The IADB hired Fig Leaf Software to provide a ColdFusion programming solution that allows for access and content management on the IDB America Web site while still allowing IADB web staff to utilize Adobe Dreamweaver and Flash.

Following a detailed specification phase, Fig Leaf created a custom CMS solution to allow for a multi-publishing workflow (magazine and web).

The CMS system has the following features:

• Levels of Access - Contributor and Administrative access
• Multiple User Roles - Contributors, Content Approvers, Translators, Quality Control, Editors
• Advanced Search Capabilities including integrated search for PDF archives
  
• Text-only and printer friendly, send to a friend, reader comment capabilities
• Keyword / Taxonomy database to control headlines, lead stories and photos
• Polling and Surveys
  

Fig Leaf delivered the new content management application on-time and on-budget.  The new Magazine site enables visitors to read news in their chosen language:

• English
• Spanish
• Portuguse
• French

Visitors can read in-depth articles and news by topic area (education, environment, energy, arts & culture, etc.), can search the archives for past articles, sign-up to receive monthly email headlines and more.
