LUTHERAN EDUCATION AUSTRALIA

Lutheran Education Australia evaluated Digital repositories in order to host worship resources and learning objects for the teachers and staff in 2006.

After an initial pilot study of six months, the HP/MIT DSpace open source repository was chosen and implemented.

The benefit of using Dspace is the robust and scalable nature of the Java and postgres SQL platform that serve as the Dspace platform.

Incorporating the Lucerne search engine makes the retrieval of any document stored in the repository almost instantly. Data integrity of the digital assets are maintained with scheduled Cyclical Redundancy Checking.

The LEA digital repository is hosted on a dedicated server on the fast Internet network serving the Data centre hosting the Valegro servers.

SMARTCOMPANY

SmartCompany was previously developed on a proprietary Microsoft Dot Net system. A decision was made to shift to an open source solution primarily in order to obtain more flexibility regarding changes to the web site layout which proved to be very complex and slow in a Dot Net system.

Valegro performed the full systems migration including the redesign of the website using the open source Joomla Content Management System (Joomla version 1.5.x).

Using data tools, SQL scripts and Joomla components such as JoomSef, MyBlog and Community Builder the entire website was migrated and redesigned and implemented in record time.

SmartCompany staff still marvel at the enormous sense of achievement experienced when major changes can be made to the layout of their new website with the minimum amount of fuss.

Valegro continues to assist SmartCompany with enhancements to their online advertising needs, writing special code snippets to handle and manage the creative advertising endeavours on the SmartCompany website.

SmartCompany recommends Valegro’s complete online solution and being their official online technology partner.

SmartCompany invested in the following Valegro products and services:
