We have been busy too on the opposite side of the world...
Reading Room have been successful in their bid to design and redevelop the New South Wales (NSW) Commission for Children and Young People website.
The Commission works with others in the community to make NSW a better place for kids and Reading Room are delighted to be able to provide our expertise and experience in order to enhance the website which is a vibrant channel of communication.
And that's not all...
Reading Room have been commissioned to supply and implement a content management system for the National Archives of Australia's corporate website.
Following a detailed analysis of National Archives' requirements, Reading Room conducted a review of the marketplace to select a system which represented the best value for money in terms of fit to their initial requirements, ongoing maintenance and extensibility for the future. Based upon this analysis and on our experience of working with organisations of similar structure, audience requirements, technical environment and budget structures, the best fit for National Archives requirements was the Tridion Content Management System.
Reading Room are delighted to have been chosen for this project and look forward to working with National Archives in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, now and in the future.
Reading Room's CEO Margaret Manning is to speak at the 3rd Annual Website Content Management for Government Conference at the Rydges Lakeside, Canberra.
Reading Room's session on 16 May will share how we work with Users, encouraging participation and involvement in our client's projects. Users contribute to the development of the digital communications - from start to finish. Margaret will cover keys areas such as:
- How to develop a content management strategy
- The three phases for a strategic roadmap
- What's needed to involve, consult and empower
