SupportNet is a model Web site for
Purchasing & Supply Management support institutions (training, consulting,
information providers). The Web site is delivered as complete application
on CD ROM for installation with an Internet Service Provider. The
professional support institution will then just have to adapt the
application to their institution design (logo, colour scheme).
Uploading information to the "template"
pages will be done via user friendly entry masks or copy-and-paste
text/pictures from normal office software (word, powerpoint, etc.).
The model Web site contains all important
features to promote the institution to site visitors:
- information about the institution, its
partners and alliances
- promotion of and registration for
training programmes, materials, tools, etc
- promotion of and registration for
events, conferences etc.
- information about membership
- classifieds (jobs, equipment, vehicles,
etc.)
- institution news including email
newsletter facility
- bookmarks and links

The model Web site also contains special
features for members and/or collaborators:
- member registration
- working groups (sharing of documents,
communication, etc.)
- posting of "member only" programmes,
events, materials, tools, publications, etc.
Furthermore, SupportNet is especially
designed for users not knowing html or other Web design software. The
Website allows to build and manage databases easily. The institution thus
manages typical client activities (e.g. registration for events, requests
for information, etc.) and internal administration activities (e.g.
contact database, list of event participants) with one application -
SupportNet. The following will be automatically available to the
institution:
- Contact database (all people interested
in programmes, materials, events, news, etc.)
- Membership database (all members and
supporters)
- Events database
- Programmes & Services database
- Materials, tools and publications
database
