They facilitate client teams, diagnose category spend, manage relationships with critical suppliers, conduct online auctions, manage procurement operations on an interim basis or provide partial or complete outsourcing services.

QP have used a dotEditor Corporate content management system as they felt that being a global company, it was vital to introduce a work-flow system whereby users from all over the world could update and maintain content on the site, whilst still allowing this content to be closely monitored and updates authorised by the group's marketing department.

Ellipsis have worked very closely with the QP Group from its initial formation and have a good understanding of the group's needs and objectives online.

Initially it was of paramount importance to produce an 'elastoplast' solution, whereby selected information from the many different corporate sites that existed could be pulled into one communal web presence. So at very little cost and to an extremely fast turnaround, a splash page was produced to link to the various aspects of the group. The links pointed to many of the existing static pages that were re-worked and updated to represent the companies current position. You can see this site at http://qp2.ellipsismedia.net .

Following this quick fix, a new content management site was commissioned to coincide with the company's re-branding exercise. It had also been decided at this point to spend a considerable amount of time researching the required content for the new site and therefore it was decided to apply another temporary site which included the new brand guidelines in readiness of the global annual general meeting. This time an entirely new microsite was produced which can be seen at http://qp3.ellipsismedia.net.
