Website with a Powerful Content Management System (CMS)
An office of a major federal agency required a multi-faceted public website for informing the public on dietary supplements, and needed the ability to update content in real-time. The agency turned to NetLink Resource Group to develop a custom content management system for meeting this objective. It also tapped into NetLink’s expertise for its fact sheet products and related pages that implemented a “glossary” module allowing the user to define words or phrases (“terms”) in a...
Global Gift Card E-Commerce Application
NetLink Resource Group was initially approached by Marriott International to fully re-design its gift card site for the U.S. market, to improve on the original site’s lackluster functionality and, most importantly, increase revenue. NetLink provided a completely re-built, custom architecture, creating a dynamic, fully e-commerce-enabled site that offers the ability to purchase multiple cards sent to multiple addresses, as well as is integrated into the client’s credit card system, its card...
Development of Secure Registration and Payment Solution
NetLink developed a secure registration solution for a federal agency, which is an easy-to-use web application allowing agency peer reviewers to register their banking, address, and other required information in order to receive payments from the agency. Prior to developing this system, the agency relied on an open-to-the-public system for up-to-date payment information for its peer reviewers. This system made peer reviewers potentially vulnerable to receiving unsolicited commercial email...
Comprehensive Internal, Web-Based Workflow Automation Tool
NetLink Resource Group developed a highly comprehensive, web-based internal workflow automation tool for gathering and managing individual client hotel offers to be showcased at Marriott International's main website. Marriott required a system that was fail-safe in allowing the request and approval of promotional offers that were hotel-specific – a process that was previously managed through cumbersome Excel documents submitted via e-mail. The workflow automation tool provided for...
Complex Financial Management Application
NetLink Resource Group was asked to complete a complex financial management application for a federal agency, since the client-server-based project had stalled under the guidance of previous development teams. The system administers critical and highly detailed royalty processes, including royalty income calculations, inventor contact information, royalty distribution percentages and amounts, as well as other royalty process actions performed by this office within the federal agency. In...
Online Benefits Enrollment and Maintenance Website
NetLink Resource Group developed an online benefits enrollment and maintenance website for iPower (now called Employee Navigator) where customers can manage all of their HR needs in one location, eliminating the typically cumbersome amount of paperwork, through iPower’s direct interaction with benefits carriers. The application uses a custom interface that converts user-entered data into a HIPAA 834 file format for transmission via FTP to carriers. iPower was one of the first websites to...
Web-Based Payment System for Conference Reviewers
NetLink Resource Group developed a web-based payment and reporting system for a federal agency needing to track independent contractor compensation when they review conferences sponsored by recipients of agency grants. The application intuitively allows for the importing of formatted files from an external system for creating conference records. The application also tracks and reports on special situations including failed payments, as well as handles IRS Form 1099 reporting. The system is...
Development of Centralized Tool for Managing Travel Wholesalers
NetLink developed a centralized tool for Marriott International to manage outside wholesalers (i.e. large travel agencies that sell wholesale packages to corporations and smaller travel agencies) that need to request membership to the program and access preferred pricing for all of Marriott's worldwide hotel properties. The tool automates membership requests and allows for the centralized management of hotel rates and related information, like transportation choices and local amenities.
Major Federal Agency Develops Web Application for Peer Reviewers to Register for Payment
A major government agency that conducts and supports medical research relied on a legacy system for up-to-date payment information for its peer reviewers. The challenge with the legacy system was that it left peer reviewers vulnerable to receiving unwanted solicitations. To address this issue, the client required a secure, private application.
