March of Dimes

Implementation and Technical Data
 
March of Dimes "Healthy Babies, Healthy Business" application is delivered over the public Internet from our hosting facility in NYC to your intranet. There is no software to install or maintain.

We utilize WebCollage Syndicator™ technology
to dynamically serve your version of "My 9 Months." The implementation of this technology provides for the majority of the effort to be done at March of Dimes. As a result, you have very minimal implementation activities. Most importantly, you do not install any software.

In order to incorporate these applications and embed them into your site, you must create a "landing page" which will contain our application. You will place a single line of HTML code on that page (also referred to as a “container page”) to facilitate the dynamic inclusion of the March of Dimes application. The site can be placed anywhere in your Web site in which you want the application to appear. In some cases, we can even host that page for you.

Here's an example of the line of code that will enable your "My 9 Months" application:

<script src=”syndicator.marchofdimes.com/partner/app”> </script>

WebCollage integrates the application in real-time into your pages. This client-side integration technology is similar to the way banner ads work – except that WebCollage embeds a fully interactive Web application in your site. Your Web servers serve the container pages, so your pages can be dynamic and include session-related information.
