Webauthor was started in 1995 to serve companies and organizations that needed comprehensive Internet, Intranet and Extranet development. Initially, we focused our efforts on building custom, Web-based applications for use exclusively within our client companies. We built and deployed Intranets with up to 10,000 users and hundreds of Web-based applications that helped our clients increase productivity, lower costs and improve communications.
In 1999 we implemented four Application Service Provider (ASP) applications that were available on a pay-per-user basis to anyone with an Internet connection. These applications were also made available for license to companies who wanted to leverage our existing portal features with additional customization to meet their specific requirements. One of the portals Webauthor built using this model was for the branding subsidiary of one of the world's largest advertising agency.
In 2004, we once again re-directed our efforts. This time developing products and services that targeted small and mid-sized organizations that needed portal support at a lower cost.
Regardless of size, many organizations realize they don't have the resources to build and deploy custom Internet-based services. Even larger companies find it difficult to keep up with the technological changes that could have a positive effect their businesses. Webauthor works with organizations of all sizes to develop and implement the IT products and solutions that enable them to gain a competitive advantage.
With nearly three decades of combined Web experience, Webauthor�s founders have the vision and technology know-how that helps customers stay ahead.
Co-founders of Webauthor Mario Rodrigues and Ld Schneider have spent over five years working in and managing a Fortune 100 global enterprise Web department supporting more than 1,000 offices worldwide.
This Fortune 100-level experience means that Webauthor�s management team has the ability and experience to conceptualize and create industrial strength, bulletproof and scalable applications that meet the most stringent business requirements.
Additionally, Webauthor's diverse client base (link to client page) demonstrates it can also relate to small and mid-sized businesses and help automate business-building processes to help these organizations compete and grow.
The unique blend of management expertise and exceptional application development skills leads to rapid development, low initial and ongoing costs, and extraordinary Internet, Intranet and Extranet applications.
