As network administrator, Mr. Coleman led the effort to extend DayPoint Enterprise's native feature set to address specific needs of the organization. Among the customizations Mr. Coleman accomplished was the complete integration of DayPoint functionality into the campus's Intranet, so that DayPoint capability appears just as all the other items on the Intranet's menu. This process was made easy because of DayPoint's ability to be customized in multiple ways by novice users as well as expert programmers. The users also rely on DayPoint Enterprise to manage and use forms for purposes such as classified advertising as well as functionality for task management.
