Internet Applications

ACI is a leading web-based database-driven applications developer. We understand that ease and a good interactive experience with your web site is critical for your potential clients, existing customers and staff. For that reason, we utilize the latest technology to provide fast and easy-to-use browser-based applications. We develop open source (Apache, PHP, MySql) internet applications depending on our clients needs.

Content Management: Instant and easy for you
ACI also knows how important it is for organizations to have immediate access and control of the information on their web sites, so we have become experts with content management systems (CMS). We work with clients to integrate existing content into a state-of-the-art web-based CMS that can be managed by staff at all levels with ease and security.

We also design and deploy community-based sites using our CMS so users can interact and share ideas, which works well for customer feedback, creating online communities, and building customer loyalty. With our custom multimedia CMS, users can also post various types of audio and video files.

Ecommerce: Effortless sales, efficient transitions
ACI ecommerce-based web site projects includes sale of physical items and electronic media deliverable over the web. Our solutions integrate with our clients’ current business processes and databases so transitions are easy and efficient.

Political Campaign sites: Control the message and the money
Political campaign web sites are one of our specialties, with a web site solution that allows campaign staff to control all content from a web-browser, collect volunteer information, and manage online campaign contributions easily and instantly. Our contribution management software, which has been used in state-level races throughout the U.S., allows a campaign to set up various manual approvals before a donor's credit card is charged - ensuring the validity of the donation and providing invaluable tracking capabilities.

Open Source Applications: Building on what works
We are experts with various open source application frameworks, including osCommerce, Drupal, XOOPS, and ATK. Through these frameworks, free, reliable, and battle-tested tools provide the best foundation for us to customize ideal solutions for our clients efficiently and cost effectively.

Program Development

When new or expanding projects or markets require up front investment of time beyond that available of staff, ACI provides program development services that move staff and management to decision points, program introductions and project initiation. We solidify concepts, research program elements, outline strategy, identify challenges, secure funding and partners, identify markets and opportunities, develop materials and presentations, and handle initial project management and successful program transition to staff.

ACI's success in business development and securing millions of dollars in public and private cash and support for small and large companies, organizations and agencies is the result of responsive strategies backed by research, creativity, follow-up and thoughtful action.
