The concise client list:

Challenge – How do we create a compelling way for people to shop together?
When StyleHive was conceived, social networking and web 2.0 were emerging terms with early-stage platforms like Delicious and Digg as the only analogs. Stylehive wanted to create a social network for collaborative shopping that would handle high-volumes of traffic and large data volumes commensurate with social media applications. Moreover, this had to be done within a start-up timeframe and budget.

Solution – Create a social network where people share shopping discoveries with each other
In partnership with Tacit Knowledge, Stylehive created a social network that was able to derive analytics from large volumes of media using an asynchronous design to preserve the performance of the end-user experience. Using 100% open-source and an initial 50k investment in hardware, the solution was able to support near-exponential, monthly growth in visits and registrations.

Challenge – What is the future of television on the internet?
At the time, how to handle the proliferation of tons of online video was the debate of the day. Should it be syndicated? How much ownership did major networks desire/require? Channels.com sought to answer these questions by betting the customer would be center-stage, and set out to create an experience where online video was aggregated and managed regardless of source.

Solution – Build a TiVo for the web
In partnership with Tacit Knowledge, Channels.com created a web-based TiVo for online video. Customers select channels of content or just individual shows from any source on the web. This content is viewed within a centralized experience. Syndicators maintain control of their content and advertising model. Channels.com is currently on a hockey-stick growth trajectory with 15% growth in unique visits per day. Thankfully, the system has been designed to scale at every tier.

Challenge – How do you create an after-market for top-designers online?
Bluefly is an online pure-play with a unique value proposition ideal for a recessionary period. Fashions from top-designers are offered after the initial season the products are released. This retail model presents unique e-commerce challenges like very-limited inventories and a frequently changing catalog of available products.

Solution – Build an advanced catalog and inventory management system
In partnership with Tacit Knowledge, Bluefly brought industry-best technologies together like ATG and Endeca. They tightly-integrated a complex product inventory management solution that enables a positive customer experience despite fashions flying off the shelves. The result is less of an Elmo-driven free-for-all, and more great finds on deals from the comfort of your armchair.

Challenge – How do you process loans without an army of typists?
The monks of Europe famously copied Bibles a page at a time before the Gutenberg printing press arrived. Despite an online mortgage application system, behind the curtain were the relics of a paper-driven past. Underwriters would print a loan application from one system, and manually key the data into another.

Solution – Get systems talking to one another
In partnership with Tacit Knowledge, Chase created a green solution that transmits data electronically from one system to the other. Underwriters can review the loans for consistency issues, but the transfer is accomplished with the push of a button. The result is a loan process that is faster, cheaper, and greener than the alternative. Not to mention underwriters that can focus on working with their customers instead of data entry.
