The data collection mechanism was rather obsolete and required a lot of manual cleanup.

A rock solid framework was needed that could be a cross between a CMS and an Interactive Experience.

A sleek Photo Carousel gallery was made in Flash. A video player was designed and coded in Flash to play the interactive videos. A custom browser was designed to view the content.
