Professional Installation

A Clever Zebra Second Life engineer will install Zebra Corporate for you according to your individual needs. Whether you're looking for the "plaza look", or wide open spaces with discreet offices and buildings, we will build your island for you in a matter of a couple of weeks. All the while the build process takes place, you're invited to watch and to comment and to provide feedback.

The base Zebra Corporate product comes with a good deal of flexibility in general design and layout, but if you're looking for something a little more challenging, talk to us about it.

Personalization

Having your companies branding, unique messages, color schemes and decor reflected throughout your new Second Life island is a must. One of our chief goals at Clever Zebra is to make clients feel at home, comfortable and confident within the virtual world. In order to do that, your company's unique logos, branding and images will used. You'll also spend a little time with a Clever Zebra designer talking about your color schemes, and preference in interior design. After all, you want your guests to feel comfortable as well right?

Customization

Light customization comes as standard with Zebra Corporate. We know that each company is different, and that in many cases it's not so hard to tweak this building, or alter that room. In fact, within certain bounds we'll be happy to make your Second Life island truly your own. "Light customization" includes the following:

• Rearranging interior rooms in buildings
• building separate structures based on existing products
• and customized layouts

Clients looking for something more, should talk to us about custom build services.

Business Tools and Gadgets

Presenting to clients or colleagues in Second Life can be challenging. With Clever Zebra's Zebra Presenter however, professional presentations are as easy as falling off a log! Your Zebra Corporate island in Second Life comes complete not only with Zebra Presenter, but also Zebra Gadgets, a set of tools that allow visiting avatars to contact you, drop items off for you or pick up inventory from your company.

Clients that need specialized tools or services built should talk to us about their needs.

Community

One of the biggest fears of new companies that we talk to about Second Life is being abandoned after the initial development of an Island. Who would want to be left standing holding the keys to a new Second Life facility and not knowing what to do next?

It's in our best interest that clients progress from "corporate presence", to "active participant" in Second Life. Clever Zebra run a continuous stream of virtual world events in Second Life, and guide an active community of experts and newcomers alike that have one common interest: Exploring the business and education value of virtual worlds.

As part of the community you'll be encouraged to attend educational events, and even to host them. We'll help you connect with likeminded poeple and make sure that the learning curve (which can be steep in virtual worlds) is accelerated for you by active participation in the community.

This stuff isn't easy. It's a lot easier with help though, and that's what the vBusiness Central Community is all about.

Shared Facilities

Clever Zebra maintain several islands in Second life for use by the community for all manner of purposes. One of the key facilities we offer is use of our 180 seat stadium, Zebra Crossing, for large events -- a Second Life island can typically host 40-50 avatars comfortably, but for larger groups something a little more is needed. Zebra Crossing spans four islands, and is spectacular to view.

Clients looking for professional event management should speak with us about their events.

Priority Event Registration

Clever Zebra host a continuous stream of inworld educational and business events. Some events, like the vBusiness Expo, the first large scale public virtual business event actually held in a virtual world, reach capacity very quickly. As a Clever Zebra client, you'll have priority access to all events, both free and paid, that we run throughout the year.

Community Support

If you get stuck, help is never far away. The support forums are there for clients to ask questions and get help with anything at all in Second Life. We monitor the forums constantly, as do many volunteers, and will get to most queries within 48hrs. We don't guarantee being able to help, but you won't be left without a lifeline! Of course if anything goes awry with your Zebra Corporate island, we'll be there before the virtual ink has had time to dry...

Clients needing priority support should talk with us about priority support services.
