Sun Microsystems
Sun ONE Portal
Sun Microsystems is the leading provider of industrial-strength hardware, software, and services that power the Internet. Sun Microsystems' success is based on a single vision, "The Network Is The ComputerT" and Sun's latest innovation, the "Sun Open Net Environment (Sun ONE)," is Sun's standards-based software vision, architecture, platform, and expertise for building and deploying Services on Demand.
Client Opportunity
- To gain a first-mover advantage in the market, the Sun ONE marketing team elected to quickly build a robust community web portal to feed the community of Sun ONE software developers. The site needed to "...aggregate content and tools to help customers succeed, to help Sun build a better relationship with Sun ONE customers, and to create a forum and provide an environment where Sun One customers can build better relationships among themselves."
- As with all technology solutions time to market a was critical success factor for the project, with Sun targeting a launch date only 60 days from the project start date.
Niteo's Solution
- Niteo immediately launched a focus user centered design review, creating a site design that enhanced user access to tools.
- Niteo worked closely with Sun to implement a single sign-on architecture, allowing user access to disparate Sun systems for seamless review of a technical knowledge base and support tools.
- Niteo applied its Rapid Portal Prototyping approach to iPlanet technologies to produce the first prototype in 3 weeks.
Client Result
- Project completed on time and within the 60 day launch window.
- The new site improved site traffic and overall user acceptance.
- The new site is central and credited with the success of the Sun ONE launch and its rapid market adoption.
