DMAC now has a technical web site (dmac-unibase.wisecarver.com) and a sales/marketing web site (dmac-unibase.com). Both sites are open to the general web. Internally a third web site (support.dmac-unibase.com) exists.

Explaining why DMAC has three sites will probably help our clients in this ICE (Internet Changes Everything) age.

The development team set up the internal web site as a Novell web site. This site was used to test our internal Domain Name Server. Links to LINUX and Silicon Graphics help files, and Novell Developer CD-ROMs were added. Along came DMAC's Linda Dimick from support who wanted to test items she sent to the sales/marketing web site.

Quickly Linda built a duplicate of the sales/marketing web site. Development found a search engine for their web site. Linda wanted the search engine. It would not run at the then current host which was running an early version of LINUX. Linda moved her duplicate web site to wisecarver which runs Windows NT. Now web site searches are possible.

All year the contract support people for the sales/marketing web site have been too busy to update the site. They promise to do so soon. Even the Summer, 1999, newsletter was not posted in 1999. Sales remembers when the technical people's web site was ugly. They do not wish to join forces.

Development people want there own site for testing - no connectivity problems when it crashes.

Technical support people want the technical site to answer all questions clients might have.

So now we can report progress by listing which site has the latest information. Normally this would be, in order, development site, technical site, sales/marketing site.
