The Banyan Solutions Consulting Group (TBSCG) was established in 2003 to provide a local EMEA presence for the increasing number of customers looking to implement Online Centric messaging solutions.

TBSCG recognise that the merge of on- and off-line worlds is progressing

TBSCG’s Development Department specializes in delivering high-end soft-ware solutions including:

¨ Content Management Systems. We specialize in building complex and powerful enterprise content manage-ment systems using numerous dif-

ferent technologies. We are partners with Autonomy and have experi-ence in delivering software solutions in TeamSite, LiveSite, MediaBin, OpenDeploy, Intelligent Data Oper-ating Layer (IDOL) and WorkSite, to name but a few. We are also partners with Sitecore for products delivered in Sitecore CMS technology; End-Play for their Web Content Manage-ment platform using the Software as a Service (SaaS) model.

¨Mobile applications. We have suc-cessfully delivered a number of mo-bile solutions for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android devices (tablets and handhelds). We can help you build native mobile applications that can be distributed via Apple’s App-Store or Google’s Play store, as well as web applications suited to all kinds of mobile platform.

¨ Bespoke solutions. We are highly experienced in designing and build-ing bespoke applications in-line with our customers’ needs. Our portfolio includes a wide variety of projects including mobile payment systems, compliance managers, customer re-lationship managers (CRMs) and re-

cruitment platforms. If you have an idea for an application and need some help transforming that idea into reality, we’re the right people to talk to.

How we workTBSCG’s Development Department is

composed of highly skilled and experi-enced professionals capable of deliver-ing software solutions in a variety of dif-ferent technologies. We also constantly

monitor the latest trends and keep our fingers on the pulse of new technologies so we can quickly adapt them to suit your projects. Our development process is ex-tremely flexible as we use a wide range of software development methodologies including agile (i.e. Scrum) and waterfall.

We can consequently tailor our approach according to your needs.

We pay a great deal of attention to the quality of our products. Our developers create all kinds of automated tests that are then used to check an application’s behaviour. We have also introduced a continuous integration process. This helps us improve the quality of our soft-ware at every single stage in the develop-ment process, and generally gives better results than focusing on quality once the coding has already been completed.

During the development process we use several stand-alone environments. Each process typically uses at least three environments: development, user ac-ceptance testing (UAT) and production. The development environment is used by our software developers to produce the code. The UAT contains snapshots of the application for the client to check against the functional specifications. The production environment, meanwhile, is

the live environment where the applica-tion is up and running and actually be-ing used by the client. However, if your product requires different environments, we can easily adjust the architecture to suit your specific needs.

MAKE YOUR MESSAGE PACK... ... A REAL PUNCH WITH THE HELP OF OUR TEAM OF CREATIVES!

Consumer attention is pulled in a hundred different directions every minute of the day. What can you do to ensure your message actually reaches its target audience? Our team of creatives can help set your firm apart from the rest by delivering pertinent information to your clients, suppliers and partners… Design, content, user-friendliness, building your presence on social networking sites… whatever your needs, our experts are ready and waiting to help you develop your brand.

STRATEGY CONTENT DESIGN DELIVERY

Define the strategy…Defining an appropriate strategy is

the first building block in the process. The TBSCG team doesn’t simply roll up armed with ready-made solutions. We begin by conducting an in-depth audit (content, design, user-friendliness) in order to identify the strengths and weak-nesses of your firm’s existing tools. Our team of creatives then establishes which strategy your firm should adopt in or-der to tackle the problem in-hand. Do you need a purely web-based solution (website, social networking sites…)? Or an off-line solution (printed documents, promotional material, material for points of sale…)? There is no predetermined answer: each project is totally unique and has its own specific needs.

… then put it into words…Creating your message is by no

means a cookie-cutter affair: it all de-pends on the communications tools you wish to use and the intended target audi-ence. Websites and social networking sites employ totally different tones, and the person using your mobile applica-tion is looking for different information to the client who’s flicking through a bro-chure in a retail outlet. That means the message simply cannot be the same. Journalistic magazines, advertising bro-chures, corporate websites or promo-tional mini-sites… our copywriters have a true way with words, tailoring them to suit the context in question. These are people whose dreams are filled with clever copy and catchy slogans.

… and pictures.Our designers’ dreams, meanwhile,

are peppered with PhotoShop win-dows that they fill with designs for your brand new website, mobile application or printed communications. And they’re not just designers, but user experience specialists, too, so what they dream-up is user-friendly as well as being attractive. Their end-goal isn’t self-satisfaction, but rather coming up with a design that will truly convey your message. What’s more, they can help you put together your very own corporate identity to guarantee con-sistency across all your communications tools, both on- and off-line. Let them get their hands on your website, Smart-phone or tablet application, brochures, pamphlets, prospectuses and magazines … and sit back as you watch them work miracles.

OUR VIDEO DEPARTMENT VIDEO, AN EASY AND EFFICIENT WAY TO ENGAGE WITH YOUR CLIENTS

WHY USE VIDEO CONTENT? ` Do your customers know how your products or services are being made? A behind-the-scenes video will do the trick.

` You know those case studies that are available on your website? Well, wouldn’t they be more attractive in video format?

` Want to give your customers some tips about how to use your product? Think video!

` Do you want to show the real faces behind your company’s success? A video interview is the perfect tool for doing just that.

` Video-based product tours can be used to describe your company’s products and services.

` And a monthly web TV broadcast is an excellent way of creating a regular appointment with your customers. These are just examples. Let’s have a chat and discuss how video can help you engage with your custo-mers!

Is video just a trendy tool?Nowadays, all websites feature video content. Not simply because it’s the latest trend, but also because it offers the most efficient way of engaging with your audi-ence. Watching video content demands far less effort than reading an article on-line, and it can consequently help boost conversion rates.

Professional broadcasting qualityUntil relatively recently, producing

video content required a pretty hefty budget. Today, however, anyone can af-ford it! A word of warning, though - video content must be both relevant and of the highest possible quality, so working with experts is absolutely vital.

The agency has introduced a number of well-defined and stringent processes to ensure you get the perfect result every single time.

Producing video content is a seven-stage process:

¨ The Brief. What is the pur-pose of the video? Do we need to adopt a promotional tone or a journal-istic one? Is the video a special report, an interview or a TV-style program? Are we talking about an ad or a viral video? Our editorial director will use his experience to identify how the video should look based on your spe-cific business needs.

¨ The Synopsis. As soon as the brief has been completed, our creative team drafts the synopsis.

¨ Preparing the shoot. The team contacts those who are due to be interviewed on-film and organises a “pre-interview” session. The aim of this session is to offer reassurance and take the drama out of the shoot.

¨ The Shoot. In most cases the shoot is a relatively small-scale affair: the editorial director and the video director are the only ones present. This not only helps keep the shoot in-budget but also ensures that those taking part don’t feel too intimidated. In some cases, however, more peo-ple are needed, such as when filming TV-style programs that require two or three cameras.

¨ Video editing. We begin by roughly editing the video in order to check the structure of the story, and then the finer editing is completed.

¨ Post-production. Graphics, lower-thirds, subtitles, music, etc. are all added during the post-production phase.

¨ Encoding and delivery. The “master” version of the video is then encoded ready for broadcast either on the web, in the point of sale, or via smartphones or tablets…

Our experiencePreviously employed as an editorial

director in an audio-visual press agency, Stéphane Hérès has devised and super-vised numerous video projects, including monthly and weekly Web TV broadcasts, an HR video platform for a leading French bank, reports for various clients such as educational organisations, and interviews for a real estate foundation.
