Sylvain is the head of development and production at Cyber-Duck. He ensures clients enjoy cutting-edge yet proven technologies. CSS, Ajax, Flash, databases, and SEO are his titles but his official title is "The Guru". Sylvain is also Cyber-Duck's R&D manager and integrates 'new technologies' into projects. With an acute business sense similar to Bill Gates he makes sure web productions are delivered on time!
After a successful MSc in e-business and multimedia engineering, Sylvain worked for a french ISP as a project manager working on groupware and Web-based enterprise collaborative platforms. As a web coordinator, he helped the entertainment group Six Flags to reinforce its web-presence in Europe. With an international resume on par with Google founders, Sylvain worked in sunny Florida for 2 years as an e-commerce manager.
Sylvain reckons that websites should be integrated into a business / project plan as they can act as powerful marketing / data mining and business tools. Sylvain word of advice for Cyber-Ducks new clients:
"In the year 2007 a Website should be more than an interactive brochure... A website should include a CRM/CMS system maintain an instant flow of information to the user and to the business to increase conversion rates. I make sure our production becomes a successful e-business project targeting new audience and retaining existing users".
Sylvain's methodology about Planning and project management is very strict stating:
"I like to meet clients throughout the project lifecycle as every project is different and has new requirements. I enjoy defining project requirements with clients to ensure the project fits the brief and 100% fits into the original marketing strategy and business plan".
