Integrated Security Management Solutions (ISM), a provider of security solutions for the retail and logistics industries, has contracted Tiscali World Online to develop and host its Web site using "Website in a Box", the ISP`s tailored solution for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) seeking to establish a Web presence.
ISM Solutions offers strong retail security management expertise combined with high-level commercial and domestic security knowledge. Its core services include recruitment and placement of loss control and security personnel; managing of covert services, surveillance cameras and agents; investigation services; and consulting and advisory services.
The company required a Web site to enable it to communicate more effectively with its clients, attract new customers and establish an Internet presence for its brand. Stiaan Viljoen, ISM Solutions MD, says the new Web site has enabled the company to build better relationships with its customers and to keep them updated on its service offering.
"As an entrepreneur, it was essential for me to have my company`s Web site developed and hosted in an established and reliable environment," says Viljoen. "Potential clients are referred to the ISM Web site prior to meeting with us so that they have access to information on our service offering. "With the credibility of the company at stake, I chose to go with Tiscali World Online because it is one of the largest ISPs in the country, has an excellent track record and was able to offer me the services and functionality that my business requires at an excellent rate."
Candice Gibson, Business Services marketing manager at Tiscali World Online, says the ISP has specialised in a range of Web development solutions for all types of clients. "Whether it`s at entry-level for a company`s first Web site, or a more complex e-commerce-enabled Web presence, we provide Web sites that are functional and aesthetically pleasing. Because we develop our sites with business growth in mind, our projects are able to scale in accordance with our clients` needs."
With an emphasis on affordability, Website in a Box offers customers a Web site that is customised and tailored to suit their needs, and is maintained, regularly updated, and hosted by Tiscali World Online. The solution was developed by TailoredWebs.com, a local provider of Web site solutions. "Website in a Box is a quick and easy solution that gives the customer all the choice but ensures that the work gets done for them. No experience or technology knowledge is required," says Gibson. "It enables companies like ISM Solutions to have a presence on the Internet without having to worry about additional start-up and running costs."
Tiscali World Online`s Web site development and hosting services provide ISM Solutions with a strong Web presence in a secure environment for its site, backed by guaranteed speed and reliability.
Says Gibson. "It is encouraging to see how our clients` businesses have grown as a result of their online presence. They are seeing real value being added to their business processes and, in turn, to their bottom line. This kind of technology offering is changing the way small and medium enterprises do business."
