Geoprise Technologies: A Visionary Web 2.0 Company
Geoprise Technologies was formed in 1999 by a group of software executives with over a century of previous cumulative experience building enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems and implementing them worldwide.
Our mission, then and now, is to create exceptional value for our customers by harnessing the power and economy of the World Wide Web to deliver world-class Software as a Service (SaaS) on a global scale.
We value integrity through continuing professional accreditation, intense commitment to business ethics and profound respect for intellectual property rights.
GeoBooks On Demand, our flagship product, is truly visionary software built from the ground up as a Web 2.0 application. Tim O'Reilly, President and CEO of the firm that coined the phrase "Web 2.0" in 2004, has identified 7 core competencies of Web 2.0 companies and challenges his readers to test their features against this list:
| Web 2.0 Companies | Geoprise Technologies |
|---|---|
| Services, not packaged software, with cost-effective scalability | GeoBooks On Demand is only available as a service, through a global service network. |
| Control over unique, hard-to-recreate data sources that get richer as more people use them | We control core GeoBooks On Demand data (such as standard charts of accounts) and continually enrich it as our users extend and translate the core into more than 150 languages. |
| Trusting users as co-developers | We permit our users to extend and translate product documentation through our Community Home. We also encourage our users to suggest new features or improvements, and monitor the use of our software in real time to discover how GeoBooks On Demand features are being used. |
| Harnessing collective intelligence | We enable our users to collaborate openly through the Forum inside our Community Home, which allows people to share their ideas with other users and with us. |
| Leveraging the long tail through customer self-service | Our issue tracking service allows users to request support and track the resolution of issues raised by the entire community on-line. |
| Software above the level of a single device | Our first-of-its-kind GeoBooks Exclusive Service allows users to host and control their own enterprise database while using our services. |
| Lightweight user interfaces, development models, AND business models | GeoBooks On Demand incorporates standards-based presentation (XHTML, CSS), dynamic display and interaction, data interchange and interaction (XML, XSLT), asynchronous workflows and business logic written in the PHP scripting language. |
