Redwood City, CA - A quick visit to the new ShopHarcourt Web site will put thousands of products and sample lessons from three Harcourt publishing companies, Harcourt School Publishers, Steck-Vaughn, and Holt, Rinehart and Winston, within easy reach of educators around the world. ShopHarcourt.com is the newest addition to the AOL@School online shopping mall, a shopping service devoted to teachers and administrators.
"Harcourt selected Cuesta Technologies to develop the new Web site because they have a track record of successfully deploying quality online catalogs for the education industry extremely quickly," said Dick Casabonne, Senior Vice President of Planning and Business Development for Harcourt, Inc. "We were impressed with Cuesta's project management skills and the easy-to-use tools that were built into our Web site. We really needed to work with an experienced team like Cuesta in order to meet the aggressive time table we had agreed to with AOL."
