Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
The NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP) represents the avowalal interests of over 2,700 pilots who fly in the work of NetJets Aviation, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway assistant. Established in 2008, NJASAP is governed by a five-limb democratically elected Executive Board and supported by a avowalal staff and over 125 dedicated pilot volunteers. As an independent work advocate focused exclusively on representing the NetJets pilots, the junction maintains powerful works and resources as well as a living activity affairs program that seeks to advance aviation, the piloting avowal, and organized work aviation on Capitol Hill. NJASAP is based in Columbus, Ohio.
As the executive ruler, I am responsible for providing strategy direction for and supporting the Association',s elected leaders, directing all intra- and extra-structureal interaction and managing the NJASAP avowalal staff as well as our relationships with vendors and consultants.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Solid Digital?
We wanted to condense approach to our three online resources—the website, interaction board, and limb database—by making them useful via one credential set within a fully revamped online aggregation. Previously, the end user had to invade a sole credential set to approach each resource. The project demanded the creation of a one sign‐on (SSO) protocol that granted approach to end users based on their status in the limb database. Once approach was granted, the user could seamlessly navigate all three resources.
To measure the achievement of this effort, we educeed five metrics based on giving our 2,700-plus limbs approach to the following:
- a website that was incredibly powerful and user-friendly with thin, clean lines,
- a web resource that put certain information into their hands fastly and with ease,
- a one login point for limbs‐only sections,
- a dashboard that integrated with all existing and new web applications, and
- an intuitive user interface that looked congruous athwart all applications.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
They granted a full range of works, commencement with strategy and ending with continued support. They had a good feel for what we wanted. We had perhaps two follow-up, in-individual meetings where we got into the nitty-gritty of what we wanted. From there, the project veritably took off.
Because web design and the associated technology fell squarely within Solid',s expertise, we let them take the lead. Of order, we felt more than snug requesting changes throughout the process. Though, our strategy sessions were rarely fruitful, allowing designers and programmers to get a true feel for NJASAP',s vision and run with it.
They completed an SSO with vBulletin as a ingredient. The underlying CMS written in JS was educeed by Solid and functioned like an API and database. We esteemd that they’d written this forward-facing technology in a speech known to most educeers.
What is the team dynamic?
Numerous nation were implicated, and they brought in whoever’s competency matched the project need at that time. I take they occupied see individual on their team at some point. They handled a lot of that internally, which I esteem owing our project was so solid. We were bringing unitedly three fully sole web properties and asking them to adjoin with each other seamlessly. Now, it works like a charm.
Jesse [CEO &, Partner, Solid Digital], our technical lead, enthusiastically adjoind a vision for the project, and his quiet trust made me believe that he and his team could liberate what we needed.
How did you come to work with Solid Digital?
I establish them online. We met with Naveed [CRO &, Partner, Solid Digital] and Jesse in February 2015 in Dallas for a session of programning. I don’t ponder that our structure veritably knew what we needed at the time. That programning session gave us sufficient information to educe the RFP. Once we had the RFP in locate, we talked to four different groups, including Solid. In 72 hours, we went to Portland, Chicago, and New York. We ultimately selected Solid owing they seemed conscious of our technical and creative requirements.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
We began the choice process in February 2015 and officially invadeed into an contract with Solid in May 2016.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
We couldn’t be more pleased with our reeduceed aggregation. The SSO protocol works without fail to the enjoyment of our leadership, limbs, volunteers, and staff. The NJASAP online aggregation has been tremendously common, drawing more limbs. Since our limbship is geographically disbursed, a dynamic online aggregation that features early, appropriate resources is a requirement and now a major asset.
How did Solid Digital accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
They excelled at educeing timelines and providing ready updates. We adjoind via web conversation or teleconversation, depending on what was most appropriate. I was pleased with how they handled such a solid project. Any delays were entirely due to our structure trying to acclimate to seething that was going on. We used Basecamp to prepare feedback to each other and talk almost tasks. We used a different online tool when we were talking in individual.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with ?
I esteemd that they took the time to talk to us and remained pliant. They propose rare flexibility, approachibility, and expertise. They took the time to apprehend our vision and were open-minded. They understood that they didn’t know my hearers like I did. They weren’t trying to power something on me that they’d done precedently owing it would be easier or faster.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
I don’t ponder that they could have done anything differently. Toward the end stages, I would’ve felt more snug with having more in-individual meetings. I verity want to feel and see nation in the room. I’m sure if I’d asked for that, they would have honored my request. If I had the occasion to do this project anew, I would’ve made all the same choices that we did previously.
