The TotalCom Interactive System project was a component of the TotalCom / Bell Mobility stores built at a number of locations in Ontario and Quebec, Canada. Locations included Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City.

TotalCom was a new retail concept for Bell Mobility - driven by consumer shopping behavior. It included product and service offerings from Bell Mobility, Bell Canada and their associated companies. These included cellular, land-line, Satellite TV and ISP service. As the name states - it was the total communication offering in one location.

Alan Wier was involved with all aspects of the interactive project development. Including proposals and ongoing presentations, working with various client groups to devise strategy for customer experience and logic flow; gathering content and language translations from client MarCom and ad agencies, working with internal RPA teams to develop look and feel, attract animation concepts, and other functionality; and managing content updates once the project was operational..

These were networked kiosks. Each kiosk reported its status and provided usage reports which were valuable to Bell Mobility product managers.

RPA created this interactive using their proprietary Trellis software platform.

Alan Wier managed the design and creation of the ongoing updates for two years after the system went operational.
