DESCRIPTION
New Zealand Trade and Enterprise is the New Zealand Government's national economic development agency. In March 2009 we replaced several older, fragmented websites with a single customer focused website based on MOSS. The project was made more exciting by spreading the work across two vendors and three different internal teams in four locations in two cities. How did we do it and what did we learn? This talk will cover both NZTE's perspective of the project and Intergen's perspective of the build itself.TRANSCRIPT

• Modern CMS• Platform for the future

How did we go?
• On time and on budget• The teams worked together really well
![Page 18: NZ Trade And Enterprise website T13 Mike Gilbert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070319/558444d4d8b42abf1e8b53af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What did we learn?The build:• Virtualisation is great!• Don’t underestimate the increased complexity
The project:• The testers are the gatekeepers and they need to be good at it• Plan your end-of-project transition• How will your organisation work with MOSS?
Distributed teams:• Try to find some team/project collaboration tool or other …!• But, you still can’t replace at least some face time.

Summary

• We wanted MOSS for the complete package• We made it on time in spite of some large
challenges• The next year or two will be pretty exciting!
