Content Management System

Client: 
Big Jump Productions Inc.
Project Role: 
Site Builder and Administrator
Project Dates: 
January, 2010 - August, 2010
Project Description: 
This project involved creating a secure, internal-use only, online media content tracking and communication system with a client portal for reviewing content. Internal users can log in to update the status of media assets they are working on, leaving comments that get attached to the assets. Supervisors can log in and review media assets, change status to either “approved” or “to-be-revised” and leave comments. Production personnel can log in to view reports that summarize the status of entire the production and compare it to the production schedule to ensure work is on track or falling behind. Lastly, company clients can log in to a simplified and separate area of the system to view posted examples of media assets to review and comment on. This system replaced an existing flat file database system of entirely of Microsoft Excel spreadsheet documents.
