You're Going to Love the New Web Content Management System
by Donna Hamilton, Assistant Vice President Governmental Relations & University Communication
The university is in the final stages of purchasing a leading web content management system (CMS). Thanks to contributions from both the university and individual colleges and units, we were able to purchase an accompanying social collaboration module and an enterprise-level digital asset management system in addition to the base product.
Because the contracts have not yet been signed, we cannot name the vendor, but the product offers rich features, an impressive GUI (graphical user interface), a pleasing user experience, and easy setup and management tools.
Implementation will begin as soon as contracts are signed. A steering committee comprised of various university representatives will determine priorities, standards, and processes. A collaborative development team from UCit, University Relations, Administration & Finance IT, College of Business, Clermont College, and UC International will implement the system and configure components to make UC web sites more dynamic and effective.
While the teams will work as quickly as possible to implement and learn the new system, we anticipate it may take up to twelve months to move all existing Serena Collage CMS sites into the new system. We believe you will find it worth the wait!
We will provide more details at http://www.uc.edu/web/cms/ when the purchase is finalized. Please direct any questions or comments to Donna.Hamilton@UC.Edu.
