ComnetSolutions is offering a competitive , 8 to 16 week internship, providing deep exposure to interactive design and multimedia, internet  marketing and web solutions development. During the internship you will perform research, analysis, design / development work and writing articles for the company. On top of that, engage in hands-on experience in the practical and deadline-oriented world of the web!

At the end of the 12 weeks you will be able to include the following in your resume – just to name a few:

• Completed an intensive intenet marketing internship to evaluate new and emerging trends in advertising, marketing and public relations
• Wrote weekly entries for the company’s blog and reported on industry news, emerging technologies and reviewed websites during pre-launch phase
• Prepared news clippings and articles for ComnetSolutions and its clients
• Worked on design and development projects and engaged in various segments of a project life cycle 

The industry we work in, is opening new doors and pushing the boundaries of what is possible, not only in marketing and advertising, but also in business automation and web implementations.  Which is why this is no ordinary internship. You will not be stuck in a cubicle, highlighting documents, entering data and making photocopies for 8 hours. You will not be working with people who think that you will gain invaluable knowledge and experience just by standing near them. You will, however, be expected to motivate yourself every day to learn and explore, you will be asked for your opinion and it will be heard, and you will be trusted to represent the company. Most of the work you will do will be from your own computer, in your own time. You will also attend a fortnightly meeting  with the CEO.

To apply email your resume to internship@comnet.com.sg and tell us why you are interested. You do not have to be in Singapore to apply, but we do require that you be extremely committed to this work, that you are responsible, self-motivated, hard working and consistent, and that you have a passion or deep curiosity for interactive multimedia and web technologies.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Has it ever occured to you how successful companies with strong brands manage design?

I came across this article which is an in depth study and interview by Design Council UK with full case studies on companies such as Starbucks, Yahoo! and Sony – on the tools and processes which these companies have developed and adopted to support their creative departments.

Take the time to visit http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/en/About-Design/managingdesign/Eleven-lessons/ and read up on how these companies achieve competitive advantage through design.  

A must-read for all designers and managers!

Valentine’s day is here again! Our clients – both florists: www.treehouse.com.sg and www.simplyflowers.com.sg both experienced heavy traffic from their website during this period. Even at half past 8 in the evening today, orders were still flowing in for both!

Application architecture is an important backbone which has often been ignored in the process of developing web applications. For small websites development, with minimal number of modules, not much importance have generally been paid to the architecture framework. We are currently working on a large-scale portal website and we have built it using three-tier architecture.

Platform: ASP.NET 3.5 using C# 
Database: SQL Server 2005

For this project, there are a number of modules and client applications developed:

- Windows client application developed for the warehouse location handling the logistics and inventory portion of the website
- Web client application developed as the front end website where all users can register, login, interact with the website etc.
- Application server  which handles the various transaction modules for the entire application
- Database server running on SQL Server 2005 with Notifcation Service and Reporting Service running and integrated with the various events and controls

We are currently working on the transaction modules, after which we will deploy it onto the application server and perform user-level testing, load testing and scenario-based testing.

This project is one of the most challenging projects that we have worked on, and the adoption of a strong architecture framework made it possible for this project to be near completion at this point. Websites can be developed fairly easily without any planned framework; BUT for websites which are scalable and developed to handle large number of transactions, functionalities and traffic, it is IMPOSSIBLE to do it well without proper planning and sound technical / architecture understanding. This applies especially to portal websites, e-intranets and ecommerce websites for that matter.

The website will be ready for launch in the next 3-4 weeks. No further info can be provided at this stage – look out for it here when we launch it!!
