Hi,
A few Board Members have suggested that I provide
a brief update on the Fathom project, so here goes.
We are still on track to launch the new Web
site at the end of January. We decided not to launch until after the
Christmas Break and the January Board Meeting
We demonstrated the content management system
for both the A & F and P &SC Committee at their November meetings so
many of you have already seen it in operation. With the Board’s
permission, we will be presenting an update and demo of the actual new site at
the January meeting.
Some
key milestones:
·
The
content was substantially completed on September 10th as scheduled.
·
Key
staff members were trained on content management system (CMS) in October.
·
Content
was loaded into Content Management System throughout October, November and
December.
·
The
Fathom technical team have been working out any bugs and adding enhancement to the
CMS.
·
Jon
Bloom and staff are working on integrating on the new Web Store and advertising
software along with integrating many other legacy applications.
·
We
are currently working on publishing and testing pages for launch at the end of
January.
·
Will
are now planning, with Fathom, the actual site launch.
I’ll be providing some
additional details in the COO Report that will be issued before the Board
Meeting.
