WeAlumni

Situation
WDH was given a business idea. We were then asked to produce a prototype document and a technical specification. These documents formed the basis for development of a large-scale community website for the Fraternity and Alumni organizations of a growing number of universities. WDH then created an infrastructure which could scale to over a million users. In three months, the core system was running with multiple design themes, contact books, file sharing, photo albums, personals listings, announcements, group buying, and a hierarchical management structure. WeFusion.com's design, coding and functionality are focused on adding value to alumni users through a multi-tiered group-based framework of information and services. The WeFusion database currently has more than two million names, which are organized with a hierarchical grouping structure, enabling organizations to create multi-level sub-user groups, assign permissions and customize the interface at each level.

Results
Client company was purchased by Symposium. According to the Chris Thompson, Chief Technology Officer of Symposium: "With the acquisition of WeFusion, Symposium is purchasing a cutting edge technology platform upon which Symposium is building its future environment. The website is built on the Oracle Internet Platform, complemented by an assortment of third party solutions."
