State Bar of Wisconsin
State Bar of Wisconsin looked to SusQtech to transform the entire www.wisbar.org site and their existing Commerce solutions through implementation of Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Commerce Server 2009. The existing ColdFusion site required a complete re-brand and re-engineer of the existing content structure, organization and functionality. Because of the powerful integration between SharePoint and Commerce Server and the ability to use the Microsoft platform’s infrastructure to integrate data and transactions with iMIS, SusQtech and State Bar of Wisconsin began a joint partnership to roll-out new features/functionality incrementally, starting with the implementation of Commerce Server, Member Portal (for personalization) and integration with iMIS.
As a Phase II, SusQtech and State Bar of Wisconsin will fully implement SharePoint 2010 to replace the existing CMS and re-develop existing ColdFusion applications in the SharePoint framework in order to deliver a unified, global site experience.
American Osteopathic Association
The American Osteopathic Association (AOA) needed to update and merge its two websites for the public and members to enable staff to more efficiently update the content and members to more easily access information most important to them. Because AOA represents more than 78,000 osteopathic physicians (DOs) in the U.S., it was important for their members and staff to stay connected, collaborate efficiently and maintain an easily accessible website.
AOA chose SusQtech and the SharePoint 2010 platform to improve the value provided to their members. As a result, the viewership of their website, www.osteopathic.org, surpassed the two previous sites combined and, specifically, site traffic to the newly built section for the Annual Meeting increased exponentially. “Once we released the new site built on SharePoint 2010, the Annual Meeting section of the site became one of the most visited parts of our website, even sometimes exceeding the popular ‘Find a DO’ feature,” Brooke Johnson, Web Content Manager explained.
AOA considers SusQtech a valuable partner that understands not only SharePoint technology, but also the needs of both AOA staff and AOA members.
Wallace Foundation
SusQtech designed and implemented a robust Content and Document Management Portal Solution for the Wallace Foundation.
Wallace’s online focus is largely on e-learning and knowledge transfer. The new Wallace Foundation portal makes available the extensive library of research articles and studies conducted by the Foundation. Educational institutions, government agencies and organizations related to educational grants are able to access and share this information to improve processes. The portal makes extensive use of complex targeting, based on the knowledge center information most relevant for the current user’s profile. Wallace Foundation content authors and publishers can also view advanced reporting information related to which documents specific types of users downloaded the most frequently.
Other dynamic features were incorporated including a Most Popular rollup that displays items with most hits over the last 30 days and a Notable Quotable that's managed via a list with defined topics and is displayed throughout those sections based on defined tags. The site can be viewed at www.wallacefoundation.org.
National Defense Industrial Association
NDIA looked to SusQtech to launch their main website and all affiliate sites on a single SharePoint platform. The focus for this

The event schedule and content is the center of the user experience. NDIA has launched their main site at www.NDIA.org and their magazine site at www.NationalDefenseMagazine.org. There is content syndication between the main NDIA and National Defense Magazine sites. This project also features integration with Avectra and a2z for exhibitor management.
