Bidwells Midas Contact Manager

Summer 2007

Over time, the introduction of several off-the-shelf solutions, had left Bidwells with duplicated contact data stored in many formats.  The off-the-shelf systems had not been well-used and had resulted in individual staff creating their own contacts lists in a variety of formats.  None of the information was shared and as a result Bidwells had not been leveraging the full potential of its contacts pool.

To address this issue, we were commissioned to develop a bespoke system to meet the precise needs of the firm; to consolidate all the contacts information in one system, that would be efficient, easy-to-use, accessible via a browser and built using industry standard technologies. The result, named Midas, provides Bidwells staff with a single, company-wide database for managing all of their contact information. The system has been very well received and is proving to be a great success. The system provides:

  • Attractive styling for a more user-friendly interface
  • A firm-wide contact communication hub
  • Accessible from anywhere
  • Ability for mass communication
  • Simple for people to use
  • Fast and easy searching of contacts via different criteria
  • Scalable solution to cope with the anticipated growth of the company
  • ASP.NET application provides a single point of upgrade, ensuring all staff are working with the latest version of the system every day
  • A dynamic and responsive interface through the use of AJAX technology
