Quantum Leap Wins Ernst & Young Assignment

Internet advertising agency Quantum Leap Communications in Chicago has been awarded a digital assignment from accounting and consulting firm Ernst & Young LLP.

Quantum Leap will be responsible for digital strategy, providing counsel to Ernst & Young in the areas of extranet information design, project design and implementation.

BroadVision Inc., a provider of one-to-one applications for relationship management across the “e-enterprise” and a strategic partner of Quantum Leap’s, is providing the BroadVision One-To-One Knowledge application as the basis of Ernst & Young’s extranet initiative. Billings were not disclosed.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for us to help Ernst and Young enhance its use of the Internet as a viable strategic business tool,” said Debra Bean, senior vice president and managing director of Quantum Leap. “Ernst & Young is taking an aggressive, leading approach to the Internet and we are pleased to have been selected as part of their team.”

The Ernst & Young assignment marks the second opportunity for Quantum Leap and BroadVision to collaborate. The first joint project was for American Airlines’ AA.com site redesign launched earlier this year.
