- Hired Ensemble Systems as a subcontractor to create a custom “storefront” to support user login and issue entitlement.
- Worked with Oracle IT staff to create the required iOS and Android certificates, build tablet and phone apps, and submit the apps to the app stores.
- Helped the editorial staff create an InCopy workflow between editors and designers.
- Taught management staff how to use the DPS portal to publish digital issues as they were completed.
