CHICAGO, March 17, 2008 — As Sierra Bravo opens an office in Chicago, the largest web development firm in Minneapolis furthers its Partner Program initiatives with a growing list of national and regional ad and marketing agencies — and their end clients.

Through its Partner Program, the web programmers, interface designers and database engineers of Sierra Bravo add sophisticated online functionality to the creative concepts of design and communication professionals at large ad agencies and boutique marketing shops.

“Our Partner Program creates a win-win-win situation for our clients, their end clients, and our unstumpable web developers,” said Sierra Bravo president Luke Bucklin. “We serve our Partner agencies by building websites that help their clients work smarter online while helping our Partners realize their creative vision in pixel perfect form.”

Sierra Bravo creates practical, business-minded web solutions that suit clients’ real world needs, including e-commerce and content management solutions.

Well versed in web programming, SEO, and developing database-driven applications, Sierra Bravo helps companies turn online visitors into customers by standing out on the web, integrating their online and offline marketing, and building online community.

“Our growing presence in Chicago gives our partner agencies the ability to deliver on whatever their clients want their website to be. Our partners know we’ll back them up and make it work,” said Bill Brakeman, Sierra Bravo’s vice president of sales. “Our tech-savvy nerds can work anywhere — virtually, but having a Chicago office will help us deliver the same level of personal service that has helped us excel in Minneapolis.”

Sierra Bravo is also working with partner agencies in Dallas and expects its successful Partner Program model to continue to take root in additional markets.

As creators of the F1 Overnight Website Challenge, Sierra Bravo got 88 volunteer web development pros to donate 24 hours to build free websites for 11 Minnesota non-profits — collectively valued at more than $200,000.

Web-Based Tool Vending Application

Our client distributes tools to manufacturing companies. They needed a customer-friendly, low maintenance and scalable tool distribution solution to their stocking and inventory challenges. We developed an application to support a programmable vending machine-like unmanned tool crib that made tools available to technicians without human interaction. This web-based application also tracks tools used by each technician and manages re-ordering and inventory control. Read the whole case study.
