The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD) requires to continue the services of the extranet: the brand portal and the password-protected DAM system. The brand portal comprises a splash page with the capability of clicking into English and French content, a homepage with the capability to add a web banner and other graphics, and several webpages containing content.
DFATD would like to continue managing our digital asset collection and our user permissions in such a way that user access to assets can be managed and bundled for specific pre-defined user types, groups, assets are searchable through metadata tagging and categorization, as well as the capability to create download links of assets that can be sent to and used by non-users.
Furthermore, we would like to retain the functionality that allows users to make predefined modifications to assets (through modifiable templates) to create customized promotional items on their own.
As an official Government of Canada site, the extranet is subject to the requirements of the Official Languages Act. As such, the system should provide the capacity for the creation of user-interfaces in English and French. This requirement encompasses the landing (splash pages). Users should be able to toggle between English and French.
