Superdesk will also be the most challenging component of Lateral Cognitions web project infrastructure to install and configure.

Within superdesk, the flow of incoming information is guided and the workflow of media production shaped. Superdesk will be the last component of Lateral Cognition's infrastructure to be installed and will not be implemented until desired workflows in the individual media projects have become clear.
