Case Studies

Web Design and Development

The College Savings Plans of Maryland, a partnership between the State of Maryland and T. Rowe Price, looks to Cybergroup for the support and enhancement of their Web site. For over five years Cybergroup has helped design, develop, and enhance the College Savings Plans website which offers a variety of ways to help you realize your child’s dream of affording college.

Cybergroup recently revamped the College Savings Plan website incorporating Ektron’s CMS 400 Content Management System (CMS). The CMS gives the staff of College Savings the ability to update their own content on the site, without any technical hurdles. Additionally, Web administrators can assign tasks while managing Web site activity within a single environment. Content revisions can be tracked, sent through an approval chain and historical versions rolled back to—all with the click of a mouse.

Migration Services Case Studies

Cybergroup’s Migration Services target businesses that are moving their hosting operations and applications from one hosting provider to another or who are transitioning their internal IT to an external hosting service. When dealing with mission critical applications and services, a business needs to be assured that the move happens quickly, smoothly, and without any outages.

Cybergroup will work with you to successfully complete your migration. We begin each migration project with an extensive questionnaire, which provides a “blueprint” depicting every phase and aspect of the migration. From this questionnaire, we are able to identify migration requirements, procedures, timelines, and roles and responsibilities. Our migration questionnaire, methodology, and professional services have resulted in dozens of successful migrations for a wide variety of clients.

What can we migrate?

Here’s a sampling of some of the applications and technologies we have worked with in recent migrations:

• Unix, Linux, FreeBSD, Sun Solaris, Windows
• Websites, Mail Servers, Databases, e-commerce stores, DNS
• Applications developed in PHP, Perl, ASP, Asp.Net, JSP, or ColdFusion (contact us for a complete list of supported platforms / languages)

To give you an idea of the depth and breadth of our migration services, we offer a few examples of our recent work:

• A U.S. school system needed to migrate their IT infrastructure from Sun Solaris to FreeBSD to facilitate their growth and future development efforts. Cybergroup migrated over eight hundred mail accounts, forty three websites, and three MySQL databases, plus additional components related to web and mail services.
  
  
• An international boat manufacturer wanted to consolidate three Unix server and a Windows server into a single, more powerful Windows server. Cybergroup coordinated the effort and successfully migrated an ASP.net website, SQL Server database, and the customer’s email accounts. During the project Cybergroup devised unique solutions to address DNS propagation issues for their database and website to ensure a transition that was completely transparent to end-users.
  
  
• A leading health insurance information website needed to migrate their Website onto a new dedicated server. Cybergroup facilitated a seamless migration of their ASP.net applications and MS SQL Server, along with custom ISAPI filters and IIS configuration.
  
  
• An international travel agency needed a server upgrade due to growth and expanding customer needs. Cybergroup provisioned their three server solution (Linux Red Hat Enterprise) with the appropriate Apache configuration, including SSL, PHP, and WebTrends for log file analytics, in addition to MySQL and Sendmail. Later, Cybergroup performed load testing and performance analysis to quantify server capacity and facilitate future planning.
