AbleCommerce .NET storefront, and interfaces with UPS, a credit card
gateway, and Deanan's factory. But most importantly, it interfaces with
Deanan's customers!

FaceTime Communications, a leading provider of technology for
secure instant messaging (IM), desired to redesign their web site around new
branding and migrate to a new hosting facility at the same time. During this
process, they needed to be able to continue capturing sales leads, updating
their site with frequent press releases, and announcing and holding web
seminars.
Pragmatx created a new site layout to reflect their branding
change and better state their message, and we upgraded their technology from
ASP to .NET, added some tasteful Flash imagery, and completely rearchitected
their site so that articles and forms are much more highly automated, reducing
their ongoing maintenance costs.
To keep their client base informed, pragmatx implemented RSS
syndication of threat alerts and an email-based threat bulletin that is
automatically distributed daily to subscribers. A back-end web-based
administration tool was developed to manage the FaceTime threat database and
manage subscriber and email distributions.

To better emphasize their product message and purpose, NeoPath Networks turned
to pragmatx to create a new and improved Web presence. As a leading provider of
high performance file storage management solutions, NeoPath Networks wanted
to drive more sales leads from the site while also providing
access to product info and documentation for existing and perspective clients.
Pragmatx worked with the NeoPath marketing team to refine the product messaging
and target their customer audience with a new design and layout. Moving the
site to ASP.Net allowed for centralized navigation components, multi-functional
lead forms, and a single point of integration with salesforce.com. These site
architecture improvements will help to reduce costs for NeoPath in the areas of
site updates and enhancements while enhancing the overall communication with
current and prospective clients.
NeoPath Networks was acquired by Cisco Systems in March 2007

When Port Authority Technologies was ready to add some advanced features to
their existing HTML site, they contacted pragmatx. Adding SEO optimization,
salesforce.com integrated lead generation and incorporating corporate messaging
into the homepage were some of the first things we tackled.
pragmatx also added the Data Security Labs section of the
site to highlight current security issues important to their customer
base. This data-driven area on the site uses counters, calculators and
graphical charts generated on-the-fly to show how leak protection can be costly
to an organization and how PortAuthority Technologies solutions address each
leak type.
PortAuthority Technologies was acquired by Websense in January
2007

FirsTech Payment Processing, Inc. is a fast-growing provider of
walk-in and online payment processing services for utility companies, insurance
companies, telecoms, and charitable organizations.
Pragmatx performed a complete re-branding and then designed and
developed printed collateral in concert with the web site so that the company's
presentation is consistent across all media. An on-demand Flash-based demo of
the company’s offerings is also part of this site.
To support their network of payment agents, FirsTech needed a
microsite that helps customers find the payment location closest to them.
Pragmatx designed and developed this site to allow users to enter a zip code
and find locations within a range of their current location. A database
of payment locations was integrated with zip code and distance/radius
algorithms to create a list of valid locations of the user. Google map
links are created dynamically to allow the user to get a map to each location
with one click.

One of the very first factoring companies on the web, American
Receivable Corporation had gradually seen their search result positioning drop
as more and more competitors posted sites. But this 24-year veteran of the
business knew that their customer service set them apart from their
competition. So pragmatx not only designed and developed a new web site to
reflect the fact that even rock-solid companies with a history of great
performance can change with the times, we rebranded them and created a fresh
message for their site.
As part of the branding process, we designed new business
cards, stationery, marketing brochures, and online advertising, then embarked
on a campaign to raise their rankings in results of the major search engines,
to ensure that their site generated the kind of qualified leads it was intended
to.

.NET technologies, including dynamic display of bank officers in sidebars,
dynamic news items. In order to allow Texas Capital Bank staff to maintain and
expand the site, we also provided templates so they could easily add content
themselves.

Personalized Women's Healthcare is a medical practice dedicated
to the care of girls and women throughout their entire lifetimes. Pragmatx
designed their website to complement the brochures and decor of the office,
including 360-degree QuickTime video tours of the lobby, ultrasound room, and
patient rooms.
Most important is the integration with Medfusion's interface to
the practice management system at the office, enabling patients to enter and
update their health history, insurance coverage, and contact information
directly and securely from the comfort of their own homes. This also
saves the practice from having to enter handwritten patient forms into the
system, which makes the patient's visits go smoother and the office operate
more efficiently.

office so they'll realize it's an OK place to be, while reassuring parents that
their child will be receiving care from one of the nation's leading experts in
childrens' skin conditions.

| McAfee (Network Associates) |

The pragmatx team designed and developed an intranet site which Network
Associates uses to track virus outbreaks and the company's progress in quickly
containing them. This application is used world-wide, tracks how quickly the
various regional entities within NAI respond to outbreaks, and even generates
real-time reports for adherence with service level agreements held with
enterprise customers. All checklist maintenance, weighting for scoring
purposes, outbreak incident creation, checklist item check-off, and reporting
is done through the browser, and ProfileStore-based personalization ensures
that only those users with proper authority are able to perform functions in
their areas of responsibility.
And for the corporate showroom, pragmatx even developed a
Command Center Flash front end that is tied to the same database used for data
entry and reporting.

Reconciling purchase orders and invoices between customers and software
publishers required a large desk, stacks of paper, and two thick-client desktop
applications that Accounts Payable personnel had to switch back and forth
between. pragmatx entered with a portal framework it had developed and in
a matter of days had replaced the cumbersome process with a portalized view
into three separate enterprise databases.
Now A/R personnel have everything they need in one browser -
all purchase orders, all customer orders, and shipping documents. Researching
and reconciling invoices for payment is now much more efficient, enabling
Software Spectrum to service all their customers better.

When Simmons Corporation decided to add fuel management services to their fuel

personalized portal interface for their customers and business partners.
We wrote an extranet portal to interface seamlessly with their
web-based data entry applications and added a security layer to ensure the
privacy of each of their customers' data. So that Simmons could offer this
service to business partners transparently, we enabled the site to adopt the
branding appropriate to the business partner and provided the web-based
administrative capability to add new partners without changing a line of code.
