8 months sub-contract: multiple projects, software sales
Computer hardware firm Prime Computer and software developer Disc International wanted to provide customers with an attractive, flexible user interface for their computer hardware suite of Viewbase interactive products.
The Communication Studio partnered with the two firms to provide a range of services that fit well with their business needs.
Graphic Design
We designed the slides at right for Prime's corporate direct marketing presentations and marketing materials (shown at right).
Product Licensing of Productivity Tools
In 1986 Prime purchased multiple licenses for our TCS Textup Context Management System to be integrated as the front-end design utility for their Viewbase hosting systems. We provided corporate training, custom clip art and page templates to Prime personnel.
Site Design
Our strong skills in interactive architecture and the customer experience helped Disc International and Prime Computer to sell their hardware and software. Over the course of 2 years our symbiotic relationship with the two firms resulted in a number of interesting projects for The Communication Studio:
- Herman Hospital client outreach (Textup)
- Indiana University campus info system
- Citibank "CitiVision" staff services (Textup)
We also licensed our TCS software productivity tools to Herman Hospital and Citibank. Note: The pages displayed here were designed using the limited 16-color palette then standard for most PC's.
Our cooperation with Disc International and Prime was our first major ongoing business relationship.
