Work We've Done
Our team has worked with brands from startups to enterprises in DC, the US and abroad. We like to work for people who are trying new things, working on a human scale, and have passion for quality.
We help you reach your business goals. Period. Leave it to us to work out the rest: the process (agile), the medium (web, mobile), the time (ASAP), the technology (PHP, Ruby on Rails, iPhone/iPad, Google Android). Don’t take our word for it. More than 100 clients worked with, over the past 8 years, say this. Our clients have been featured on CNN, Inc500, The Huffington Post and have been accelerated towards growth and sometimes acquisition.

Ignited Discovery Website and E-Discovery Grid
We developed custom e-discovery data processing to integrate with a custom grid computing platform and other applications for Ignited Discovery, an e-discovery services company, resulting in exponential increase in e-discovery throughput.
We helped to implement high performance process optimizations using a custom grid computing architecture. UVision also enabled better customer management and content management solutions to help Ignited Discovery grow and better handle larger projects and growing customer needs. UVision also redesigned and implemented Ignited Discovery’s website using Drupal. In 2009, Ignited Discovery was awarded the Inc500 recognition by Inc. Magazine rating the top 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America. Achieving an astonishing growth rate of almost 700 percent in just three years, Ignited Discovery has seen revenue leap from $343,340 in 2005 to some $2.7 million in 2008. This remarkable curve has easily secured Ignited a place on the vaunted list, where it joins prominent companies like Microsoft, Timberland, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Oracle, and Under Armor. The progressive e-Discovery company also went on to rank 34th amongst all businesses in the Washington, DC metro area.
Ignited’s founders consult with us on IT problems, technology solutions and integration strategies. Recently in September 2011, we were proud and happy to hear Ignited Discovery was acquired by Navigant Consulting.

RDB Online TV Experience Web Platform
RDB, originally from UK, is an international recognized and highly talented DJ / production group that have come to dominate Bollywood and South Asian music entertainment as highly-sought after artists for more than 10 years. RDB has always been innovative in connecting with fans across the globe and now wanted to push the envelop with fresh ideas and strategies such as an engaging experience for their fans and more social media engagement to attract higher end sponsors and bigger production and movie deals.
In 2010, RDB was seeking to grow it’s brand presence in the United States mainstream market and position itself to align itself with more western acts especially in the hip-hop world. Snoop Dogg had already partnered with RDB to produce, Singh is King, the Bollywood blockbuster of the year in 2008 by the time RDB hired us.
After assessing RDB’s current situation and defining the strategic vision, we helped RDB optimize it’s strategy and launch new initiatives for both offline and online goals through branding elements including photography, supplied by our friend Douglas Sonders of Sonders Photography and 8112 Studios along with a sleek, social integrated AJAX video browsing website to channel the “RDBTV” experience using vimeo as a video delivery service. We also manage their scalable cloud hosting powered by WordPress and custom plugins.

National Geographic Internal Brand Audit Multi-Blog
We helped National Geographic transform brand audit survey data, which came from a Survey Monkey data set, into a WordPress Multi-site network blog to allow anyone from National Geographic’s staff to post comments to feedback given on the survey responses. We did this by rapidly transforming the data files into a form compatible with WordPress multi-site blog API and content models. By creating blog posts for staff to read and comment on, more feedback on brand perception was assessed in an anonymous open forum in the National Geographic intranet.
