ORGANIZATION:
The Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:
There's a revolutionary new way to see historic Philadelphia - The
Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia ("The Constitutional"). Follow
in the Founding Fathers' footsteps with The Constitutional, a free and
fun-filled activity for the entire family. The Constitutional takes
visitors on a free self-guided walking journey through America's most
historic square mile - the birthplace of our nation. The Constitutional
lets visitors to Philadelphia step back in time to see where The
Declaration of Independence and The United States Constitution were
created. The 3-mile outdoor journey features more than 37 historical sites
in the Independence Mall area, including the Liberty Bell, Independence
Hall and the National Constitution Center.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE:
Develop a comprehensive, easy to use and interactive Web site showcasing
Philadelphia's historic treasures to the world. The Constitutional
needed a hosting solution and systems administration service that was
very affordable, always available, and extremely secure.
LINUXFORCE SOLUTION:
LinuxForce's Web Hosting and systems administration based on the Debian
GNU/Linux OS run The Constitutional website. The system is configured
to meet The Constitutional's initial requirements and to scale to
support future growth and development as one of the key players in the
Independence Mall area ecosystem.
RESULTS:
The Constitutional Walking
Tour of Philadelphia Web site is successfully providing visitors
with answers to their questions prior to their visits and with maps and
site descriptions to them through Philadelphia's historic area around
Independence Mall.
NOTABLE QUOTABLE:
"LinuxForce has been a cost effective and cost efficient outsourced
solution provider for The Constitutional. As The Constitutional is a
non-profit corporation, it is important to control costs. LinuxForce
enables us to keep costs down while maintaining a service that is always
available online to our customers. By engaging LinuxForce to host our
Web site and to perform the necessary system administration tasks, we
were able to devote our internal resources to building partnerships
with various constituents in the Independence Mall area including
the new National Constitution Center. LinuxForce is very customer
focused, and they make themselves available to us when we have a simple
question or complex application need, plus we no longer worry about The
Constitutional's Web site going down since they are always proactively
monitoring our systems."
