Just as skyscrapers are supported by a steel framework, enterprise data systems are software frameworks created to handle high-level user engagements.

When buildings are constructed, scale, infrastructure and design are all important factors to consider. Creating your web presence is no different.

That’s where we come in; IES Group is a leader in the technology industry and we will play the role of architect to build your custom strategy into a reality.

Our Work

Challenge

How can you find out what’s happening on the web? IES was presented with a unique challenge: develop a content-driven application that allows users to find and upload content for a variety of topics. The platform needed to be robust enough to support content from multiple sources, while remaining flexible enough to be searchable by the everyday user. The site also needed to support and integrate social media.

Solution

IES Group created Diply, a web app that lets you browse and upload your favorite content. Diply collects images, videos and content from bloggers through user submissions. Diply has become a one-stop shop for everything from ways to reuse supplies, watch the funniest videos or find the best recipes and much more. Users have the option to log in using Facebook, Twitter or Google+ accounts, so they don’t have to create a site-specific username. From there, users can share what they find to their social media followings.

Challenge

Connex gave IES a key challenge. Their method for manually updating and maintaining Mental Health, Drug & Alcohol, and Problem Gambling treatment information required extensive manpower and removed the ability to provide real-time information. Due to the nature of the organization's volume of information changes, significant administration was required to ensure information accuracy. They needed a new system that would remove agency communication barriers and instill transparency in the treatment community, while ensuring secure information transfer.

Solution

IES Group designed, developed and installed a web-services layer connecting 3000 treatment professionals and the community. Working together, we implemented an effective change management process for their website that allowed changes to flow easily, while still providing for a human review process. In addition, Connex now has the ability to analyze agency information in real-time via an online reporting system to allow accurate timely decisions, and Ontario residents are receiving an improved responsiveness in their care.

Challenge

The Ford Motor Company mandated aggressive energy conservation targets of 5% reduction per year over a 5 year mandate objective.

Solution

Ford Motor Company engaged IES Group to implement sustainable energy efficiency programs supporting corporate conservation policies and targets, with the goal of reducing costs, and ecological footprint. IES Group implemented a "Total Utilities" measuring and monitoring program which allowed facilities staff to view a simplistic software dashboard providing real time utility usage throughout the 2 million square foot production facility. Understanding when and where energy is consumed allowed the facility engineers to pin point areas of excess consumption and to implement conservation measures through the facility.

Technology

Results

Ford Motor Company and IES Group achieved the mandated conservation goals and targets through monitoring and reporting of all utilities. Best practices of these types of conservation programs have been cascaded to all of Ford's production facilities supporting their corporate responsibility to reducing environmental impact.

Challenge

Designing a standard test platform that solves the conventional problem of testing various vehicle types, electric circuits and ECU's, and a steady flow of new options each model year is a complex task. Daimler leveraged IES Group's experience in the power electronics industry, where IES Group has been a demonstrated technology leader.

Solution

Automated electrical component testing is a challenge faced by all large vehicle manufactures, and is one of the top 10 warranty issues. Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA), a Daimler company, is the largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America and the leading producer of medium-duty trucks and specialized commercial vehicles. DTNA is the world's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer. In 2006, DTNA teamed up with IES Group to retrofit six plants, and 22 test systems in Canada, USA,
and Mexico with a three stage VET (Vehicle Electronic Test) platform.

Challenge

Large YouTube directors needed a new type of architecture to help them schedule video content and automatically communicate with social networks. Being able to store and manage massive amounts of Big Data is one thing; finding a way to store, categorize, monitize and serve it to site visitors is quite another.

Solution

Designed as gaming's video platform, G2PO.com was made to provide video content to gamers from video game developers, publishers, leading gaming news publications, and top independent video producers. Gamers will find trailers, gameplay videos, news, reviews, preview videos, as well as walkthroughs, commentary, satire and series videos.
