Manatix Technologies B.V. - http://www.manatix.com

Manatix are a software house and consultancy that provide solutions to small, medium, and large scale customers, covering a range of their needs. Our focus is on Integration - the connecting of different systems so that information flows efficiently and accurately between them; for example, an existing store of information, and a newly implemented web portal, or CRM system. To do this, we need to understand the Customers business, and their data, so that we can turn this into Information that is of use to them.

We cover multiple industries, from Automotive to Publishing - there is no one market that can be identified as a target. The typical audience will be medium to large (enterprise) companies who work with large volumes of data - and the key reason we want to display a graphical respresentation is to clearly, visually describe how we interact with our clients to Business, i.e. non Technical customers. Please refer to our website for an example of how we have started to tailor information to Business and Technical Customers. http://www.manatix.com

Our customers are mostly within the EU, but as we grow, we are also targeting the US and later Asia.

Please note: white background only, and we will be looking to also feature the winning graphic not just on our web site, but also in print brochures as part of ongoing marketing. Further work would be available to the winning designer to potentially customise the design for different markets; we will also be holding a brochure competition following the completion of this one.

The file format should be .ai, .eps, or .psd.

We are seeking a graphic for our homepage at http://www.manatix.com that explains the following in a visual manner:

The relationship between our client and Manatix - that we assist them as a technology partner.

Integration - we connect different systems together, and we connect our client company and their customers.

Workflow - we bring order to the 'chaos' of clients systems and data.

We offer solutions tailored to the client company as they grow.

Our current website is a first revision, where we have attempted to tailor our information to Business and Technical customers. Some 'keywords' that we have the desire to portray are:

Connectivity (Integration)
Collaboration
Accuracy
Security
Flexibility

With respect to size, the content area of our website is set to be visible on a 1024px wide monitor. I have uploaded a very rough mockup of a possible update to our homepage that we were considering, with a placeholder graphic. In this instance, the width would be around 450 pixels, but, we are flexible, and ideas are welcome.With regards to use in a brochure, we can work with the winning designer for any adjustments that are required...

Some examples:
