Searchlight - Web Applications Samples

We develop a wide range of web applications for leading technology firms. Here are a few recent examples.

We were asked by VMware to develop an engaging media branding introduction for a corporate presentation. The goal was to immediately communicate the VMware strategic direction in just a few seconds, grab the viewer's attention, and kick the mood into high gear. We liked the way it turned out.

Facebook Applications - Digparty and Digplanet

Digparty is a Facebook application that enables groups of people to meet, talk, and share media in a browser based 3D virtual environment. Users can have group conversations using VOIP, and create playlists of Youtube videos that play on big screens while users mingle and talk, much like at a house party with a great video entertainment system.

Digplanet builds a conceptual hierarchy of thousands of topics based on content from Wikipedia, Youtube, Facebook, Google News, Google Shopping, and Twitter. Each topic can then become the focus of a Digparty to allow people to gather in real time to talk about that topic, share content, and generally socialize. You know, like people do in the real world.

Document Management - Sales Central Library

We developed the Sales Central Library for Business Objects, an SAP company. It's an ASP.NET AJAX application that integrates with a Google Search Appliance to provide metadata or tag driven searching of documents along with full text search of document content.

Desktop Widget - MILO Lens

The MILO Lens is a desktop widget, very similar to an Adobe AIR application, that includes an RSS feed reader and integrates with a collection of web applications. Widgets are highly focused miniature applications and offer a great way to integrate web resources and infrastructure with the desktop.

Distributed eMarketing Content Management - Sales Central News Tool

Email newsletters and RSS feeds are great tools for communicating to groups of people. The Sales Central News Tool provides for distributed authoring and management of email newsletters and RSS feeds, using role based authorization to group users into Author, Editor, and Administrator roles, each of which is given different privileges and different responsibilities.

Employee Directory and Social Networking - Who's Who

When Business Objects needed a friendly and powerful employee directory application, they came to Searchlight Group. We created Who's Who, a Peoplesoft integrated ASP.NET AJAX application with a bit of social networking thrown in, so that employees could find the right person, and learn a little bit about them as a person, in just a few clicks.
