Project 1 focused on conducting extensive research and setting up demos to see what companies that had the potential to eliminate inefficiencies in our publishing automation workflows had to offer for VanEck. The focus was to create a structured workflow tool for publications and establish edit tracking and version control of documents.

Project 2 involved tracking the data and widgets on the VanEck website that were displayed and correct for redundancies and errors in the data displayed. Overlapping and out of date data were key concerns that we tracked, along with missing data fields in the fund data.
