Content Management System
Conversion and Implementation Update
The process of implementing a Content
Management System (CMS) for the
University website began on June 17,
2011. The first sites, including the
University home page, were published on
Dec. 12, 2011. Administrative division
and departmental sites contained in the
“adminservices” domain were launched
on Mar. 5, 2012. Academic unit sites
were published on May 16 and Aug. 1,
2012. The conversion to DotNetNuke
(DNN) is now 95 percent complete.
Training and refresher sessions for editors
will be ongoing. As the institutional tran-
sition to the CMS nears conclusion, atten-
tion will shift to the visual improvements
and marketing features which are critical
to promotion and positioning of the
University. Implementation of brand
message elements on all websites will be
phased in over the next several months.
One of the benefits to the CMS conver-
sion is that visitors will be unable to
access old or outdated information from
the old sites using the search function. All
of the previous sites have been archived
for reference purposes.
The roles in this project were a collabora-
tive endeavor among several divisions
and units:
OITS: DNN product installation, config-
uration, integration; technical and opera-
tional support; web servers
Image & Communications: consultation
with all campus departments; building
home page, department, division, and col-
lege sites; training of editors; design,
appearance, and consistency; marketing
and branding elements; support for units
without editors; maintenance of entire
University website; ADA compliance
CID: faculty “homepage” websites –
transition of faculty site to DNN; training
on faculty homepage structure and com-
position
The following colleagues participated in
the CMS conversion project: Tom
Marshall, Chris Hansen, and Richard
Young in OITS Administrative Systems;
Roger Poore, Dan Newcombe, and Todd
Birchfield in OITS Telecommunications
& Networking; Leanne Bradberry,
Shannon Crupi, and Dolores Cox in the
Office of University Image and
Communications; and Jill Lane, Lou
Brackett, Steven Smith, James Fries, and
Christopher White in the Center for
Instructional Development.
The support and cooperation of the
University community is greatly appreci-
ated as efforts continue to enhance the
University’s online presence.
