ISITE Design’s Flash Portfolio

ISITE was engaged by Jive Software to introduce the exciting features and benefits of their new software release. In support of this, ISITE launched a product video and Flash demos targeted at their core service areas (Marketing & Sales, Human Resources, Support and Research & Development).

We immersed ourselves in the Jive brand, software and culture to deliver stunning Flash demos that are not only informative, but empower their sales team to introduce the ‘aha moments’ of their product to customers more quickly. Calls-to-action at the end of each demo and the video drive visitors deeper into their site, and serve as a lead generation tool. The entire experience is tagged with analytics to track how visitors are interacting with the piece.

As a provider of rich internet media, Maven Networks sought to create a new website to combat increased competition. ISITE Design partnered with Hill Holiday to deliver a new brand and comprehensive site that balances beautiful design with engaging functionality. For the new site, ISITE created a high impact Flash experience to support the global launch of Maven’s online video platform. The new online experience provides their sales and marketing team with the site tool they need to succeed in their highly competitive space.

ISITE Design began our partnership with Siemens in 1999 with the rapid delivery of a four month usability and consulting opportunity which saw ISITE Design team members travel to Munich, Germany, Orlando, Florida, and San Jose, California. Members of the Siemens team also visited our Portland headquarters working side by side with our development team on the launch. Since that initial engagement, we have worked with Siemens AG to deliver a number of projects including the HiPath Product Launch Microsite and GATU Microsite.

OpenStage
OpenStage is a rapid prototype development tool. It makes building a working shell in Flash an easier and less time consuming effort. On the playback side, the Flash movie runs in a highly optimized manner as all multimedia elements (including video) are loaded only when needed, and all text elements are externalized as well. This externalization makes updates and changes relatively simple. Because the paradigm in OpenStage is based on HTML, analytics and site indexing are integrated into the framework and are provided without extra charge to the client. OpenStage allows developers to spend less time writing code and spend more time on interactive features.

HiPath Product Launch Microsite
The goal for the project was to bring Siemens executives to their clients without a plane ticket. ISITE Design provided Siemens AG marketing with a sneak preview into a new Flash platform which was in BETA at the time. Siemens was impressed and chose ISITE Design to produce the eye catching marketing piece for the HiPath telephone system. The solution streams audio, video, multilingual closed captioning, and animated case studies via a single Flash interface. The launch of the Siemens HiPath piece delivered a significant increase in leads as well as a thrilled client base.

GATU Microsite
We worked with Siemens AG's Enterprise Division to develop an eye catching campaign for its venture into software that shattered previous notions of Siemens Enterprise as a hardware only division. A primary goal was to build market demand for the new software entry into the VoIP market.

ISITE Design worked with the Siemens AG Marketing Department to conceive GATU, a mascot which was eventually distributed through print, online, and collectible bobble head channels. GATU was a substantial departure from the traditional Siemens Brand Guidelines we envision for Siemens Online. ISITE Design created a game which allowed business users to quantify the ROI of implementing OpenScape. Since its release, the end product has been used in a variety of mediums, ranging from corporate presentations to marketing collateral.

Originally planned as a physical museum in Grand Ronde, Ore, the Tribes took the unique approach of creating a virtual museum to reach a wider audience and better connect with their tribal members, over half of which are located outside of the state of Oregon.

The featured collections were in part recovered through the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 and a grant from the Smithsonian which allowed Grand Ronde’s cultural resources staff to visit museums as far away as London to retain lost cultural artifacts.

Primal Quest brings together over 75 adventure racing teams to compete over a 400+ mile course. The fastest teams complete the grueling course in under a week, while the last teams arrive 4 to 5 days later. Each year, CBS Sports broadcasts a recap of the event which draws more than one million viewers and is sponsored by global brands such as Subaru, Nissan and Citgo.

Primal Quest chose ISITE Design to build the first real time, web based adventure race coverage system. The goal was a highly intuitive site supported by a combination of real-time race data and unique media features to allow visitors to experience disciplines such as white water rafting, rappelling and spelunking from the comfort of their homes.

Primal Quest asked ISITE Design to update their sponsor marketing piece in 2004 with a historical view of the last two years of racing and a promotional look forward to the fall race. ISITE Design produced a multimedia experience combining photos, audio and guided demonstration of the web site.

The result: Primal Quest successfully used the marketing CD to schedule sponsorship meetings with a number of prominent brands and market the television inventory for the 2004 CBS broadcast.

A-dec engaged ISITE Design to design and develop a detailed service procedural training program for their Dental Equipment. The Flash-based training modules feature animated close-ups, voice-over narration and video. A control pad is emulated in Flash to exactly mimic the real control of operating a dental chair.

Xerox did not just want to attract eyeballs to the launch of their new line of color printers. The project goal was to educate visitors on the Phaser technology and reward them with a $50 rebate once they completed the short series of educational slides. The Flash piece allows for rapid incorporation of new printers.

Shutterfly is one of the leading online photo sharing and printing websites. Their vision is to make the world a better place by helping people share life's joy. We have worked with them over the past year, helping them architect and deliver their products and services via Flash online. Recently, they announced their Studio product which allows their customers to manage photos and edit locally on their own desktop. We created a short animated demo that introduces and drives download of the new product.

We recently continued our long relationship with WebTrends by creating online Flash presentations in support of the next generation of their flagship product line. The presentations, which were created using Adobe Breeze, have been incredibly successful for WebTrends at acquiring numerous sales leads, since it was first used two years ago based on ISITE Design's recommendation.

Breeze presentations can be quickly constructed and deployed on websites and excel at presenting content in an engaging, dynamic manner. WebTrends has focused its use of Breeze as a sales tool by demonstrating thought and technology leadership through their Take 10 and Product Tours series.

Like many auto dealers, the Ron Tonkin Family of Dealerships struggled with how to best-utilize the Internet. The Tonkin's had tried several options with very limited success.

ISITE Design was chosen to help, and ultimately developed a site built on a custom lead management system that directly resulted in seven figures of increased revenue.

An additional component was an interactive Flash microsite branded "Tonkin Town" that included several individual elements such as the "Road Rage" game.

The DPIC Small Firm Flash, Indem-Nitty Gritty, project is an interactive tutorial targeting DPIC-insured architecture and engineering firms. The piece helped educate those firms about indemnity issues arising from contract negotiations with building owners/developers in a consultancy relationship. A link to the piece was also distributed to DPIC agents for use on their sites as a marketing tool for their client insured's.

The following are some additional Flash animation work we have completed for other clients.
