We can host a site on one of our servers, or one of yours that is co-located at our server farm. In addition, we provide email account hosting, and administrative services such as site registration, domain setup, and FTP user account management.

Online Product Configurators
A configurator streamlines a complex sales process by using one or more databases to automatically identify and price the products and/or services that required for a given project.

Typically, configurators also include automatic cost estimates, formatted sales proposals, exported files for modification, and the ability to save quotes for reference in reordering. Configurators may also be expanded to include calculators for project analysis such as estimated Return On Investment (ROI) and Total Cost of Ownership.

Interactive Product Catalogs
An interactive product catalog helps customers select the most appropriate item from a product line, or from among several product lines. A catalog typically generates a cost estimate and formatted sales proposal, which may be downloaded or delivered via email. Such applications may also facilitate provide customers with a quick needs assessment and interactive sales support.

Ecommerce Engines
An ecommerce engine allows clients to sell and distribute products on the Web. An ecommerce engine typically includes a product listing, shopping cart, and a secure checkout with online transaction processing.

More advanced projects may also include auto generated packing slips, order filter/forwarding for multi-point distribution, and integration with shipping software and customer service databases.

ELearning Applications
Our eLearning applications give customers the ability to deliver full-scale online training programs that include course registration, content delivery, testing and student achievement tracking, and class reporting.

Applications may include all features, or specific features may be integrated with current systems to help an organization migrate its training to the online environment.

Online Collaboration Tools
Collaboration tools allow clients to set up a private workspace to exchange materials, econference, and save information for future use.

Such tools may also be combined with an ecommerce engine, sales configurator or interactive catalog to create private purchasing portals or dealer nets to streamline purchasing processes and facilitate communications.

Content Management Utilities
A content management tool gives clients the ability to change a web site's content on a regular basis without relying on a programming specialist to make the modifications. Such a tool can save significant time and money on an ongoing basis, and allows clients to control when changes are made, how they are formatted, and when the material is posted live.

List Servers
Lanex provides a list server tool that allows customers to efficiently conduct email mailings to lists that have outgrown client-based email programs.

Our application offers the ability to automatically subscribe users, manage multiple lists, conduct mailings, measure response, and manage users. In addition, the program offers browser-based tools for administration, making it accessible via any Web connection while maintaining security through password protection (and other measures).

A web interface is an application that allows your web site to communicate with a program that is offline. At Lanex, we have made something of a specialty in tying together these legacy systems (i.e. programs that your business is using already) with the Internet.

We've built web interfaces for offline product databases, customer service packages, logistics applications, and more-allowing clients to keep using their current applications while capitalizing on the power of the Internet.
