It all started with one guitar. A red Fender, in fact, donated by its owner, Eric Clapton. Now it’s the largest and, yes, most valuable music memorabilia collection on the planet – 70,000 (and counting) rock ’n’ roll icons, from a lock of hair to a five-ton psychedelic bus. And for the first time, you can see the whole thing in one place and in mind-boggling detail. Using Microsoft Silverlight 2 Deep Zoom, Vertigo, in partnership with our friends at Duncan/Channon, created an unparalleled solution to view and interact with Hard Rock’s memorabilia.

Collaborating with Microsoft's Developer Platform Evangelism (DPE) team, Vertigo created the MIX 2009 and PDC 2008 event web sites. These websites are key digital experiences for two of Microsoft's most important conferences that reach out to the web, design, and development communities. Vertigo created the sites as well as a platform to enable the sites to be easily updated and maintained.

Some key features include:
• Live streaming of keynote
• Social media integration (Twitter, Flickr, etc…)
• Blog/RSS driven content management system

The sites stay fresh by dynamically updated content and using the latest Microsoft technology including Silverlight 2, Deep Zoom, ASP .NET 3.5, and SQL Server 2008.

Vertigo created a Microsoft Silverlight 2 application that streamed HD-quality video, live and on demand from the 2008 Democratic National Convention, which took place on August 25 to 28 in Denver, CO.

Vertigo created an immersive experience that provided viewers the opportunity to experience the convention events live. Did you miss part of the event? No problem. The application stored all the recorded events which could be viewed, on-demand, from a searchable video archive. Check out our DNCC page for more information.

That was the fundamental challenge Vertigo tackled for Niemann Capital Management. Niemann, a money management firm, needed a web application that could automate complex business processes such as customer account management, billing, reporting, compliance, and investor return analysis, while they simultaneously accommodated other money managers with these same processes. The goal was to enable the company’s market gurus the ease to handle more accounts in a more effective and timely fashion and grow profitability. With the Online Advisor system collecting, cleaning and reconciling data from multiple financial custodians, Niemann managers now enjoy a reliable, complete and real-time view of their clients’ holdings. After 18 months of intensive development, a team of four Vertigo engineers has now been engaged to ensure Niemann remains ahead of the curve by developing Online Advisor 2.0.
