CASE STUDY: Landon Media Group

Web enhancements spell good news for innovative media marketing agency

Business Problem:
Over a number of years, Landon Media has developed a vision for supporting its media, publishing and advertising clients with electronic information services which drive business decision based on market conditions and performance. The technologies originally used to support this vision were failing to scale, experience stability and performance issues. Landon wanted to find a partner who could take them to the next level in terms of database, business intelligence, web applications and user experience, while providing hosting and managed services to support the transition to new infrastructure and platforms.

Solution:
Guidance Support Services provided Managed Services and Application Support for over a dozen Landon Media vertical business applications. The Guidance team performed tactical solution resolution for critical application issues and coordinated a strategic enhancement rollout. Guidance has begun the process of converting legacy Cold Fusion applications to the .NET Framework and continues to do so with all new development. The Landon infrastructure was migrated into a hosted facility and both hardware and software components were upgraded.
