Teach For All is a global network of independent social enterprises, who are working to expand educational opportunities in their nations, by endeavouring to enlist their most promising, potential future leaders.  To organize staff and facilitate collaboration, conference information and announcements, they were originally using a Google group site, but found this was not affording them as much flexibility as they required.  Appnovation were tasked with delivering that, and set about doing so with innovative ideas, and carefully planned project deliverables. 

In 2009, Appnovation was asked to design and develop a Drupal based community and e-commerce website called 'Cargoh'. The driving idea behind the site was to create a “social marketplace” for independent artists, from all over the world, to be able to showcase and sell their products and services.  It features community tools such as forums, an internal messaging system, and events section. The client decided to go with Drupal, due to the modular development, which makes it so popular for community sites, as well as its flexibility and scalability, which will make the site easier to modify or expand as its user base grows. It was also chosen because it is an Open Source inexpensive choice (no application license costs), especially in consideration of the endless wealth of support and module options available through the Drupal community.

In 2012, Elle Décor chose Appnovation Technologies to develop the application for their extremely popular “lookbook” resource. Elle Décor’s Lookbook allows users to browse hundreds of images from their archives organized by room and style as well as access editor curated lookbooks and a selection of best advice from ELLEDecor.com. This image heavy application was developed on, and is currently being hosted on, the Acquia Managed Dev Cloud. The Lookbook application boasts extremely responsive photo galleries and the ability for users to create and share their own design files (lookbooks) with others that might not even have the app. Users can also add notes antd images to the images they have already saved in their lookbooks. The app has sponsored lookbooks where a company can sponsor an entire room with hotspots on images to learn more at the sponsor’s website about the featured product. It can also feature a news section with the latest selection of articles from Elle Décor.

O2E Brands (Ordinary to Exceptional) is based in Vancouver, BC, and includes three uniquely branded companies: –1-800-GOT-JUNK?, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and You Move Me.

Appnvoation set about doing this, with innovative, as well as trusted techniques, and the expertise for which they are renowned. 

In 2012, Kobo Inc. partnered with Appnovation, to develop and launch their Windows 8 Metro and Instant Reader cloud applications. Kobo’s goal was to create applications with the ability to reach the multi-platform global market, while improving the functionality of their (already highly successful) iOS app. Both applications were developed using HTML 5 and the SproutCore framework, as best suited the business needs, as well as being able to handle the large content load of the applications, while remaining reliably robust and easily scalable.

Mercy Health (Mercy) supports several hospitals and clinics across many different geographical locations. Each geographical location has, historically, had its own dedicated intranet site. These sites were on different technologies, each employing a separate support structure. It was determined that a single, unified co-worker portal was needed, to support a vision of One Mercy. This began the start of Baggot Street as that portal. Since then, Baggot Street has been launched as the home page for over 38,000 co-workers. This was, however, just step one of the process. Mercy still needed to migrate the documents and structure from the old intranet sites into Baggot Street. One of the main features Mercy wanted to have, was the ability to upload and share three types of files used by the network of hospitals. Appnovtion set to work, determined to deliver all these requirements, and to ensure a seamless end result.  This project represents, as the case study attests, a perfect example of Drupal Alfresco Integration.
