Employees view classified ads on the application main menu

Application users begin by logging into the application. Application security is tied directly to the Active Directory schema. Once a user is authenticated, he posts and searches for classified ads. The application allows users to filter search results by ad category.

Classified ads are submitted online and expire programmatically

A user submitting new classified ads can upload images and schedule ad expiration dates. The user can request an email alert to remind him of ad expiration. Alerts are delivered programmatically, three days in advance of the expiration date. Email alerts are managed by an SQL Server Agent Job.

We modified the Eiger page style in Iron Speed Designer to match our company logo colors and intranet portal.

Using Iron Speed Designer saved at least one to two person-months, as only one developer was required. The cost savings are unknown; however, the experience and knowledge is priceless. Without using Iron Speed Designer, the project probably would have taken two to three times longer. Although the project size was small in scope, using Iron Speed Designer expedited application development time significantly. With its ease of use, excellent user interface, and advanced code functionality, we were able to create and deliver first class applications to our end users.

The project could have been completed without Iron Speed Designer, but would have been more time consuming and frustrating.
