Ordering System - Superlative Printing

Glenn Walker — Tue, 08 May 2007 08:42:54 -0400

Firefly recently completed work on a web-based ordering application for Superlative Printing. Superlative Printing is a Stoughton-based print broker whose clients include area hospitals and financial organizations.

When these organizations run low on medical or administrative forms they phone Superlative for replenishment. The new browser-based system enhances the ordering process by allowing Superlative Printings' clients the ability to easily view and order the forms they need.

Starting a Small Business Group

Glenn Walker — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 12:22:07 -0400

I'd like to start a small business group within the Boston area. The focus of the group will be to discuss anything related to owning and operating a small business, including but not limited to challenges/solutions, best practices, technologies, etc. I'd like to keep the group small at first, maybe less than 10 members and have a variety of different, non-competing businesses represented. Members must be the actual business owners and I'd like the group to meet once every two weeks for 1-2 hours, preferably after business hours. If you're interesting in joining please contact me. To find out more about my business, visit www.fire-flytechnologies.com.

Welcome to the new Firefly Blog

Glenn Walker — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:56:27 -0400

To be honest it's my second go-around. I tried blogging a few years ago, but due to time constrains of running my web company, Firefly Technologies, I wasn't able to give the blog the attention it deserved.

My goals for this blog is to join-in and when possible add to the conversation of how businesses can effectively leverage the web to improve and grow their businesses. And from more of a self-promotional perspective, as a web marketing strategy to improve visibility and rankings within the search engines for my website and my clients' websites.
