Nestled
in the hills of Eastern Los
Angeles County is Cal Poly
Pomona. A member of the 'Cal
State' system - Cal Poly (along
with its sister school - San
Luis Obispo) prides itself
on its 'learning by doing'
philosophy.
Cal
Poly Pomona's Department of
Public Affairs is responsible
for all University-based communications
including the 'Polycentric'
online magazine - this
weekly online-magzine serves
to communicate the latest
in campus and community news
to faculty, staff and students.
The
Public Affairs department
came to DreamBox looking for
a way to streamline their
article publishing and archiving
system - which was being done
manually - pulling a significant
amount of creative time away
from editors and writers.
DreamBox
proposed and developed a full-featured
Content Management System
for the site. The password-protected
system includes such features
as keyword search, story archiving,
weekly poll, and image upload
through the browser.
Building
on the success of the Polycentric
project, DreamBox has been
called on to work with a number
of other departments / committees
on campus of late including:
the University Library, Career
Center, Alumni Affairs and
act as principal consultants
to the University Web Committee.
