Third Light Services

Web Design and Integration

Many IMS customers use the service in conjunction with a separate business site. IMS itself can be thought of as a rich set of tools, which can be rebranded and used along side your web site. IMS is highly customisable and can closely integrated to give a seamless effect.

Having a professionally designed website can make your site stand out from the rest. That is why Third Light work in partnership with Siftware Ltd, designing and developing professional websites to achieve the image you want. They also fully integrate the IMS software onto your site: if you are looking for complete integration of your web site and IMS, this is the right option for you.

Integration and Migration Services

Almost all businesses have a legacy of storing images, meaning that starting on a new solution can seem to be a big change. By offering integration and migration services we aim to reduce the time needed, and make IMS as easy as possible to adopt.

Existing systems like web sites, content management systems or intranets may rely on an existing technology (or you may be looking to enhance them with a solution like IMS). We can evaluate how best to approach this integration work and help you make the systems come together gracefully. We have a wide range of tools and interfaces that can help us bring IMS online for you smoothly.
