- Developing a functional specifications document to refine requirements for the
project before any development ground was broken.
- R&D sessions addressed
potential advantages and disadvantages of various architectures. A more modular,
product-neutral system was chosen. As FastForward, moves into successive releases,
Scripps will be able to take advantage of new software and applications and continue
to improve site rollout speed and lower maintenance costs.
- Cadre5's Vignette architects,
developers, data feed integration software architects, and data modeling experts
improved the quality of the product while in development.
- With multiple media divisions
and numerous properties, Scripps required a unique launch plan executed on a client-visible,
success-driven clock.
- The importance
of scalability led to open standards and a largely product-neutral system. Combined
with the Web's universal acceptability, FastForward is not only a user-friendly
solution for the average Scripps content developer, but easily maintainable and
enhanced by the blended Cadre5/Scripps team.
- Vignette, Oracle, Perl,
JSP, XML, XSL, XSLTC, Tomcat, and BEA WebLogic. By adopting open standards such
as Java, XML, and XSL, FastForward can take full advantage of industry advancements
and product enhancements.
- To ensure a continued fault-proof
system, Cadre5 conducts regular performance tests and tuning. |
