F2 is finalising development on a web systems ‘framework’ that could revolutionise the delivery of your organisation’s marketing and reporting information, as well as reduce data entry time by enabling you to share and exchange content in multiple formats between multiple systems; i.e. website to print-ready PDF to email newsletter, using a ‘write once, use anywhere’ philosophy.

We are very pleased to have been appointed to a diverse range of projects over recent weeks.

Once again the design team at F2 were called upon to solve an unusual design problem.

Community West have recently implemented the F2 Sellout web-based event management system and Joomla! content management system.

Community West needed an event management solution that enabled them to manage a wide range of training courses offered by over 300 of their state government-aligned agencies and organisations. The solution that F2 have offered includes the F2 Sellout event management system, with custom Joomla CMS integration to enable automated logins and registrations between both systems, and customised reporting allowing Community West to report on the provision of training throughout central and regional WA. A login into the restricted member access area allows Community West associates and members to view all upcoming courses via both list and calendar views, register one or multiple people for a course and even allowing registrants to cancel their attendance with automated notifications being flagged and e-mailed through to the event co-ordinatos.

This effectively provides the first round of updates for Community West within the initial scope, however additional integration planned for the future includes exense tracking and custom automated booking and approval response scenarios.

Perth-based design and marketing company, Glide Strategic, have recently implemented the Sweeper job management system developed by F2.

Glide Strategic are a full-service design and marketing company, staffed by a group of highly skilled professionals, delivering a comprehensive, integrated range of services developed in-house around strong creative and strategy. Glide Strategic required a work-flow and job management solution that complemented their existing business processes and was customisable in relation to job types, job specifications and pricing.

Principal Michael Woodhouse comments "Sweeper is now an integral component of our work flow and job tracking process, and something we realise that our agency should've had years ago and now couldn't live without. One of the best modules is the Work In Progress reporting system that allows us to schedule work efficiently, including production, supply and booking deadlines that can be configured depending on what type of project or submission is required by the client. The reports are extensive and simple". "One of the key decisions in proceeding with the Sweeper system was the ability of Foote Francis to work with us to customise the application to suit our needs. This was essential and we are very happy with the result."

Sweeper includes a client-access area where your clients may log in to view artwork, print work or documents in draft format, and allows them to add comments and to confirm go-aheads. SMS integration to the client area as well as other key areas within the Sweeper system provide for effective and instant communications capabilties. Clients may even use the SMS system themselves, entering contacts and templates for fast messaging.

Future enhancements to the Sweeper job management system include Shout Out integration for email and SMS marketing campaign management, as well as a Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) utility in the client access area to allow your clients to manage their web site SEO requirements.

South Terrace Urology (STU) in Adelaide, South Australia, have recently implemented and are now using F2SMS as an instant and secure messaging solution for their patient and practice notification requirements.

Through our South Australian agents, Nexview Systems, STU, have implemented the F2SMS system for fast, secure and efficient messaging to their patients through a web-based administration console that provides levels of access to staff as well as integration with their practice management software solution, VIP, from Houston Medical.

Custom modications implemented at STU's request mean that STU have been able to integrate their patient management system with the F2SMS gateway, allowing a unique interface for the tracking of all messages sent and replies received, as well as reply to email tracking system. Additional modifications include the ability to specify hours of access for their staff as well as custom templates for fast messaging integrated both within the VIP practice management system and F2's F2SMS web interface. The benefit here is STU are able to send instantly from the patient's demographic screen in their patient management system, including other information brought into the message via an autotext macro service, as well as the ability track their messages sent.

Practice Manager at STU, Corrine Fiebiger, says "the customised development provided by NVS and F2 has provided us with an efficient patient contact management system that enhances our existing patient contact management procedures".
