Tienjin: Technology & Security

DMGT Opportunities is the recruitment website for all the companies within the Daily Mail & General Trust group (a group of around 100 organisations, including the Evening Standard and the Daily Mail). DMGT required us to transform their existing recruitment website, and the result is a fully-featured, fast and secure website, with a simple yet eye-catching design.

The site features the following:

• Basic and advanced searching of jobs
• Control over vacancies database for all HR managers within the group
• CV upload and storage facility for candidates
• Candidate profiles allowing applications to be submitted online
• Company and vacancy details editable by non-technical staff
• Fast and scalable database and hosting solution

This site is a mixture of an e-commerce site, a blog, and a content-driven site, and also features two different types of polls. The concept for the site was to provide the client (Simple cosmetics) with a new means of engaging directly with their end customers, and to drive their marketing effort by recruiting "advisers" and increasing word-of-mouth marketing. Tienjin built the polls system, the e-commerce components, and integrated the other parts of the site (the blogs and other content) which were developed by another company. We also created a comprehensive back-end system to allow the client to monitor sales and administer the polls. The billing engine was supplied by WorldPay, and integrated by Tienjin.

The Internet Safety Survey 2006 is a questionnaire designed for school-age children to complete. The results were analysed by Sussex University on behalf of Microsoft, in order to increase safety and security for children online by discovering current behaviour patterns in the demographic.

The questionnaire features control mechanisms for school teachers and was developed specially to protect the identities of the children responding to the survey, for example so that the childrens' answers could not be traced back to their individual identities.

The "Back The OU" website was set up by the Open University to campaign against a £30m funding cut. This project was worked by Tienjin on together with the agency Edelman. As well as static content and an attractive, straightforward design, the site includes a "Join Us" sign-up point, and an AJAX-driven tool which allows users to find out about and to lobby their MP.

ISC Research specialise in providing a range of marketing tools together with a very comprehensive market database in the international education sector. This site provides ISC's clients with tools to conduct and save very detailed searches through the market, to view detailed information on the result sets, and then to create mailing labels, pre-printed letters, and marketing emails for the result sets. The site is managed by a team of researchers who use an online suite of tools also developed by Tienjin to update the database and manage customers.

Abacus Debt Management Ltd are a firm providing debt management plans to people who are in debt and in a difficult, if not impossible financial position. The website takes client registrations and allows financial information to be entered confidentially. The client can then use their "debt management plan" without ever having to speak to someone on the phone, which can be difficult for people in this position. We also developed a large number of back-office tools to allow the process of dealing with clients' creditors to be automated and for the business to operate successfully round the clock without the overhead of a large office operation.

The Corporate Responsibility Questionnaire is designed to allow senior managers within DMGT to report back on various aspects of the business. All responses are collated by the website and sent to a central resource automatically in Microsoft Excel format. Different parts of the questionnaire would be delegated to different managers, so the structure had to be flexible. In addition, previous responses had to appear in certain parts of the questionnaire, and some questions had to appear depending on answers given. These questions were dynamically created in Javascript, and previous answers populated by "AJAX" requests.
