It's been a busy month with the WCM evaluation!

Over the last few weeks, three products have been selected for hands-on testing of the product:

  • Hannon Hill Cascade Server
  • OmniUpdate OU Campus
  • TerminalFour Site Manager
Each of the selected vendors has set up full-featured demo instances of their product and provided access to the Web Services team for hands-on testing.

A select group of campus participants representing key stakeholders for the web content management system were invited to participate in in-person training sessions, as well as to participate in self-paced, hands-on testing of each product.

Web Coordinator Daniel Martinez has hosted in-person training sessions for two of the products; training for the third is scheduled next week.

If you are interested in participating in the training sessions or the hands-on testing, please contact Daniel at daniel.martinez@csuci.edu or call 805-437-3932.

In the meanwhile, the selected vendors were asked to provide multiple client contacts at institutions with similiar needs and implementations. WCM team members will be conducting interviews with these clients to obtain additional perspective on the vendors and products.

We hope to wrap up our administrative and end-user testing, as well as our client interviews, by the end of the month. As they say, it's crunch time!
