The web is rapidly growing by the day – Facebook recently announced they have 500 million users…
We believe that the online platform has opened up a new door of growth opportunity for businesses.
Companies need to evaluate, rethink and create new operational strategies to use the ever-expanding web as a fast-moving vehicle for business growth. We assist companies with that process: Developing ONLINE Business Administration Systems (OBAS) custom designed according to each business’ processes.
What is an OBAS?
An OBAS is a system that lives on the internet. It can be used for administrative tasks in any business or even to run the entire business logic. An OBAS allows you to remain on top of your business and its operations without you being office-bound. It replaces the conventional third-party, free-standing software applications that have been used in previous years.
The systems we develop fit around the way you do things – not you having to fit the software.
How it can BENEFIT your company
It allows quick access to all client / business related information from any location in the world where there is internet access
Easy and cost-effective to maintain
Reduces duplicate data, improves efficiency and provides a high level of data integrity
Automation of certain business tasks
Automated backups and storage of all data on the system
Instant reporting with graphs
Integration with online payment transactions
So much more…
What our clients say
We recently received brilliant feedback from one of our main clients, PSG Konsult, about the online business systems we developed.
“Web-based systems enabled PSG Konsult to deliver a client centric CRM platform to its financial planners and assistants, spread throughout approximately 200 offices in South Africa, on a cost effective and centrally managed web-based platform. Effectively delivering a platform catering for multiple financial disciplines, including data imports from varied product providers, whilst maintaining tight security and control of client details proved a challenge that Liquid Edge accepted eagerly.
Our partnership with them in this development (which is one of many other mission critical systems they have developed for us) proved to be greatly beneficial for both parties.
They have truly enabled our business for future growth and created a sustainable, long term platform off which we can leverage.” - Pieter Rousseau, Chief Information Officer: PSG Konsult LTD
It is your web presence in general that can give your business the edge and show your savvy. Social media has indeed transformed the way people communicate to such an extent that it has become a discipline in its own right: “Socialnomics” is the term for this revolutionary movement coined by Erik Qualman, who has written a book with the same title.
A new social media research report by Universal McCann provides ample evidence of this universal trend:
< 73% of online users read a blog. – What are they reading about your business?
< 57% join social networks. – Is your business represented on these networks?
< On average there are 3 000 000 tweets on Twitter every day. – What are they saying about your business?
< 83% has viewed a video online. – Is there any footage of your business?
< Facebook has 400 million private users and 300 million business users. – Do you have a Facebook business profile?
Do you still need to be convinced of the potential power and relevancy of social media for your business? read more…

The war continues between Blackberry, well-known business phone and the smart iPhone from Apple. See the two brilliant adverts on what Blackberry thinks and how Apple responds to it in another advertisement.
See how Blackberry comes out with a slick advertisement for their Blackberry touch phone and then Apple comes back with another even slicker advertisement to beat that one. A must see !! A little healthy competition usually brings out the best in a product or brand.
With the war between these super giants it’s definitely evident that the consumers are the real winners.
Volkswagen developed a TV style ad to promote their new website in the UK. www.volkswagen.co.uk
The advert is very inspiring as it brings TV advertising and Web design together as one unity. From the music to the casting everything comes together to capture and communicate this idea in an engaging way. To me this is the magic of great communication because it feels like it “just happens”. Nobody is getting caught up in a line of copy or if this ad is selling hard enough. The other bit of magic that isn’t happening enough these days is the seamlessness between online and offline efforts.
Volkswagen’s advert brings the concept of building a car and building a website together in an excellent way!
Each year, we flip over the hourglass and, once again, we have everything in front of us. A new year gives us a clean slate, a chance for change and encouragement to evolve the way we do things. In the past, we’ve yielded to client and user requests to pack our website designs full of unrelated features and countless pages of duplicate information. The change we have been waiting for has come – our users have matured.
Going live is always a cause for well-deserved celebration.
For us, the launch of our new Liquid Edge website and blog is the exciting culmination of a challenging yet rewarding process. It is when all of the hard work put in by many different parties truly pays off. The Liquid team has been working around the clock to design a cutting edge website that represents everything we are. Simply on another level of quality!
