Contensis gets Royal Holloway approval
The Contensis Content Management System has been chosen by Royal Holloway, University of London, for its college website.
Royal Holloway is one of the major colleges of the University of London and when travelling along the A30 near Egham, you can’t help but notice their spectacularly, impressive ‘Founders’ building which was first opened as a college for women in 1886 and today the 135 acre campus remains the home to some 8000 students, employing over 1000 staff.
The College makes widespread use of the web, both for disseminating information within the College and for communicating with those outside.
The web site has been designed to present an attractive appearance, with the importance to communicate effectively to all, with an emphasis on the issues of accessibility.
The College has for some time recognised the potential benefits of migrating from an environment within which web pages are directly edited to one in which only the content is edited and this then automatically integrated into a machine-generated web page with a consistent “look and feel”, but has only recently made the firm commitment to replace the current Dreamweaver-based editing environment with a Web Content Management System.
After a lengthy and thorough selection process Contensis was chosen as the preferred solution to undergo a pilot project. After several weeks of rigorous testing the project team gave the thumbs up and the Contensis CMS is about to be fully deployed for the live site.
