Eastern Washington University Revitalizes Web Site With Ingeniux CMS

January 18, 2005

Ingeniux Corporation, the trusted provider of XML-based Web content management software, today announced Eastern Washington University has launched a new website using the Ingeniux CMS Web content management software. The revitalized Eastern Washington University website (http://www.ewu.edu) unifies the university’s multiple campuses and schools under a single site design, brand, and content management system.

"During the site development and now that we are in operation we have enjoyed the benefits of using Ingeniux CMS," said Betsy Knox, Eastern Washington University’s website manager. "Over 300 staff and faculty are already up and running on Ingeniux - writing and publishing Web content without relying on our Web team. As our site has grown to thousands of pages it has remained easy to manage. We also appreciated Ingeniux’s higher education focus. Working with multiple academic and administrative departments to standardize on a system is a challenge. We have received a very positive response from faculty and staff publishers across campus. Ingeniux technology and support were instrumental in our success."

Prior to using Ingeniux CMS Eastern’s websites were scattered on multiple servers making maintenance and administration difficult. Content was contributed either to the Web team, or published ad hoc. Workflows were undocumented and difficult to enforce, resulting in inconsistent approval processes for information. Developing in HTML resulted in pages that did not meet design standards, were difficult to update, and often referenced documents that had either moved or expired.

Ingeniux CMS provided a centralized solution to manage the university’s websites and standardize site design. Ingeniux’s browser-based software clients allowed faculty and staff on any campus to author and edit web pages without using HTML or complex programming languages. The university’s web masters utilized Ingeniux CMS administration and workflow tools to gain control of the development process, safeguard access to data, and manage the universities expanding library of web pages, digital assets, and rich media. The result has been a significantly improved website, an administrative staff and faculty empowered to quickly produce business-critical admissions, development, and marketing information, and up-to-date news, sports scores and academic information that make the new Eastern Washington University’s website a focal point for current students and alumni alike.

Ingeniux President and CEO Jim Edmunds said, "Ingeniux is committed to helping colleges and universities make the Web an advantage. That means simplifying the process of getting information online, providing an easy way to manage the mountains of data and media within the university, and helping deliver information quickly and cost effectively across many channels and to many different groups. The success that Eastern has had achieving this advantage reaffirms our commitment. The Eastern team has done a great job."
