Customer Profile
Committed to "Enabling Global Peer Collaboration" securely across all industries and business functions, iPeerGrid (IPG) is one of the pioneers in the online networking area. The collaboration portal allows individual and business communities to exchange ideas and best practices with peer members, thus building a collective intelligent database.

Business Challenge
iPeerGrid was the vision of an individual who wanted to take a lead into the online networking market way before its current popularity. iPeerGrid’s vision was to bring global business peers together onto a popular online platform to participate, share and learn best practices. Developing a collaboration portal is an intelligent task and requires robust architecture and application. iPG looked for more effective ways to collaborate peers on a global scale and build a secure system. BluEnt stepped in to bring this concept to life.

BluEnt Approach
BluEnt deployed a team of web professionals and technical experts to carefully study the requirements. BluEnt studied and documented the screen by screen flow of the application which took form into a neat and robust solution in ASP way back in 2004. The application needed an upgrade to the latest technologies and was migrated into ASP.NET 2.0 and MS SQL 2005 with additional features and modules. BluEnt built the application based on MVC architecture using the Table Adapter Pattern. Over the years, we have grown as a company, and our services have improved towards iPG.

The application used AJAX to increase usability and improve customer experience. The portal has an effective search engine to find reports and research "On the Grid" and an admin tool to keep the portal updated and fresh, something that is critical to the success of a collaboration portal.
