Company Profile

Star Internet was set-up in 1995 and has, from the outset, been focused on providing solutions to the business sector.

Star is now established as a leading Internet provider to the business community with over 1000 business-only customers. Winner of the Internet product of the Year at the Networking Industry Awards in both 1997 and 1999, Star has a strong pedigree in product development and is committed to being at the forefront of Internet technology.

The Problem

Star is a rapidly expanding company with over 200 employees spread across multiple UK locations. Star required new business systems to support their operational needs with the key requirements being:

  • The delivery of accurate and up to date business information
  • Integration with existing business systems and processes
  • Provide tools to enable easy update of the Intranet by non-technical staff
The Solution

Electrum developed a database driven Intranet and browser-based content management tools. The site is updated online with the latest information immediately available to all Star employees.
