Gnosis - The Web Professional's Competitive Advantage

Break through the value-add barrier...

Web site design, creation and hosting is such a competitive business. You are constantly striving to differentiate yourself in a crowded marketplace and find the answer to offering quality services at a reasonable price with a reasonable margin.

In recent times, "mashups" have become popular as a cheap method of implementing functionality for your small business customers.  While this approach has significant benefits, it cannot easily provide the integrated business process approach for your customers.

Gnosis, based on the Connect4 Business Solutions Framework (BSF), is a key opportunity for you to differentiate yourself in the market. You can provide your customers with an interactive, database-enabled website as a component of your web page creation and site design services.

The next time a customer asks you for advanced functionality requiring a back-end database to power their web pages, you can deliver at a price that won't induce sticker shock! Integrating Gnosis into your web design is a simple, effective and powerful way to deliver rich functionality at a reasonable cost, while protecting your margins and generating ongoing residual income via monthly subscription fees.

Gnosis is a Microsoft.Net 2.0 application. It is already packaged as a completely functional environment and provides all of the plumbing and functionality to handle:

• User security, access control and sensitive data encryption.
• Web page controls for data entry, view and updates.
• Web page controls for web enabled business process functionality.
• Template based integrated email for actions such as welcome, account verification, lost password recovery and more.

In addition to its basic web functionality, Gnosis installs a web service on your client's web site. The web service supplies business data to an included windows client application. It supports advanced database reporting, communication tasks, security management and much more.

Learning to implement a site using Gnosis will require only a minimal upfront investment of your time. You can continue to use all of your preferred web design tools and do not need to learn or purchase a bunch of new software. Adding Gnosis functionality is as simple as:

• Design your customer's web site and pages normally 
• Run the installer to add Gnosis to the site.
  
• Open the "site" with "Visual Web Developer" and drag the desired Gnosis web controls from the toolbox to the desired web pages.

Take a look at the extensive list of features offered by Gnosis. We believe this is an awesome opportunity for web professionals to profit from new marketing opportunities by adding database-aware web functionality to small to mid sized organization web sites.  Heretofore, this market has been difficult to address due to the technology not being available at the right price point.
