Case Study : Journalistic Inc. Subscription Management
Journalistic Inc. is a trade magazine publisher based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Subscription information is the life blood of trade magazines because that is how they represent themselves to advertisers. Within 6 weeks, I had successfully moved the subscription information for 5 magazines to a web server with an easy-to-navigate web interface. Having this information online allowed Journalistic to link new subscription services directly into their web site and allowed them to track subscriptions in a much more detailed way. Subscription maintenance was also moved into a web interface so that subscribers could change their information online. All of this reduced the paperwork load and improved the quality of information provided to advertisers, a direct impact on their bottom line.
Case Study : IPVbox.com online psychometric testing system
Goos Career Consultancy performs a wide variety of psychometric testing (tests that measure intelligence and personality). Traditionally, these tests were delivered in a paper and pencil format requiring a test administrator, office space, and a time for manually scoring the results. While some companies are offering psychometric testing on the internet, none of them offered the kind of detailed reporting required by GCC, the ability to perform Competency Management, 360 Degree reviews, Statistical profiling, and normalization in a complete package. Goos Career Consultancy worked with Oakbox Productions to produce a complete online system that handles a wide variety of testing formats, company-specific templating, client separation, and multiple language support. By way of comparison, a large psychological firm in the Netherlands contracted 3 internal programmers at a cost of ~400,000 Euros to put 4 instruments online. Oakbox Productions successfully implemented 65 tests for roughly 1/4th that cost in the same time frame.
Both of these case studies highlight the main purpose of Oakbox Productions. Creating web applications that fit your needs perfectly where off-the-shelf solutions cannot do what you are looking for.

That is why we take time to learn your situation before advising you on the best way to proceed.
