Pengen Consulting Services

Pengen Consulting was established to help businesses, organizations and associations in Oregon succeed through the use of electronic communications. We are experts on the usefulness of the Internet and separating what can actually be done by you today from the hype.

Some groups might benefit from setting up a conferencing area so that board members can hold online meetings in which no one has to leave their office and everyone has access to all the relevant materials; others might do the public an important service by putting up a World Wide Web page to give easy access to materials and ideas; nearly everyone will find resources useful to their operations on the Internet.

Our services include:

development, management and maintenance of online communications centers-- World Wide Web pages, online Bulletin Board areas, discussion sites. One of our recent projects is a web-based legislative reporting system for the Oregon legislature. You may check out the prototype by selecting the link, the user id is pengen, the password is Oregon. Another is a searchable, dynamically-updated data base of education jobs in Oregon. The design concepts for this project can be easily and economically translated to other web-based information exchange needs.
