PSO launch central information resource website for the UK Metacards project
Friday, August 13, 2010
Working in partnership with Positive Steps Oldham (PSO) we have designed and developed a stand-alone website to act as a central information resource for the UK Metacards project.
Metacards are a unique range of resources available for professionals working with young people to help them achieve their goals through change. Designed with young people, Metacards are easy to use and proven to be a highly effective engagement tool.
The project is managed by PSO, an independent sector company providing an integrated range of services including Connexions, Oldham Youth Offending Service and Oldham Drugs and Alcohol Action Team.
The Metacards UK site was built on CommonSpot Content Server; the Content Management System PSO have been using since 2005 to manage their suite of websites.
CommonSpot's scalability and ease of use, along with its robust approval and workflow mechanisms, enable PSO to efficiently manage all of their websites with one system, and realise significant bottom line savings on configuration, maintenance, development and overall running costs.
This approach has stood the test of time, further delivering valuable savings in training and implementation times, while ensuring that the latest web approaches are readily achieved.
Cyber Media didn’t just offer their standard system to us; they worked with us to understand our requirements and then to tailor a solution to our particular needs. They were very professional, flexible and helpful.
We needed a comprehensive solution that would enable us to manage several Web sites easily and efficiently, and we achieved this with a system that offers distributed authoring rights and provides a scalable and robust approval and workflow mechanism.
