Document Management - Sales Central Library

We developed the Sales Central Library for SAP Business Objects. It's an ASP.NET AJAX application that integrates with a Google Search Appliance to provide metadata or tag driven searching of documents along with full text search of document content.



Desktop Widget - MILO Lens

The MILO Lens is a desktop widget, very similar to an Adobe AIR application, that includes an RSS feed reader and integrates with a collection of web applications. Widgets are highly focused miniature applications that integrate web resources and infrastructure with the desktop.



Distributed eMarketing Content Management - Sales Central News Tool

Email newsletters and RSS feeds are great tools for communicating to groups of people. The Sales Central News Tool provides for distributed authoring and management of email newsletters and RSS feeds, using role based authorization to group users into Author, Editor, and Administrator roles, each of which is given different privileges and different responsibilities.



Employee Directory and Social Networking - Who's Who

When SAP Business Objects needed a friendly and powerful employee directory application, they came to Searchlight Group. We created Who's Who, a Peoplesoft integrated ASP.NET AJAX application with a bit of social networking thrown in, so that employees could find the right person, and learn a little bit about them as a person, in just a few clicks.
Additional skills:We bring skills and experience in a broad range of technologies, including:

ASP.NET AJAX, SQL Server - Extensive experience in both enterprise and small business

Sitecore CMS and Online Marketing - We are a Sitecore certified partner

Flash Media Server, Flash, Shockwave 3D, Director, Flex, AIR, ActionScript - Adobe technology platforms that enable both RIA applications and desktop integration

What Our Customers Say

"Adobe has relied on Searchlight for many years now. They’ve always provided high-quality work and fast response times. They require very little direction, and just seem to know what to do to get the job done, making it all look easy. They’re always there when I need them. I highly recommend the team at Searchlight."

"Searchlight has worked closely with myself and the marketing team at Business Objects. They have provided quick turnaround, they help out with any question or request when I need it, and provide knowledgeable talent that you can count on. All the details and changes are done with ease, even when they are faced with a steady stream of requests from myself and others. Searchlight is always responsive and handles the volume with ease and accuracy. They are very easy to work with and are consummate professionals."

- Christine Mykota, IT Marketing Manager, Business Objects
Work terms:We operate entirely in the US, and do not offshore anything. Offshoring is fine for others, but it's not for us.



We do most of our work offsite, but occasionally work onsite or travel when our clients can benefit from that. We generally communicate with our clients by phone, email, and web conferences. We live and breathe on the Internet.



We're a very lightweight and efficient group, and don't carry a the kind of baggage or overhead that a first-tier agency requires. No retainers, no hidden fees, etc. You only pay for the work we deliver.
