Description

Each year The Princeton Review surveys tens of thousands of students and thousands of colleges, business schools, law schools, and medical schools for it's best-selling school guide series. Unfortunately, the system they used for creating and delivering these surveys online made revising these surveys cumbersome since it required programmer time. Nodots recommended switching from their in-house system to a third-party solution offered by Web Surveyor (now Vovici). The solution involved extensive customization of the survey delivery engine (so customized that Vovici's CTO couldn’t believe it was his product!), integration with existing user management systems, and customized data reporting. The end result was a system that made it possible for non-technical users to easily modify surveys and streamlined the process of exporting the data into a format that could be used for publishing the books.

Description

Nodots was approached by a web development shop (we’re contractually obligated not to say which one) to build an application that would make it easier and faster to deploy ecommerce websites. To do this, we built a highly flexible Content Management System (CMS) and Web Services API using Ruby on Rails. The result was a system that not only allowed their clients to easy manage all aspects of their websites, but also a dramatically shorter development process.
