The CLASSIFIED project brought value to Caterpillar by making modifications to the Digital Experience Guidelines that supported them making a jump into a CLASSIFIED business model; transforming the way they market to CLASSIFIED.
It requires being a leader in understanding CAT’s business, using that understanding to drive decisions and develop solutions based on that; all while internal shifts in business sway how the outcome materializes.
Classified projects are unfortunately vague as there’s not much that can be shared.
The Digital Experience Guidelines project was a whitelabeling of CAT.com performed in AEM that created a flexible system able to provide consistent branding and quality experiences.
It brought faster migrations, within months of completion 3 sites were replatformed helping CAT to centralize infrastructure and platforms.The project leveraged 15 current components and 17 templates while creating 30 new components for authors, all while maintaining responsive, internationalized sites that continued with their integrations with systems like product inventory management (PIM).
Business configurations components were created that powered cachable dynamically generated CSS.
Caterpillar came to Razorfish with the problem of creating an experience that combines their current Cat.com with the content around what rental products are available for a location.
(more…)Celebrating the new Razorfish Chicago office at the Merchandise Mart, shiny technology for the reception area featured a 60″ multitouch screen. But just displaying video isn’t a fair use of the screen. Our team members with the motion team worked together to push experience to the limits with a touch experience that responds to temperature, touch and sound.
Razorfish formed GroupX a team focused on innovating, bringing 9 Creative and UX team members with one technologist to create demos, assist in pitch work and proof of concepts.
One such project was revamping the expense entry project. This project required exploration into Optical Character Recognition (OCR, for scanning receipts into meaningful information) as well as coming up with a plan for linguistic analysis.
The analysis was used for turning vocal speech input to text and then interpreting freeform entry as expense details.
JPMorgan Chase supports the US Open Tennis tournament and partnered with Razorfish to market the JP Morgan Global brand. This project featured a multiple prongs; one which featured a web site that was mobile optimized and one which consisted of large touch screen installations.
Our developers supported the project by through leading the touch screen implementations. The screen content was created using Flash as one of the partners, which has specific partnerships with Airports, required that their platform be flash based. New versions of flash player were used to create a multitouch experience that tapped into the GPU of the host computers. Various sensors including Kinect, web cameras and IR laser scanners were used for tracking users and their touches.
These sensors were tapped into to track people as they moved past the interfaces and changed the interface from an informational loop to attract people to come closer and interact. Parallax environments richly updated to the motion of people around. Relevant stocks and weather services were also integrated to provide up to date relevant tertiary information.
Some of the installation hurdles to overcome included the calibration of the lasers as well as rogue IR from other lighting systems and sunlight, not to mention an installation during Hurricane Irene.
There was an additional station created for an airport installation in Heathrow London. After the success of the massive 3×3 and 2×2 stations, they were relocated to JPMorgan Global offices in NYC. Our teams assisted with the installation and calibrations at all three locations.
