at the end of its planned development be an Industry
Standard.
The
planned website and portal is a 4 stage development of
which the first two stages will be delivered by
September. The portal will have a significant “Members”
transaction area, and will provide a number of advanced
features for
Multiport Clients, Registered Users as well

significant marketing tool for
Multiport.

serves over 300 clients, making it the worlds
largest Global Agency Network.
Quantum
is proud of the faith placed by
Multiport on
us, and it is a testament to our understanding of all
facets of transportation, and our ability to translate
this into a value proposition. This contract strengthens
our Web Design team, and we believe that this being a
severe need in shipping, will continue to grow rapidly.

Chartered Shipbrokers - a pillar of the maritime industry, has selected them for

will dramatically leverage each of these core elements, while
retaining focus on the student body and the learning that the

Quantum
launches new Web Design service.
As promised to those that expressed an
interest, Quantum has officially commenced their ''Web
Design'' business vertical, promising to deliver
state-of-the-art design with the very best in e-commerce
features. As with our other businesses, we hope our Wed Design
will be unique in its dedicated focus towards Transportation.
Incorporating cross-industry features and design, Quantum will
bring to Transportation web-sites a new customer-oriented
approach, that will dramatically shift the information
architecture and access to information. New technology on the
web is well within ones grasp to provide e-commerce features
to even the simplest of websites.
The use of flash and other display tools will replace the
first generation websites found on most shipping websites
today. Our design team pledges to innovate and think ''Outside
the bottle'' in creativity and visual appeal.
Quantum will also design portals with secure access for
transactions, be they enquiries, bookings or financial. New
search engines and reporting tools used, will allow clients to
run queries and customize their features. Essentially,
Quantum's Web Design will place the client's site
significantly ahead of the industry standard in terms of
feature and ability.
Quantum's Web division is supported by a
Client Interface Manager
(Sonya@quantum-bso.com)
and a dedicated team of web professionals
comprising a manager, graphic designer, database analyst and
engineers.
