The Company Line Web Site

Problem:
Consumers Energy wants to better reach company employees, especially the ones in foreign countries, through the Web.

Solution:
A Lotus Notes application is used to manage the content. When a site update is requested an agent extracts the content, packs it into a zip file, ftp it on the Web server and then initiates a telnet session with the UNIX host and runs the Perl script that unpacks the zip file and recreates the site. A transcript of the telnet session and status data is then emailed to the requestor. (In Partnership with Q Ltd. And Interconnect of Ann Arbor)

Technologies:

Lotus Notes, Perl, UNIX, Macintosh and Windows.

Work done on this project:
Designed the application and developed the code in LotusScript, HTML and JavaScript.
