Case Studies

AIIA.biz

The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) is the Australian technology industry's peak body, with member companies both small and large across the information sector. With the idea of offering their members low-cost access to the services of a range of experts across various industries, the AIIA approached GeekIT to develop an online application to provide a platform through which experts and members could engage. The result is AIIA.biz, an online knowledge bank and managed portal that guides users step-by-step through the process of obtaining low-cost expert services – from the creation of complex legal contracts, to commercial services and insurance.

APSMA

The Asia-Pacific Professional Service Marketing Association (APSMA) is the leading association for marketing and business development professionals, with more than 1600 individual members and 270 firms taking advantage of the association’s services. When APSMA’s plans to expand their services were frustrated by an inflexible website, they turned to GeekIT for help. Using cognitive behavioural modeling and an agile development methodology, GeekIT created a new online application that has become fundamental to APSMA’s operations – delivering a platform of vastly improved features and services and boosting membership as a result.

Teach For Australia

Teach for Australia is a new and innovative organisation combating educational disadvantage through a program that places Australia’s brightest university graduates as teachers in disadvantaged schools. When Teach for Australia needed to create an online system for the collection of graduate applications, they turned to GeekIT for help. The result is teachforaustralia.org: a customised, CMS driven platform with an integrated application system which verifies graduates’ responses as it guides them through a series of questionnaires – improving the efficiency of the Teach for Australia’s selection processes while providing a flexible platform for the promotion of the organisation and its aims.

What's On Sale

What’s On Sale brings retailers and consumers together. Over 300 Australian retailers – including Myer, Retravision and David Jones – list sales, promotions and discounts through the site. When Pat Walsh, whatsonsale’s director, wanted to overhaul whatsonsale following a flawed initial implementation, he approached GeekIT Group for help. Embarking on a ground-up redesign that employed cognitive behavioural modeling and an agile development methodology, GeekIT re-engineered whatsonsale’s web platform in a change that has seen traffic double and month-by-month revenues jump 20 per cent.

Ego Pharmaceuticals

Ego Pharmaceuticals is Australia’s largest specialist skin care pharmaceuticals company, producing over one hundred skin and health care products across twelve brands and exporting to over thirty nations – from the United Arab Emirates to the UK, Mauritius and Taiwan. When Ego Pharmaceuticals decided to establish a new online presence, they turned to GeekIT Group for help. In addition to a revised network of corporate and brand web sites, the result has been an integrated, web-based sales, distribution and product system – a whole-of-business revolution in the way Ego presents, markets and distributes its products.
