Levi Strauss & Co.
Levi's® Loop
We have started a new project rebuilding the Levi's® Loop website.
This project had to interact with user data located at a 3rd party company. The solution
we implemented was to use .Net MembershipProviders and customizing the providers to consume the
exposed web services by the 3rd party company to interact with the user data. This allowed
us to have an in-depth look into the providers and see how they can be customized for this
functionality. Seeing that we will do this again, we developed a library that generically
integrates to this company and will allow multiple programs to use this KastimProvider to
talk to external systems for user data interaction.

Flat/Room sharing, directory listing and travel packages
We have launched our first phase of this project. The website allows you to list all types
of accomodation (from flat sharing, holiday and property rentals to property sales. You can
also submit your business in the national directory listing all at no cost. An events calendar allows
you to keep up to date with events in and around your area. A range of galleries covering events
will also keep you entertained. You can view the site by visitng www.gayshare.co.za

Website, Content Management, Document Management System
We were approached to develop a content management system which allows this company to manage
all the content on their website, from basic articles to streaming audio and video. They have many
different congregations world wide and needed a way for the pastors and leaders to log in and
manage/share marketing material and sermon data with each other internally. The product allows for
recordings of sermons to be uploaded to different categories and different congregations has different
users with their own access rights. They can then upload documents for each configured congregation
for leaders to log in and get this material to use for marketing purposes via the developed document
management system. Utilising a custom developed media remoting system, we allow for large data transfer
of audio and video to be stored on servers in the US and article content on local servers, allowing
the company to save on bandwidth usage costs by bypassing local bandwidth restrictions and incurring
minimum costs by utilising this method.
