Hosting/Security

Domain Name Registration
HBP will take care of registering your new domain name with VeriSign. If you already have an established domain name when you start a project with us, we can also take care of all the details needed to link your new site to your Internet identity.

Secure Key
Many of our sites use secure or encrypted layers to send valuable data back and forth between the site and a viewers computer. We not only take care of building the secure layers and integrating the latest security technologies, but we also take care of registering of your secure key, for secure online transactions, through VeriSign.

WebSite Hosting
HBP hosts our websites on Dell Dual Processor servers, with Microsoft NT 4.0, Microsoft Access 2000, and Macromedia Cold Fusion Server 5.0. We have redundant Internet connections with two different providers for optimum up time. We also have two MCSE system administrators.

E-commerce

Imagine having all your relevant data available to you on any computer worldwide 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Database driven websites make this a reality for companies every day.

The problem with data today is simply getting the right data at the right time. You know the data exists somewhere. But how do you get it in a timely fashion and a relevant format? HBP’s experts can help you analyze every component of your data and content storage and provide customized solutions for entering, managing, and retrieving the information you need.

We start by looking at your current database or in some cases multiple databases. We analyze the way the information is interacting. Are there ways we can help you streamline the input process? Can updates be done with more efficiency? Is your information easily shared with other relevant systems or databases? These are just a few of the questions we ask when analyzing your needs.

We then look at how your information is used and who is using it. Does it need to be searchable? Does it get printed in a publication format on a regular basis?

We finish up by providing you with a customized solution that allows you the most efficient access to your data. Our solution could contain a variety of modules for input and management of your information (content management), modules for administrative or user updating of data, tools for sharing your data with other systems, and customized reports.

All of HBP’s web solutions are designed to help you meet your company’s goals. Whether you need to manage a large membership base, produce online publications, work more efficiently, or simply better connect with your customers, HBP can help. HBP presently maintains approximately 15 Internet stores. We support secure credit transactions using secure key encryption as well as real-time credit card processing. The storefront can be integrated into HBP's web-based fulfillment software to provide a complete order and fulfillment solution.

Market Specific Solutions

HBP’s Internet development team has created feature rich applications that are geared to the needs of a specific market segment. Our most comprehensive suite of tools to date is targeted toward professional associations. We have also developed tools in use by financial institutions, online retailers, and the educational publications markets.

The tools include a very comprehensive module for maintaining user databases that allows an association's membership to maintain their own contact information, specify their level of service, buy and be billed for publications, and a variety of additional personal services. The entire module is password protected and administered by the association’s directors. Also included in the suite are a set of tools for maintaining and distributing papers and journals. Users can search electronic databases for articles based on author name, title, date, or keyword. Once found, the article can be downloaded, viewed online, or in some case purchased and shipped as hard copy. Since the tool is customizable, we make sure that the association’s requirements are being met as the tool is developed.

HBP has a great deal of experience setting up electronic storefronts for not only the association market, but for a variety of businesses to sell studies, publications, CD-ROMs, and other related materials.

We have also developed a module written in conjunction with convention planners designed for managing every aspect of a conference or convention. Components of this tool include member conference and hotel registration, vendor and exhibitor registration, program content management and approval, meeting time and space management, audiovisual management, food budgeting, and more.

The tools mentioned above are just a small sampling of the solutions HBP has created for our customers. Contact us today to find out what we can do for you.

Custom Programming

ColdFusion Programming
ColdFusion is a product that allows us to integrate the content of normal html pages with information stored in an ODBC compliant database. This offers a large amount of flexibility to your website, and its uses are generally limited only by your imagination. We currently use ColdFusion to drive online stores, membership directories, product and service directories, lists, plus many more applications. If you get a demonstration of our own remote proofing or inventory management sites, the data you will be viewing is being served up to you via a ColdFusion application.

HTML Programming
HTML is the base language that all our websites are formatted in. Our staff programmers are very adept at integrating standard HTML with a huge variety of additional technologies and products such as ColdFusion, Java, Perl, Flash, Shockwave, and more.

Other Programming
Our three staff programmers can also program custom applications in languages such as ASP, Flash ActionScript, XML, ActivePerl, Java, JavaScript, and C++. If you have a specific requirement for your custom programming project, please give us a call or e-mail our Internet department.
