Post event information via internal CMA for publication on mySeagate

The following procedure will allow you to publish information to the Seagate Announcements container of the my.Seagate.com portal (http://my.seagate.com/guest). This procedure can be put together the morning of a day in which there is an after market announcement. However, you should not launch the article until after the press release announcement crosses the wire.

If you have never posted an article to the CMA, you will need to request an account via the IT Help Desk.

You should use the code provided in the IR section door procedure to complete this task.
