In 2009, we sent all our senior developers on a field trip up north to learn the ways of TeamSite at the Interwoven training center. After many days of intense training under Interwoven experts, they returned to our office with a better understanding and appreciation of the technology. Almost immediately, we were able to put our training into action with the redesign of Dignity Memorial. After the initial learning curve, we found out that the Interwoven platform lives up to its promise of handling large scale site development with enough flexibility to customize it to specific project requirements.

For this month’s Team Tuesday we managed to corner our VP Business Development extraordinaire, Diana Scott. See what we dug up about Diana when she answered 10 questions …
Whether you have a massive news website or a personal blog, it is critical that new content is frequently added to keep your site fresh, relevant and at the top of search indexes. Unless you have a small army of developers standing by, the most efficient way to keep sites current is to use one of the many Content Management Systems that are available. When it came to the OneWest Bank redesign, we worked within their Ektron CMS400.NET platform to rapidly translate wireframes and designs into functional, easy-to-update templates. A key advantage of Ektron was that it fit nicely into our existing design and development process, allowing us to quickly adapt to the platform and focus on design, not technology. Even better, the way it handled HTML and CSS made it possible to execute many layouts directly in Ektron which allowed for a faster production cycle. Once the site was complete, we handed the keys over to OneWest and their marketing team was able to immediately take control of the site and update its content in real time.

This month we sat down with Dianna Martinez to ask her ten silly questions!
