Epimedia has been in the game in Australia since 2001. Our staff has experience in this field dating back into the 90s! We've worked on a diverse range of development projects for organisations across many sectors both in Australia and abroad. As a result of this experience, our project methodology has crystallised into a unique collaborative approach.
Epimedia can light the way. We'll draw the Big Picture for you, fill in the details and explain every step along the way.
We firmly believe in client empowerment. By empowering a client with background knowledge and practical skills they are able to contribute meaningfully to the collaborative process. This results in a better outcome for the project and the organisation. Down the road, client empowerment results in increased self-reliance, which in turn improves the prospect for better learning outcomes and project longevity. It's better for everyone that way.
We can fill the gaps. Since Epimedia has the benefit of sourcing our talent in-house, we can provide consultation and services geared towards your needs. This could mean anything from giving the "right" advice and training, to technical problem solving and full-scale disaster recovery. Whatever your needs, we have already "been there" and can help you.
Simply possessing the technical proficiency required to write code in a language does simple makes one a writer. At Epimedia, we like to consider ourselves true craftsmen. The difference between the two lies in an unhealthy, obsessive commitment to the details of problem solving, not simply 'getting it done'.
"Before software can be reusable
it first has to be usable.
Ralph Johnson (computer scientist)"
Since 2001 we have been graced with a diverse range of clients - from small business startups to large institutions and government. As a result we have created dynamic web applications of all sizes, shapes and colors for a wide range of purposes including:
Epimedia's particular areas of specialisation include:
Some e-learning provders specialise in content. Some specialise in delivery.
At
Epimedia we do both, and everything in between.
The purpose of the discovery phase is to establish the scope of your project, and your short and long-term goals. To accomplish this, we assess your needs through interviews and research. Our findings are organised into a blueprint which defines the project requirements, sets objectives and targets on which the project's success can be measured.
The information gathered during the initial contact with you serves as a foundation for the design process. At this stage we begin to develop the project's aesthetic and formulate functionality specifications. In the final stages of creation the design elements are unified, and issues of compatibility and usability addressed.
Proper planning in Discovery & Design ensure cost and time-effective development. The user interface components are created by melding functionality with aesthetics - at all times working closely with you to manage the flow of information and materials.
After the project has been developed, we ensure its successful delivery. Depending on the nature of the project this ongoing process might include training, evaulation, testing and updates.
Around 85% of Epimedia's business is repeat business. Around 70% of our new clients are a direct referral from an existing client. That's remarkable in an industry based around one-off projects.
We keep excellent company, as evidenced by our client list:
Little things make the big things happen.
John Wooden
Our competitors are the sorts of people wearing 'smart casual' attire 7 days a week. They SMS with one hand and hide behind too much IT jargon. Success at those places is measured in sales quotas. Everyone answers to the sales manager and inbound telephone calls to routed to voicemail at 4:55PM. Some speak Klingon.
At Epimedia the creative people are at the top, where they belong. Our success is measured by real outcomes, not sales quotas. We like to say "Yes, we can!" BEFORE saying "It's going to cost you." We believe in the power and majesty of open source . Our advice is free. We care and our clients love us because we empower and support them. We're the sort of people you want in your corner when the Boss tinkers with your project at the last minute. Finally, we like to think our results speak for themselves.
Epimedia and open-source software go together like peanut butter and jelly, or Vegemite on toast. The open source philosophy meshes well with our primary mission and our collaborative community-based ethos. We can often be found contributing our expertise to other web developers in the open-source community forums (when we SHOULD be working).
One of our principal objectives in delivering any project is to ensure that project is both feasible and sustainable. Open-source software can often provide “off the shelf” functionality that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive. It also ensures the software can be updated frequently, at reduced cost to the client.
We have particular experience in deploying open-source solutions for the following applications:
Epimedia can provide installation, customization and support services for many major open-source applications available including:
