Toronto, ON – ObjectSharp Consulting is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a major contract by the Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG). The work involves the redevelopment and redesign of WEG’s five key websites (including the Woodbine and Mohawk race tracks). Objectsharp along with 8 other companies were put through a rigorous evaluation process by WEG’s Vendor Selection Team. At the end of the day, ObjectSharp ‘won the race going away'.
“We all felt that ObjectSharp had the best combination of technical experience and creative capabilities,” said Jason Redding, WEG’s Website Manager. “Our website redevelopment project is based on using Microsoft’s advanced SharePoint and Silverlight technologies. It was clear to us that ObjectSharp had the best experience and the deepest understanding of the potential of these products. So we are delighted to have ObjectSharp as our Partner on this project.”
ObjectSharp partnered with Digiflare; specialists in creative design and development solutions using Microsoft’s Silverlight. Together with ObjectSharp’s development and technology experience, these two companies formed a powerful combination that finished first in WEG’s vendor selection process.
“We have been working with Microsoft’s SharePoint technology for over two years, and with Silverlight for almost as long," said Michael Green, President & CEO of ObjectSharp. "As a result, we now know what is possible to do with these technologies, and more importantly, how to do it well. So we are delighted that WEG has selected us to be their Partner in helping them to redesign and redevelop their customer-facing websites." He added, "We have been anticipating the start of this project for some time. So our development team and project plan are already in place. Now we are ‘away to the races’!”
