The implementation

We launch our first app edition on the 26th February 2011.
The departments that are the drivers of the projet are the New Platforms Department and the Software Factory Department.
We developed an automation project that transforms automatically the contents of the newspaper in app contents and after that we only need to proceed with a graphical work and to add multimedia contents.
