Information Concepts implemented the new C-SPAN.org website based on templates that were created for C-SPAN.   These templates allowed Information Concepts to access the stories and video from a database as opposed to the original static content.   In addition, Information Concepts designed and created a content management application to allow creation and editing of program information.  Information Concepts also created a new SQL Server 2000 database and data model for this application and created the new website and administrative application. 

Information Concepts built a public facing website, www.c-spanclassroom.org, that allows educators to rate video clips, add comments, and share them with other educators. This site also includes information on the U.S. Government that educators can use in their teaching.  Data displayed on the public website is entered via an intranet web site, which was included in the delivery.  

Gannett hired Information Concepts to migrate custom BRIO reports generated in Gannett’s Enterprise Data Management System to SQL Reporting Services. During the effort, Information Concepts created parameter screens to collect and distribute report data, developed stored procedures, provided SQL Reporting Services Report Definitions, and created baseline to help Gannett roll-out SQL Reporting Services organization wide.

Information Concepts developed the National Public Radio (NPR) Carriage system, a reporting and survey application that allows member stations to submit their program schedules to NPR via the Internet for review and analysis.  Member stations across the United States transmit data through a Web-based application. 

Information Concepts was responsible for reengineering the Carriage system used by the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) to track and perform complex analysis of PBS member station program schedules.  Designed as an Web application, Carriage allows users to review data, perform analysis, and request reports generated using Excel Automation.  

Information Concepts developed a Web-based video search engine for the PBS Web site, www.pbs.org.  The search engine enables PBS users to perform searches for full text descriptions of video clips from PBS programs.  Information Concepts developed searching, transaction management, and administrative functions for this application.

For the Public Broadcasting Services (PBS), Information Concepts developed the Overnights system, which is used to manage and analyze the Nielsen Overnight ratings for all PBS programs broadcast in the 40-plus markets with PBS member stations.  The system collects and parses nightly feeds of program ratings data from Nielsen’s Galaxy System, writes it to a database, allows the information to be compared to data in another database maintained by PBS, and then processes the information for complex reporting and analysis use by the PBS Research Department. 

Information Concepts developed a web-based application to allow independent labels to maintain their database of recordings and artists.  This application allows the RIAA to supplement their database of recordings from the 5 major record labels.  

Information Concepts designed an application that allowed washingtonpost.com to quickly deploy new on-line databases on the washingtonpost.com site.  Using an authoring component, Washington Post staffers defined the database and user interface to the data through a web-based application.  

Information Concepts developed Performance Rights System for XM Radio which processes every song played from each of XM’s 100 channels.  This system allows XM Radio to pay the appropriate royalties to performers.  

Information Concepts developed a complete training program for the PBS Redbook application. The program included in person training, recorded webinars and a unique demo environment that could be installed on end-users machines. The training program focused on hands-on time and used multimedia assets throughout.
