Spotlighting Fretted Americana

The vintage guitar specialists at Fretted Americana enlisted the help of Imagistic to implement a new HQ feature on their Drupal-based website. Imagistic President, Kevin Howard Goldberg, headed the project. He explained, “After taking over the maintenance of the Fretted America site, we were excited to help enhance the sales and marketing effort by highlighting their HQ feature.” The goal was to spotlight guitars on display in various rock and roll restaurant establishments throughout the United States.

ATLA Powers Up Issue Retrieval Automation

After a successful first iteration of ATLA’s automatic issue retrieval tool, Imagistic was greenlit to build an enhanced version in early 2018. Kevin Howard Goldberg, Imagistic President, outlined the process. "After the client was able to use the original automation tool successfully, reallocating internal resources from needing to find and download issues to other tasks, they decided to improve and extend the tool significantly for version 2.0." 

The initial version of the tool was designed to go to the publisher's website and download issues. Version 2.0 was designed to take this a step further, extending the capability to support publisher issues that were uploaded to an internal FTP drive. Additional challenges that were addressed included parsing XML documents to uncover metadata and using ZIP technology to extract the uploaded files. This version was launched in March 2018.

ATLA and Imagistic Team for Issue Retrieval Tool

In 2017, Imagistic was enlisted by the American Theological Library Association (ATLA) to build a proof of concept for an issue retrieval system of published scholarly content. The idea was to provide an easy-to-use way to teach the system how to find and download a publisher’s most recent issue on their website. With a definition of frequency, the tool would automatically look for and download the most current issue from the publisher’s website, whether it was one or many PDFs. Once the proof of concept was approved, Imagistic was greenlit to build out the full application on top of the Drupal content management system; the full application launched July 2017. 

“One of the more critical features of this system was defining a set of reusable and orderable instructions for the automation to execute on a daily basis,” explained Kevin Howard Goldberg, Imagistic President. “But the most challenging feature was the interface which teaches the system how to dynamically navigate each publisher's website and find the most current issue.”

Apex Systems Goes SOLR

When Apex Systems grew unhappy with the service, response time, and flexibility of their third-party job search management application, they enlisted the team at Imagistic to develop an effective solution. Imagistic analyzed other third-party job search options, but ultimately found the answer in-house at Apex Systems. Another division within the company wrote a SOLR-based application that provided the fundamental behind-the-scenes tools, while Imagistic developed the essential front-end management of the search and display for users. These efforts kept all critical job search software within the Apex structure, reducing costs and ensuring a smooth integration between the site and the applicant tracking system (ATS).

“It was a somewhat complex workflow because the data touches a few applications once it comes out of their ATS (Bullhorn),” Imagistic President Kevin Howard Goldberg explained. “However, this change has already proven beneficial. Bringing this technology in-house was not only more cost-effective, but has enabled a much quicker turnaround for recent enhancements of the search and user experience.”

Apex Systems Website Thoroughly Reimagined

When Apex Systems needed a full website update, they partnered with Imagistic to design and implement the transformation. Imagistic employed UX strategies to completely redesign site navigation and prioritization. Part of the process was reincorporating a Wix-built divisional website back into the main structure of the site, in addition to refreshing site animation, color schemes, and other navigational elements. 

Two teams were formed to facilitate the design process: A smaller marketing team and a larger team of 25 people representing various departments within the company. Imagistic wanted to ensure voices were heard and that architecture, page layout, callouts, and site structure supported the specific business needs of each department. 

As part of the redesign, Imagistic wrote a custom event management and registration system with multiple timed email notifications, in addition to supporting host event surveys and event recording uploads for views by registrants. They included hooks for integration with their applicant tracking system to connect event registrants with their applicant tracking records.

"The website had been performing below expectations for a few years and Marketing looked to Imagistic for a refresh without wanting to impact the user experience negatively,” explained Kevin Howard Goldberg, Imagistic President. “For this redesign, we focused on architecting a user experience to clearly speak to the needs of their many business and corporate audiences.”

Apex Systems Transitions to Pay Transparency

In response to the new pay rate range transparency laws that went into effect on January 1, 2023, Imagistic moved quickly to help Apex Systems become compliant within their job search application. Apex and Imagistic teams worked together to adjust the existing APIs to support the requisite pay rate range information being pulled from the Bullhorn ATS (applicant tracking system). As well, additional logic was added to the website to remove any jobs from search results and display that did not meet the transparency requirements. 

Kevin Howard Goldberg, Imagistic President, noted in response to the tight time frame for this project, “We were able to complete the necessary customizations for Apex in less than a month by leveraging a rapid agile cycle, and writing code and test cases nearly in parallel.  This accelerated process, enabled us to get the updates live, and ensure that the website was compliant on time.”

Resource Options Gets an Upgrade

Resource Options, Inc. (ROI) is focused on providing nationwide staffing solutions for construction, design, environmental, and emergency response services. After a recent upgrade of its Bullhorn applicant tracking system, Resource Options required a significant modification to their website to ensure smooth communication between Bullhorn and the existing API. Imagistic updated a custom Drupal module with a job search system built in Angular. All existing job codes and categories needed to be cross-referenced to updated category and code structures to ensure a seamless migration of data and a successful launch.

“Given the size and scope of the upgrade, we were able to successfully deploy a new version of the website and API code with very few technical or development issues,” Imagistic president Kevin Howard Goldberg stated. He further explained, “The quality assurance effort was extensive and thorough.” 

This project was completed in partnership with Larry Hemley of S.J. Hemley Marketing.

Imagistic Relaunches Multiple Properties for On Assignment

Starting in November 2016, Imagistic has been working with the executive marketing team at On Assignment to relaunch the company's web site https://www.onassignment.com/, intranet and investor relations portal. All three properties were skinned with the same forward thinking design developed by La Visual. The web site is built with the Drupal content management system to simplify site and content management, and leverages Twitter's responsive Bootstrap JavaScript framework. The intranet is currently a static HTML site which may be upgraded in the future, and the investor relations portal was developed in a system managed by Global Corporate Solutions a division on NASDAQ. "Although all three properties are for the same company and team, each had its own unique set of challenges," explained Imagistic president, Kevin Howard Goldberg who was also hired to be the overall technical project manager. "But having each system conceptually and practically unified under a single organizational umbrella has allowed us to unify the corporate branding, and will allow us to extend the systems with greater ease in the future."
