Corsis Technology Group engaged Project Calibrate to assist with a complex development project involving six organizations and two major teen magazines owned by the Hearst Corporation. The objective of the project was to migrate the web sites for two Hearst magazines, CosmoGirl! and Seveneteen, into the Vignette content management system of iVillage Inc.

Acting as a sub-contractor of Corsis Technology Group, a Project Calibrate manager led team of consultants from several organizations serving various client constituencies including the Hearst editors and iVillage Technology group. Project Calibrate was tasked with managing the scope, schedule, and resources of multiple sub-projects in order to accomplish the hosting migration and re-architecture of the Hearst sites.

In order to manage communications across multiple teams and maintain project documentation, Project Calibrate used task management software and built a customized project web site extranet.

The successful re-launch of the Hearst teen sites assisted iVillage in its contract renewal proposal with Hearst to secure approximately $12.5 million for hosting and production services over the next three years.
