Modern Campus CMS vs. OpenText WEM

OU Campus is the best CMS product I've seen, especially when you have a large organization with less staff and resources. Also, its power, if one team likes marketing, handles all pages and that saves a lot of time and effort. I strongly like the components/snippets. Tags all dynamic modules.

Areas where OpenText WEM is well suited 1. Improved digital/web presence of the organization's leaders globally. 2. Established the leaders as go-to experts for thought leadership and domain knowledge among C-level executives of related industries. 3. Amplified the client’s marketing and branding efforts. 4. Customer engagement reflected by interaction count on social media—likes,comments and conversations.

• The JustEdit feature makes updating content a breeze. With a small staff, we rely on others to update their content. OU Campus makes it easy.
• Site-wide find and replace. I use the site-wide find and replace feature for all sorts of things - links, enrollment numbers, department names. It's really helpful.
• Customer service. The staff at OU Campus answers questions quickly and is always willing to discuss the most effective ways to take on new projects.

• Easier management of websites.
• Integrates well with Portal to deliver news, working like a blog.

• Formatting. The page can sometimes look very differently when published than what it looks like while editing. Some improvements have been made in this area with version 10 however.
• Find and replace. The command+F needs to find text on the page while editing, not present an actual find and replace dialog box. At least give me the option to simply "find" the text I'm looking for. The dialog box just gets in the way most of the time.
• There is not a way to "unpublish" items. At least not a way that I can think of. I would like the ability to pull a page offline without deleting it. Seems like it should be done simpler.

• It's unable to connect user accounts so that accounts are set and utilize a single sign-in.

Before using OU Campus Content Management System we were using Adobe's DreamWeaver suite for creating and maintaining web pages. The core web development environment was cumbersome to set up. Non-tech people also had trouble understanding how the web works and how web pages are created/maintained. OU Campus Content Management System solved all problems for us.

We have choosen OpenText WEM against other vendors because : 1. Helped client reinforce brand image
through unique design language and templatization of collaterals, consistent
messaging, and regular competitor benchmarking. 2. Enables lead generation through
high-quality gated collateral, product videos, etc. 3. Senior management and sales lead meet
client regularly for project review meetings and feedback on engagement
