Internet solutions

Internet server solutions are programmed for any client platform, with a strong preference for Unix-based servers^*. Example sites have included:

• James Halliday's Wine on the Web for HarperCollins Publishers. Was "recommended" in the The Tech Talk Australia Award for Best Designed Web Site
• the James Halliday bulletin board for HarperCollins Publishers, and for WinePros (bulletin board no longer accessible to the public).
• consulted on the WinePros web site on database design and provided code for data migration from a previous system.
• a BHP training intranet solution. A brief summary and sample images can be found here.
• senior programmer for the Peterman Customer Connections web modules and the One Hour Web Site internet packages.
• the original Random House Australia web site
• the Sara Douglass bulletin board and Langton wine valuation site for HarperCollins Publishers,
• Ballet Biz in Australia's web site.
• Organizational Performance Research's online Psychological Profiler (no longer accessible to the public).

Often the client chooses to be responsible for their static site, deferring to Jazz Media to build the dynamic portion. This is the case with many of the above sites.

CD-ROM solutions

Jazz Media has produced a large number of cross-platform (Mac/Windows) multimedia CD-ROMs. Major CD-ROM clients include Global Publishing, HarperCollins Publishers and Random House Australia. A near-complete list of CD-ROM titles produced can be found here.

The six year running James Halliday Interactive Wine Companion has won "Best Lifestyle Product" in the AIMIA Awards (1997, 1998), and was a finalist in the APA Design Awards (1999) and the 1999 World Food Media Awards for "Best and/or Beverage CD-ROM or Internet Website". The Global Encyclopedia of Wine won "Best Wine CD-ROM" in the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2001.

Most CD-ROMs to date have been produced with a combination of Macromedia Director and 'C'. Internal libraries have been successfully rewritten in Java paving the way for multi-language CD-ROMs, playable on Mac, Windows, Linux and any other platform which supports the Java standard.

Other solutions

A range of other solutions are available, based on the same technology and skill set. This has included everything from simple dynamic presentations (eg. Mix FM's bid for the Sydney Olympic 2000 broadcast rights) through to networked database solutions and process automation systems (eg. for HarperCollins Publishers).

* Other server-platforms are generally favoured by companies without Unix experience. In comparison, these platforms have proved unreliable and inefficient. As a result, our skill focus and strong recommendation is for Unix-based servers only.
