ZEFER
ZEFER
(www.zefer.com)
is a team of professionals who plan, design and develop intelligent
Internet solutions for the purpose of helping organizations translate
their strategic objectives into tangible value in the digital
world.
ZEFER
aims to be the recognized leader in professional strategic Internet
services and solutions by helping Fortune 1000, leading organizations
and high-growth clients understand the business of technology
and, in particular, the business of the Internet.
Intelligent
Internet solutions must be flexible and robust to suit the dynamic
nature of the Internet. Unlike the "Big Bang" implementation of
traditional systems design, Zefer uses a three-phased approach
to build solutions that are both modular and scalable.
Phase
One begins with a strategic study to diagnose your company's business,
functional, design and technical needs. We then help you prioritize
which components of your site to roll out first and produce detailed
blueprints to build the solution.
Phase
Two translates the blueprints into a working prototype with a
base level of functionality.
In
Phase Three, the prototype is scaled to a fully integrated solution,
which must pass a rigorous and comprehensive quality assurance
test.
ZEFER
is a team of rapidly growing team of professionals with backgrounds
in business, design, and technology. Together the ZEFER team offers
expertise and networks from institutions such as Harvard University,
MIT Media Lab, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), McKinsey
& Company, Anderson Consulting, Deloitte & Touche, Netscape,
Intuit, FTP Software, Arnell Group and Leo Burnett.
