Case Study
Client Overview
Project Challenge
ResearchRaven hired Niche Tank to plan and develop a sophisticated database that would allow researchers and medical professionals to query research related information easily. The website would need to automatically provide the information in different formats such as RSS feeds, email subscriptions and PDFs. ResearchRaven should be easy to share via email and social media websites. Finally the website's data should be organized and updatable via a secure content management system.
Solution
Niche Tank designed a website that is not only extremely easy to use but also accessible to different devices and users with disabilities or accessibility requirements. Researchers are able to perform advanced searches to filter the data they are looking for. PDFs of each entry are automatically generated and formatted allowing visitors to take data with them.
Niche Tank utilized NicheCMS in order to develop and execute a scalable repository of research related data. The result is a system that is extremely easy to update and maintain.
Since ResearchRaven deals with thousands of records the administration tool is searchable and well organized . Custom tools were developed for ResearchRaven in order to maximize efficiency byrefining processes that could easily be tedious or inefficient.

Testimonial
Ours is a scientific endeavor that requires a high level of conceptualization as well as professionalism. It was our goal to provide research information services to facilitate the work of clinicians, health researchers, academics, students and scientists within our own organization and around the world. We started with a simple idea that grew into ScanGrants.com, an extensive listing of funding opportunities that is now used extensively by people around the world. That endeavor led to another venture as well, ResearchRaven.com. Without Niche Tank’s astute observations and understanding about Web site design specific to the world of science, our endeavor to advance health research would not have been embraced to the degree that it has by the clinical and scientific world. Niche Tank has served our scientific and professional needs beautifully, with patience and vision. We are delighted with his work.
