ING DIRECT - www.ingdirect.com
Relevance: Providing ongoing web site maintenance and development, assisting in architecting and deploying J2EE-based solutions
Technologies: Java(J2EE), ASP, XML, XSLT

ING DIRECT's unique distinction is that they offer much higher interest on deposits, charge less on loans and never make you pay a fee or service charge. Because users do everything by Internet, phone, mail or the ABM, they save customers money.

Due to the successful nature of the three-year relationship, ING DIRECT has engaged Devtopia Digital to help redesign their underlying architecture based on a J2EE framework. In addition, Devtopia Digital has been engaged to develop several other key applications for ING, including a fraud system, an ecommerce engine, an outbound email engine, and 'touch-less' sign-up applications - allowing customers to open and fund an account with no human intervention.

GENESIS™ revealed that people buying insurance feel unprepared and uninformed when dealing with their brokers. Yield and Devtopia Digital redesigned the ING site from the user’s perspective. We used a Google-based back-end platform and created the site functionality around one word: SEARCH. Just like Google, the user would receive a scroll down of hundreds of rank-ordered responses to their query about any aspect of property and casualty insurance.

After 5 years it was time to re-fresh the 407 webpage to reflect the new consumer offerings and the new energy of the highway.

By concentrating these functions in distinct screen space, we were able to leave a large "advertising" space for promotions such as 407ETR Rewards and incentives for e-billing.
