Challenges
Before Six Magazine used Google Apps and Manymoon, article submission and editing was slow, and could only be done by one person. Further, Six Magazine could not easily delegate tasks as the email system was patchy if at all used.
Solution
Six Magazine's 30 people are now using Gmail to consolidate messaging and contacts. Communication between writers and editors has increased and become more efficient since everyone is now on the same email platform. Manymoon is used to submitting articles that are Google Docs as well as uploaded documents. Articles are attached to tasks and sent to multiple people for review. Six Magazine editors can group these articles and tasks into projects to organize the process of creating a magazine run. The staff also uses Manymoon to automatically convert their Gmail emails to tasks. This is useful to capture information floating in email and associate it with articles.
