TELUS Communications Inc.
   
  TELUS has used our services for a number of years on a variety of applications including numerous Microsoft Access databases, SQL server applications, ASP intranet applications, and IBM db2 data warehouse applications.

One of the most interesting projects was a web application that retrieved all its content from a database and formatted it as a dynamic web page. In addition, the web application was a front-end to another database that the end users could view, edit and report against.

Technologies we used:

  • A single ASP page to pipe XML from SQL server to the browser.
     
  • XSLT to transform raw XML to display as richly formatted web pages.
     
  • SQL server 2000 to host both data and web content.
     

With this model we could update the contents of any web page just by typing the content into a database table. No downtime for the users, no big costs to the client.
