Q4

In FY2009, the Publishing Team created documentation in support of 73 IS&T projects and initiatives, including MS Exchange Email & Calendaring, Stellar, COEUS, SAP HR/Payroll, Mobile Technology, new and updated IS&T services, and multiple desktop software releases. Our documentation, distributed on-line and, as necessary, on-paper, provides the MIT community with the knowledge and how-to procedures they need to use IS&T services quickly, correctly, and effectively.

The IS&T Website project illustrated the reward of collaboration across IS&T directorates. This project was a collaborative effort of ISDA Headquarters and Content and Collaboration Service development team, the CSS Publications team and OIS Network Services.  The result was the formal launch of an authoring environment built on Drupal, our new open source Content Management System, and the new IS&T website moving into production at the end of June. The site's fresh design and enhanced usability helps users quickly find the information they need to access IS&T's products and services. To launch the new site, the project team migrated over 2,000 pages of content from the old site into Drupal. Going forward, the Drupal CMS will streamline our ability to publish content and speed the communication of news and updates by extending authoring capabilities to key information providers. Other IS&T content authors will begin training and use of the new authoring environment over the next few months.
