The site will be using the SiteWare Adapter for ATG Dynamo to integrate ScreamingMedia's fresh, highly targeted and personalized health-related content into their server.
"TheDailyApple member has come to trust us with their health or the health of a loved one," said J.J. Singh, CEO and President, Caresoft.
