Galileo Interactive Business Navigator wins Applied Research Day 12.2
Posted on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2014
Galileo Galilei once said, “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”
Discovering truths about how businesses operate and make decisions, and providing a map of the key information about their network of suppliers, partners, processes, lines of business, distribution channels and customers was the goal of the Galileo Interactive Business Navigator project – an Applied Research project undertaken by Algonquin College students and faculty, along with client Global Advantage Consulting Group. The project took first place at today’s Applied Research Day 12.2.
Six students and two faculty members, including Adam Jarvis from the Interactive Multimedia Developer program worked on the Interactive Business Navigator project.
Taking second place at Applied Research Day 12.2 was an eCommerce website designed for Hummingbird Chocolate Maker. The site was designed using WordPress as their main platform, and using Shopify for their new online store.
In third was MicroMetrics Customer Insight Platform, a product that allows companies to survey customers in-store, rather than sending them home with a code on their receipt to use online.
Three times a year, Algonquin College students and employees, together with industry partners and professionals, come together for Applied Research Day. These projects span a variety of programs and business sectors, and aim to solve everyday challenges faced by organizations and individuals.
Over 25 projects, were displayed in Algonquin College’s Marketplace Food Court and shown to students, faculty, and employers looking for talented future employees and collaboration opportunities. The day ended with a short award ceremony for winning projects.
Applied Research Day will kick off another round of projects in 2015.
