YouthNet needed an industrial strength content management system for both TheSite and Ask-the-site products so that the relativly small editorial team became really efficient in providing content. All of the content needed to be kept secure and anonymous as well as being reusable to form poll questions and FAQ’s. In addition the partners extranet capability needed provide functionality to allow questions to be answered by professionals directly and efficiently. Finaly, this had to be a completely Java & J2EE compliant solution to fit IT strategy
A lightening fast delivery platform to provide the youth of our nation with answers to difficult questions and a place to air their views. We are very proud to associated with YouthNet in realising their vision.
The project was not without its problems, mainly due to the short time scales of the project and some short term issues that took longer to solve than normal. The result however can be seen at www.thesite.org. The system is now managed in-house
