The drpgroup have re-launched their online project and content
sharing system projx on 10/10/2011following major redevelopment of
the system, a total rebrand and the introduction of increased
functionality, ease of use and storage capacity.
The system, designed and delivered by thedrpdigitalmedia team
will be used by the entire drpgroup client roster and drpgroup
project managers to maximise creativity, efficiency and the sharing
of ideas across all projects. Build up to the launch day saw
clients receive a series of teaser including projx branded extra
strong mints, signifying the host of new features available and an
extra large mug, representing projx's vastly increased storage
capacity and scope of site. Out of 179 individual clients invited
to join the new system, 142 logged in and began sharing on projx on
the first day. An uptake of 79%.
The original projx system was introduced eight years ago and has
been an invaluable tool for drpgroup clients, acting as a central
resource for gaining access to key project files such as schedules,
artwork and video content.
The new system allows clients to preview image, sound and video
content live in their browser, even allowing them to make comments
and suggested changes in the browser interface for drpteam members
to complete, without even picking up a phone or sending an email.
Preview and comment features mean that clients will no longer need
to make unnecessary downloads or waste paper through unnecessary
printing. The system also allows users of modern browsers such as
Firefox of Chrome to drag and drop files directly to or from the
site to avoid lengthy upload and download processes, even allowing
clients and project managers to email files directly into the
system without opening their browser.
Projx also launched an inaugural competition with and iPad 2
awarded to the winner. Clients had to complete a questionnaire on
the group and upload an image of themselves with a projx theme. The
winner of the Prize was Julian Britton from Wolverhampton Wanders
FC who achieved 100% on the quiz and uploaded a fantastic image of
himself.
Dale Parmenter, drpgroup managing director, commented on the
launch of the new system. "projx has been a vital part of how we
work efficiently and effectively with clients for many years and
this re-launch brings the system up to date with the modern day
needs of our clients. We've had a lot of extremely positive
feedback from clients already, particularly highlighting reduced
waste and the sustainability aspect of the site and we'll be
launching a smartphone app version of the system in the coming
months to improve projx's reach and effectiveness even
further."
