After analysing the requirements, CDP built the database and associated web pages for the Registration Module for the Volvo Ocean Race website.
This module allows users to register, and then to log on to specialist areas of the site via the Microsoft Active Server Pages web interface. Registered users can then access a variety of special services, such as a 3D 'Virtual Spectator' view of the race, discussion groups and SMS alerts.
The database design enables Volvo to generate demographic and statistical information as web-based reports. XML based interfaces are used to provide information to partner companies.
The module was delivered exactly to schedule, including 2 weeks of rigorous testing after the final development freeze. The site is now active. Race start date - 23 September 2001.
