Orangutech wins the Hospital for Sick Children (www.aboutkidshealth.ca) MOSS 2007 web site re-design.
Orangutech has been chosen to re-design the AboutKidsHealth web site for the Hospital for Sick Children. A key component to the project is the implementation of a Web Content Management System (WCMS) that allows the author to manage medical articles and publish media files to the www.aboutkidshealth.ca site. This system will be the content management platform that delivers all web-based content to end users and provides the content owners with the ability to publish content of various types much more easily.
The WCMS will also manage this content through new content lifecycle which will be developed as part of this project, will allow content syndication across the site, and will provide search engine optimization. It is envisioned that the WCMS will in subsequent phases, evolve within the AKH into an Enterprise Content Management System to become the cornerstone for corporate document management and collaboration.
