2. IntroductIon
The executives & shareholders of ArtMole would like to invite you to review and influence the business processes
and the design of the ArtMole portal. The team members having corporate, technical & artistic experience
combined with international exposure, have been the key ingredient to the development of ArtMole portal thus
far. Despite all of our experiences, we recognize that the real value comes from an integrated customer driven
business solution. Our business model aims to yield it’s value proposition by specialising on what we do best &
outsourcing the rest. The key to the outsourcing is to do so with organisations specializing in those areas, allowing
us to achieve great results.
ArtMole is a web based portal emanating from the experiences of a group of people who use art, work with art,
understand the importance of art & are artists. It reflects the aspirations & desire for innovation of a collective,
who want to provide a venue for art & art lovers to come together to peruse, to conduct business & to build new
& unique partnerships providing a complete life cycle.
We have developed modular capabilities in the ArtMole portal which go beyond the portal & include the processes
/ procedures for sales, production & back office capabilities. We believe that the combination of the processes
and services within ArtMole, in combination with the artist portfolios makes for a rich and unique environment.

4. the BIrth of the Idea
Like most people in the early 90’s I had a dream of building an art portal to support striving artists and art
academics allowing them to voice opinions and share art. Almost 20 years on I am about to realise that dream as
the CEO of ArtMole Inc. The cost of technology and communications at the time I visualised this dream made the
concept of ArtMole simply a ‘pipe dream’. But hope and passion for the arts kept this dream smouldering in my
mind and I felt that one-day the unthinkable would be a reality.
As the Concept founder I am a seasoned photographic & video professional & academic with 20 year international
experience. During the past 10 years, I have successfully taken up the positions of CEO, Production Executive,
University Lecturer & Freelance Creator of artworks. Five years ago I met up with a person (the IT co-founder) that
had an IT attitude which held no barriers and believed strongly that ‘anything is possible’ with the right backing
and support.
The IT co-founder has had over 25 year international career, working within Global IT consulting and ‘blue
chip’ organizations. He has a deep and varied experience in strategic and tactical development of agile business
applications following an enterprise and service orientated architecture approach.

6. Why We are confIdent We can Succeed
Together as the conceptual cofounder and the IT cofounder we formed the nucleus of the business operational
team of ArtMole and went about designing and testing business capabilities and functionalities to create the
first of many phases of the ArtMole concept. This has allowed us to develop ‘dormant modules’ that will be
implemented as the need arises in a much more rapid pace.
This work resulted in the piloting of aspects of business and IT design concepts during Q3 2008 and the analysis
from the pilot has feed into the design of the current and next 2 generations of business application functionality.
Today we at the dawn of our final test run of the first generation of ArtMole product suite with testing commencing
in early April 2009 and running through into May 2009. With a target to going live at the end of Q2 2009 and
the support of 9 languages by the end of Q3 2009.
