The Need

The International Center for Orthopaedic Exchange is a not for profit organization fostering the exchange of orthopaedic students across the world.  The initial version of the site did not provide enough metrics on the amount of exchanges occurring on the site.  ICOE needed a way to track and manage the exchange of students through the site.  Also, the administrative burden grew as the site grew and needed to be reduced through automation.

The Solution

Adage was selected to re-design the site both visually and technically.  We began by inspecting the current data model and interviewing ICOE administrators.  It was determined that getting to opportunities posted on the site were not easily accessed. Additionally, conducting searched of any type were time consuming and confusing.

Modeling the site after a job site, Adage designed the site to allow opportunity posters and position seekers obvious choices directly from the home page. Additionally, primary sponsors were given dedicated space on the home page.

Technically, Adage rearchitected the data model and site structure. Using the Microsoft .NET framework, Adage added specific login sections for Seekers, Listers, and administrative personnel. By segmenting the different views, the user can quickly ascertain their options once logged in resolving a problem of listers/seekers not able to complete a listing or application due to confusion.
