First meeting of the Contensis University User Group

The inaugural Contensis University User Group meeting has been held at Southampton Solent University.

The meeting is an important milestone in the success story of the Contensis CMS product.

Sector account manager Mark Owen said the meeting was an essential part of the on-going relationship between Contensis and its university clients and between the universities themselves.

The meeting was chaired by host Steve Hogg of Solent who opened with a friendly welcome and brief background introduction to the University.

Each of the University members spoke about their own web presence and the unique qualities that each University offers.

'Interactive debate'

Mark Owen said: “It was a good inter-active debate which saw discussions on specialties, course work, student numbers and even on location; who had the best views and grounds!”

Richard Chivers, CTO at Contensis, took the meeting onto the next stage with a presentation on the imminent release of Contensis version 5.0.

He discussed the pertinent changes within the new version which left everyone present itching to get their hands on it.

Richard finished his session with news of our new partnership with WebTrends for web analytics.

Chris Cowan, Contensis Managing Director, introduced the members to our new on-line Project Management tool, and rounded-off with the new university discussion forum which is now available on our own site. The forum will be extremely useful for members to discuss issues, new ideas and maybe the odd joke!

An afternoon question and answer session rounded off what was an extremely successful and informative day.
