Grapevine Ltd proposes web solutions
Launched four years ago, Grapevine Ltd, member of IBL Group, specialises in web sites creation. Employing some seven persons, the company helps his clients to formulate an on-line strategy that best integrates easy, fast and reliable technology, delivering user-friendly web pages with clean and neat graphics with straight-to-the point marketing messages.
According to the Manager, Mr. Patrice Ferrière, the experience of Grapevine in navigability and mobility has contributed to its success. As the web is becoming the most popular and profitable way of advertising, Mr. Ferrière believes that it is very important that a business has a home on the web. This is where Grapevine has a role to play.
With a team coming from a background in information technology, communication and design, the company does not only collaborate but is also involved in elaborating strategies to communicate the right message to audience. In order to be able to deliver quality services to its clients, Grapevine Ltd works with different partners: Sun Cobalt, Symantec, Redhat, Lotus, Compaq.
For example, Sun Cobalt servers have been chosen for their proven performances and their intuitive, easy-to-use administration interface. Whereas Symantec is the leader of Antivirus and Content filtering solutions for web/mail hosts. Among the clients of Grapevine: Freeport Operations, Cargo Handling Corporation, Mauritian Eagle Company Limited, Ireland Blyth Limited Transport Services, National Productivity and Competitiveness Council, Scomat, AVIS Car Rental Mauritius, etc.
Designing award winning sites is one of Grapevine's main goal. In this context, it should be noted that the IBL website won the Web d'Or 2002 in the Enterprises Category. This award for the best local and regional corporate website confirms the professionalism of the services offered by the Information Technology Team in Web designing, Mr. Ferrière told Business Magazine.
Apart from providing cost-effective fully database driven solutions, on any platform, within a very competitive timescale, Grapevine's servers also host all the up-to-date development technologies. Moreover, the company can provide any customised solution to any client in any given time constraint.
Furthermore, Grapevine give professional co-hosted or fully managed services in its secure Port-Louis data centre. Server co-location allows the client to take complete control over his customers' online experience and the ability to implement whatever application needed to drive an online business. Thus, the web site could be a file store, an online shop or a database; however the use of this space is costly and the benefits of co-locating the server are clear.
As regards search engine optimisation, Grapevine not only has complete mastery of its fundamentals but it is credited with pioneering the practice of search engine positioning. In addition, Grapevine designs, builds and supports information systems and networks. Concerning this aspect, it should be pointed out that the company holds strong alliances with different partners like RedHat, IBM, SUN, Cisco, etc.
