IT Publishing partnered with ImageVision.Net, a Mechanicsburg, Pa.-based Internet and IT solutions provider to design and deploy the CertReview.com site, which leverages Sequoia's interactive portal technology to provide members and commerce partners with a dynamic venue for finding, exploring, exchanging, and marketing career and business development opportunities. "XPS reduced the cost, time and effort required for building CertReview.com, IT Publishing's interactive marketplace for Microsoft Certified professionals," said Bill Jeansonne, president of IT Publishing. "Using Sequoia's technology, CertReview.com delivers accurate and efficient access to training and career development resources and also supports powerful interactive features employers require for targeting and recruiting highly qualified job candidates." The CertReview.com portal combines a dynamically generated catalog of IT publications and other career-related information with process-based activities, such as a resume exchange. The site serves as an employment infomediary, expanding job opportunities for the Microsoft Certified professionals who register and provide their resumes. Resumes submitted to CertReview.com are stored as XML documents that are indexed by the XPS so they can be easily searched for specific attributes. "CertReview.com gives Microsoft Certified professionals the ability to access and act on an ever expanding body of career-related information," said Jack Stose, vice president of sales for Sequoia Software. "CertReview.com employs XPS to gather, aggregate and manage member and employer data, as well as disparate content from publishers and commerce partners, fostering an interactive marketplace benefiting Microsoft Certified professionals and the organizations requiring their services." XPS uses XML to bridge structured and unstructured data from disparate sources and provides a personalized Web interface from which users can quickly and easily search for, retrieve and act on information. XPS incorporates a powerful XML rules engine that gives administrators the ability to easily govern the way content is exchanged, routed, stored, forwarded and presented. In the case of CertReview.com, rules applied to XML documents, such as resumes, enable members to view and update their resumes, and at the same time, give authorized employers the ability to perform granular searches for specific attributes and define the way search results are displayed.
