CASE STUDIES
Over the years, LittleBulb Ideas have written many fully-customised internet applications, below are a few examples of the projects successfully completed.

Case Study 1: ThinkingSphere
ThinkingSphere is a company specialised in service innovation, team development, solution creation and scenario planning. Part of their service includes conducting of 360 Degrees Feedback exercises for their clients. These exercises are used as a tool to evaluate each staff of the company, see how they rate themselves and how their colleagues, superiors or clients rate them in vital aspects of the business.

Problem defined:
Traditionally, this exercise is done on site, and using hardcopies of the feedback form. The process was slow, forms get misplaced, some cases of illegible handwriting, etc. At the end of it, ThinkingSphere has to collect the data and key them in manually.

Solution:
LittleBulb Ideas created an online application based on the existing mode of operation. Everything works the same, but the entire exercise can be done online. Participants log in to complete their feedback, and the application automatically generates a summary report for each participant, with figures to see how they rate for each aspect, and also identify his strengths and weaknesses.

Benefits:

  • Participants can complete the feedback even from the comfort of their home online.
  • The application saves their entries so parcitipants do not need to complete the form in one sitting.
  • No more tedious data entry and manual creation of the summary report.
  • Fully automated system with loginID and password generation.
  • Allows ThinkingSphere to change the questions and type of answers expected.

Case Study 2: BlueChips Technology Pte Ltd
BlueChips Technology is an electronics design solutions company, providing EDA solutions and silicon design solutions. The purpose of their web site was to showcase their products and services. The electronics industry is a fast paced one, with changes and improvements happening everyday, a web site that is just as dynamic is needed to keep the information relevant.

Problem defined:
With changes taking place so fast, updates to the site is extremely frequent. With dozens of products and services to update, and hesitant to employ an additional staff just to take care of the web site, an application was needed to make updating as simple and fast as possible.

Solution:
LittleBulb Ideas customised the BulbSmartpages to meet the BlueChips Technology's needs, delivering a content management system capable of managing their products and services, related pdfs and images, as well as job openings and press releases. With a simple and user-friendly interface, almost anyone can get the updates done in minutes, without any knowledge of web development.

The application also tracks the users who download pdf brochures from the web, and for more secured brochures, an authentic email is needed, with the brochure sent to that registered email address.

Benefits:

  • User-friendly interface that's simple to use, with minimal learning curve.
  • Cut down on the need to hire a new staff, or send an existing staff to for training in web development.
  • The site is always up-to-date.
  • Able to keep track of which brochures are downloaded and who downloaded them.
  • Easily add new products and services, without needing to manually create the new pages.
  • Don't work to put a web site up. Make the web site work to bring in customers.
