Streamlining Web Publishing
5/1/2004
Approximately 20 users manage content on Rivier’s Web site. Individual departments are now preparing, editing, and formatting their own content and submitting it for approval (and I can easily add more users if I need to). Because my users are doing the publishing tasks themselves, I can focus on core IT and administrative tasks associated with the Web site.
Rivier’s Web site is a powerful recruiting tool. Prospective students find the information they are looking for. For current students, the Web site is a one-stop-shop for reading about academic programs, faculty information, and other on-campus information. Beyond academics, our Web site delivers information about athletics, campus life, college services, job listings, and faculty policies to a wide audience.
Adopting a Web content management system has eliminated an immense amount of hassle and saved administration time at Rivier College.
Dan DiCecca (ddicecca@rivier.edu) is Webmaster of Rivier College in Nashua,
New Hampshire.
