Business Challenge In order to implement the idea, it was necessary to develop stable and secure web communication platform that would:

• Provide information about dozens of thousands of IT products from vendors, on the one hand, and IT solutions from thousands suppliers, on the other hand, to the benefit of all parties;
• Allow quick search and selection of the most appropriate IT products and solutions, as well as offer similar and complementary options;
• Allow projecting efforts, price and ROI for competing IT solutions based on multiple parameters provided by a user;
• Provide possibility to automatically compile presentations and proposals with selected IT solutions including solution description, price, schedule, ROI, etc. to be further presented to user’s decision makers.

The platform had to meet the following criteria:

• Security
• Fast data processing
• Scalability
• Multilanguage support
• Customizability
• Supportability

Solution During the project implementation, Agiliway has built a ROI4CIO platform on TYPO3 CMS with a number of custom modules that implement specific logic like ROI calculation or automatic solution search. The following tools/technologies have been applied:

• TYPO3 CMS as a platform that determines the structure of the system
• PHP and JavaScript for building basic functionality and complex internal architecture
• Semantic UI for developing the UI design
• MariaDB for quicker data processing

Value ROI4CIO platform developed by Agiliway is going to help our client

• to become a worthy competitor to already existing distributors of IT solutions on EU and CIS markets,
• to grow the number of partners,
• to provide an effective and one-of a kind tool for an end user to select potential IT solutions by modeling and comparing ROI.
