The content management system (CMS) has been successfully applied to the first Binghamton.edu site.
The think.binghamton.edu site has the distinction of being the first Binghamton website “ingested,” into the OmniUpdate CMS. There are virtually no outward signs of this change because the CMS functions behind the scenes.
This development paves the way for several web project activities. These include:
• applying the CMS to other existing sites
• integrating predesigned templates into the CMS
• establishing web site accounts for offices and departments
• creating the editors’ accounts needed for the web site accounts.
All these things, plus training, are prerequisites for site production and migration into the new system. Training the “think” advocacy site editors will take place next week. Training the trainers will follow soon thereafter.
