After review of participants’ testing results and completion of an extensive evaluation for each of the three vendor finalists, I'm pleased to announce that OmniUpdate’s OU Campus web content management system has been determined to be the best fit for CSU Channel Islands and has been recommended for purchase to the WCM Core Team and IT management. Learn more about OU Campus.

Once the contract and purchase are finalized, the WCM Core Team will reconvene to discuss the timeline and action items for the implementation phase of the project, which will include system configuration, migration of existing web content, and training for web content editors.

Now for a few thank-yous:
