As of April 30, the Requirements and Evaluations Committee has officially wrapped up its work, and the implementation phase of the UC Davis web CMS has begun.

After meeting once a week for more than a year, the R&E committee selected a web CMS that we felt would work best for our campus. It passed the rigorous tests of technical and functional requirements, and it was nearly unanimously selected as the best product for its user interface and other features. The product is Hannon Hill’s Cascade Server.

After we selected the product, we launched a three-month communication of our process and the final product selection, talking with university officials, marketing and technical professionals at UC Davis. As of April 30, that phase has also been completed.

We now move to the next phase - implementation. More to come on that soon….
