Web mail application for interactive kiosk company
The Client
Yava Limited sets up Internet kiosks featuring a wide range of media content, including sport, news, shopping, reviews and betting. The kiosks employ high end IBM business PC’s with Windows 2000 and other bespoke management software. The content is Flash driven and gives the user an extremely enjoyable experience.
The company was seeking to extend its services by adding web based e-mail systems to its range of websites.
The Development Challenge
This particular project required a skill base crossing over many programming disciplines including XML, Java, PHP, Flash and html.
