Relephant Partners
We strive for long term relationships and partnerships. E-commerce, vertical search, CMS platforms, mobile services and online games are the backbone of our services. Our clients business is central and we advise the optimal solution based on the client's specific needs.
We make use of the best software tools and techniques. We look for the best solution based on the specific wishes and requirements and advise as such. Initially we have no preference for which solution should be used. We do not invent unnecessary solutions ourselves that have long been available. In-house built search and commerce solutions are all too readily used in the market. These come a long way but stop where standard solutions begin. We prefer to pay for licenses (or use open source like Solr) and allow people to do what they do best. At the end of the day it works out cheaper and more flexible. Of course, the client can not avoid customized solutions, but only where this best serves the business model.
We choose our partners based on their expertise and their added value to our clients. We are partners of leading search providers such as the American Endeca and the Dutch Fred Hopper. Furthermore we do projects using Solr. When it comes to CMS and Commerce we make use of Episerver and Sitecore.
When developing complex sites we prefer to work with Microsoft .Net technology (C# in combination with Microsoft SQL server), mainly due to the integrated environment, allowing programmers to be more productive. We are glad to be Microsoft Gold Web Development partner. However, we also have extensive experience in open source development (PHP in combination with MySQL).
