Since then, Mr. Maher has overseen the development of the curriculum from four core areas to over 100; the development of its distance developer database; and the creation of its web-based publishing expertise which has led to the current double byte and triple byte platform and web delivery capabilities. He also led PCS into two critical acquisitions of companies that possessed technology needed by PCS to continue its transition from a site based deliverer of educational curriculum to its present focus of developing and deploying learning labs supported by distance learning content and assessment as well as electronic and multi-media content development and delivery.
