Making information valuable

The connected communities we create are forging new ways of working and communicating. This change is happening faster than anywhere else in the knowledge-based sectors - public services, publishing and the electronic media. Business-to-business and business-to-customer relationships are being transformed as knowledge is made available electronically.

Developing communities of common knowledge and interest is a major area of activity on the internet. Main Highway's database technology, desktop and server tools provide the technical platform required to generate your knowledge-based community of interest.

The core technologies required to create you own community of interest are:

  • A high speed database configured to your member and guest information handling requirements.
  • A log-in mechanism to allow subscriber or member only areas.
  • Tools to build data-handling and presentation, and knowledge content, into your internet community offering.
  • Access to our TollWay payments system for charging guests or visitors for valuable knowledge resources.
  • A support service to allow you to develop your connected community as new opportunities emerge.
  • Active promotion of your presence across our own extranet membership to maximise traffic to, and activity within, your community.

Solutions in partnership:
Building on its leading experience with its own extranet, Main Highway is able to offer economic access to its technology solutions to support new knowledge-based communities. Trade Associations, Institutions and other sector interest groups can all benefit from our database and log-in technology.

Other desktop and server tools also allow easy news and events management, efficient electronic communication with your own membership and other benefits that bring your community together as an actively developing trading and revenue earning entity. Contact us now.

 


The Languages National Training Organisation
provides a good example of a professional community of members - in this case linguists servicing clients using connected methods.

Their MAINHighway solution is based on:

The BLIS search engine providing access to language service providers on-line both direct and via the Main Highway extranet.
