The short articles below outline some of the ways 101 can help to resolve real issues facing you today.

| Easily Update a Website |
"A journalist need not understand the intimate workings of a printing press"
Similarly you shouldn’t need skills in web development, graphic design, HTML coding, databases or FTP in order to get timely information onto your web site.
The solution is SmartWebb™ – an on-line publishing and content system that enables any authorised person in your organisation to post content directly into your web site in real time. Using SmartWebb™ you can publish and control all kinds of information including…
- News
- Notices
- Events
- Documents and files
- Member records
- Web links to external sites
- Content on key pages
SmartWebb™ consists of a range of flexible and targeted applications to suit your needs and budget.

| Communicate Effectively |
Rapid and effective communication is at the heart of any successful enterprise, 101 provide a range of web based facilities designed to give your organisation the edge.
A passive presentation web site can become a highly proactive business information and communications tool using the following facilities.
- Password controlled member’s area for storage and dissemination of privileged information, including real-time publishing to the site from your desk.
- Content categorisation and searching, ensuring even large quantities of information can be accessed quickly and easily.
- Member profiling facilities - providing the means to target information only where and when it's needed.
- eMail push systems using a rich email generator (SmartMessenger ™)to create and send content rich mail to all, or targeted sections, of your user base.
- News, information databases, events, sector statistics, membership information, member notices, and more can all be published to your web site in real time, and be on your members desktops just as quickly.

| Reduce Costs |
Developing an effective and valuable web site unavoidably involves initial cost, however it’s the ongoing costs that are often overlooked, and can add up to many times the initial cost.
On going costs including staff time, expertise, training, design, technical and employee overheads can all be reduced significantly through careful planing and use of content management facilities.
Our philosophy is that web site content is best maintained by the people who own the content. This route is far more direct, economical and effective than going through publishing intermediaries, like agencies or in house technical staff. A vibrant and up to date web site updated by existing non technical staff is within reach - but only if you plan it this way!
With a properly conceived and implemented web site you can also save money in a host of other ways, including:
- Cutting down on significantly on postage and shipping charges
- Reducing paper and printing costs by providing information in a downloadable form from your web site
- On-line order processing, including payment, can reduce transaction costs where member resources are purchased at the web site
- Providing member support and information areas on-line, and so reducing pressure on internal office/support staff
- Adding web based facilities to handle membership enquiries (e.g. membership fee calculators etc.)
- Integrating on-line services with in house systems to save re-keying information
101 has assisted organisations in all of the above areas, using e-Commerce, database and SmartWebb™ solutions. In addition to reducing costs many of the above also offer significant business advantage.
