Pole Position - F1 Merchandise website - Actinic powered

eCommerce Site

No two words epitomise Motor Sport as do the words ‘Pole Position’,

with almost every major form of the sport indulging in a battle for ‘Pole

Position’ as part of its race weekend.

With a flagship store in the heart of London’s Regent Streets the website

brief was to design and develop a site that really complimented their

retail presence whilst ultimately expanding their range of stock using the

unlimited shelf-space of the Internet.

Working with i-KOS

Pole Position already used Actinic software for its stock control which

made the recommendation for the web platform an easy one. One of the

technical challenges was to go beyond the rather limited standard

ecommerce integration options so that users did not have to leave the

site to complete their transaction.

The resulting website was designed and developed by i-KOS so that the

catalogue can be fully updated by the staff at head office without

compromising design.

One of the challenges facing any clothing and merchandising website is

to really engage the visitors and show off the details of the goods. For

this reason a really intuitive zoom (+/-) feature was included in the spec

which allows you to go see every stitch.

Client: Bayer Schering Pharma

Background

Bayer AG, based in Leverkusen, Germany, with 106,000 employees

worldwide and a yearly turnover of more than 32billion Euros across its

three main business areas - HealthCare, Material Science and

CropScience. Trading in the UK/Ireland region since 1871, when

Friedrich Bayer first sold his dyestuffs here it, the area has 1,450

employees and 11 operating companies. The company is associated with

some of the world’s biggest brands such as Alka Seltzer and Baby Bio,

and has over 10,000 products; which can be found in virtually every area

of human activity.

Bayer Schering Pharma AG is one of the World’s leading pharmaceutical

companies; specializing in the fields of gynecology and andrology,

diagnostic imaging, oncology and specialized therapeutics. It has been

actively engaged in research and development at the cutting edge of

science ever since the “Green Pharmacy” was founded by Ernst Schering

155 years ago, and today is still tackling the challenges posed by modern

medicine. The brand is the world market leader in hormonal

contraceptives for women - the best example being the birth-control pill,

which many women regard as synonymous with Schering. Their

products are used and trusted by over seven million women around the

world.

Due to the complex and bureaucratic nature of supplying drugs for the

global environment, Bayer apply a stringent and rigourous approval

process for all printed and online material; however the lengthy process

involved to do so frequently means that

emerging developments are not sufficiently catered for when distributing

this material. This is particularly a problem for internal training of sales

representatives; and for this reason Bayer Schering have a dedicated

Learning and Development team, employed forthe sole purpose of

training.

Working with i-KOS

Bayer quickly realised that an online application would be of enormous

benefit to their learning team. Covering such diverse medical areas as

Diagnostic Imaging, Oncology and Andrology, it was apparent that

training using traditional materials would prove to be unmanageable. i-

KOS were invited to tender for a comprehensive E-learning system, with

capacity for unlimited training modules, questions, imagery and user

interaction, for each of the respective business units; to be made

available for the Learning & development team to use and develop into

their learning schedules and seminars.

The application and the agency which provided had to exemplify the

ethos of a company with a significant global presence. After being

selected by Bayer Schering to build the application, i-KOS have

continued to develop additional areas of of the elearning modules and

have just completed their 6th year of work for Bayer.

Client: In Practice Systems Ltd

Background

INPS develops, deploys and supports the Vision clinical system, which is

used extensively within primary care settings and the wider healthcare

environment throughout the UK.

The number of practices using Vision continues to grow significantly

each year, and the system is now used in over 95% of UK primary care

trusts and health boards. Over one quarter of all Vision installations are

based on a centrally hosted, managed service deployment model.

INPS is part of a global organisation operating across 80 countries,

specialising in CRM systems, strategic data, and technologies and

services for the healthcare sector.

Working with i-KOS

INPS’ role within the healthcare sector is vital, providing crucial

information to healthcare practitioners on a daily basis; underpinning

the majority of IT structure in each practice. With such a large

infrastructure, the original website had developed with no dedicated

website strategy, and had grown to a size of unmanageable proportions.

The three distinct business areas had in turn set up and maintained

unique sites to cater for their own specific requirements. INPS sought a

partner who could create an amalgam of the three individual sites, cope

with significant traffic levels from users around the UK, and migrate all

existing data into the new design.

As specialists in Information Architecture, i-KOS were confident that

they could deliver a coherent structure for the site, to enable the end user

to find information in an expedient manner. As software practitioners,

INPS are particularly aware of complexities in undertaking large

projects, and have been forthcoming in their praise for i-KOS’ support

and communication.

Client: Mölnlycke

Background

Mölnlycke Health Care is one of the world’s leading providers of single-

use surgical and wound care products and services to the healthcare

sector. i-KOS have worked with several of their leading brands and

product managers for a whole host of multimedia and web based

applications.

Their flagship brand - Biogel is the world’s most advanced surgical gloves

(a multi-million € euro business). In 2008, working with the Biogel

international product team, i-KOS were given the brief to deliver a web-

based application whose

purpose was to allow the 300+ mobile work force access to a (multi-

lingual) competitor matrix and databank. The finished application allows

hundred of concurrent users to quickly and intuitively obtain very

detailed comparison data for every manufactured glove (100+). Such

information is vital and enables them to produce reports and build

strong cases for Biogel gloves to be the glove of choice in the dozens of

tenders that are won every week - around the world.

Working with i-KOS

The success and adoption of the aptly named ‘Biogel Matrix’ has paved

the way for a i-KOS to be commissioned to develop a desktop version in

2009. The specification has been agreed and timelines drawn; this

version can then be completely mobile, work off-line and when

connected to the internet automatically check and update specialisations

throughout the UK.

Client: Phoenix Fund Services

Background

Phoenix FS was established in 1998 to offer bespoke investment

administration services to the Investment Trust industry.

On the lead up to their 10th Anniversary Phoenix rapidly expanded to

meet demand and underwent a step-change opening both offshore and

hedge fund administration services for their European based investment

managers.

In 2008 the Phoenix board decided it was time they had a brand to

match their city presence. The pre-qualification stage left i-KOS and four

other agencies with the opportunity to pitch for the branding concept

task.

Working with i-KOS

Such was the enthusiasm generated by this entire process that in October

2008 Phoenix held a special event at the Cabinet War Rooms to herald

the launch of their new brand and UK service offering.

i-KOS have subsequently been retained to redevelop the corporate

website, branding guidelines and are still regularly called upon to

develop new templates, advertisements and other marketing material.

and truly showcased their expertise and portfolio.

Working with i-KOS

crucial to their success.

Consequently these were attributes which were sought in potential
