Our vision for the range of web-based software applications that our company develops, such as ...

• F2CRM - a CRM application enabling full control over contact information captured and stored from one or more websites (from the various systems described here), including storage of event (Sellout) and coursework (Classroom) data captured via SignUp registrations;
  
  
• F2SignUp - membership management and F2CRM 'front-end' registration process including product and service configuration settings (simple shopping cart) with group management;
  
  
• Sweeper - a multi-site job management and reporting system, including Joomla! back-end client interface;
  
  
• Shout Out - a multi-site e-marketing 'engine' including email newsletter, promotions and survey management, data analysis, web forms processing (via the Joomla! CMS front-end) custom workflow/approval scenarios as well as a triggered events mechanism allowing the automatic assembly and publication/processing of content requests based on stored/captured user profiles;
  
  
• F2CMS - multi-site content management, including a Flash content management and presentation framework, for the Joomla! CMS;
  
  
• F2PDF - template-based PDF assembly and production management, extending the outstanding PDF generation framework from the good folk at PDFlib, with custom user profiles, permissioned-based workflows and approval scenarios;
  
  
• Sellout - a multi-site (via the Joomla! CMS front-end) event management and booking system;
  
  
• Classroom - a multi-site (via the Joomla! CMS front-end) coursework, e-learning and assessment system;
  
  
• F2 PayStation - a secure payment gateway for credit card processing through all F2 Platfform applications and Joomla! extensions;

... is to ultimately develop them in such a way as to enable full integration with a number of content management systems including our preferred CMS, Joomla!.

Instead of creating one, super web application including all of the functionality described above, we have decided to instead keep the systems separate and modular so that each system can be implemented independently and extended as needed to support a variety of content delivery and web services requirements; thereby providing for true, multi-site scalability.

We call our web systems vision 'Platfform'. For more information regarding our philosophy on the use of open-source technologies and their integration with proprietary 'F2' applications, please click here.
