I picked up a great article on PROXICOM in the May edition of "The Internet Computing" page 63. <<If we had to give out an award and call it, say...the intranet excellence award, PROXICOM would win hands down. This firm is a powerhouse in the building of entreprisewide, Internet based business solutions.In one of its most impressive endeavours, the agency helped General Motors retrofit its corporate intranet. In just three short months, PROXICOM made the formerly lackluster Intranet a popular resource for all of its 250,000 employees.The company also professes to be the first ever firm to build and launch a transactional site--in 1994. Resullts-oriented and methodical, PROXICOM measures its success and helps clients do the same by analyzing and calculating a return on investment for every business solution it implements.The agency markets its services as the Proxicom Process, which on the surface doesn't seem much different from what you'd expect to get elsewhere- First they conduct planning meetings (called "workout sessions") and then create a plan of action. However its clear that PROXICOM has dedicated the mental energy needed to make planning an internet initiative a turnkey approach. The company's commitment to executing tasks in a certain order probably indicates what to expect if you hire PROXICOM. The company has built some robust applications for corporations to implement as part of a turnkey business solution. For example, Ziff Davis, publisher of this magazine, usues PROXICOM's discussion group management product forum to power ZD University distance learning programs. The company focuses on vertical industries such as energy/oil, healthcare,financial and telecommunications.Its clients are straight out of fortune. If you need peripheral services such as hosting or strategic media buys, you'll have to look elsewhere.>> For those who do not know, PNLK works with PROXICOM. I'll let you all enjoy the beauty of this article as a confirmation of the good choices PNLK made to choose the best of the best to make the website. It also confirms our good choice to be shareholders of such a great company. Regards, Malko.
