OU Campus is a versatile content management system that has been widely adopted by our organization to update and manage the content for our entire university website. Users from various departments and colleges across campus utilize OU Campus to edit their respective web pages and manage web content. The primary interface of OU Campus is used by content contributors campus-wide to effectively manage their web page content. This has empowered users to take ownership of their web pages and ensure that the public website content remains fresh, relevant, and accurate.

One of the key advantages of using OU Campus is the significant decrease in the time it takes for new content to be published live on our website. The intuitive user interface and minimal learning curve make it accessible for non-technical users as well. Additionally, OU Campus offers excellent customer service with quick and effective responses to user questions, which has been greatly appreciated by our campus community.

Another use case of OU Campus is its ability to create links for professors, faculty, staff, and community members to access department information. It also allows for quick uploading of materials to the web, saving time in creating and updating web content. However, one limitation of OU Campus is the inability to upload the same document without changing the original document name.

Overall, OU Campus has proven to be a valuable platform for managing web pages and content across our entire organization. Its scalability, user-friendliness, extensive documentation, and time-saving capabilities make it an essential tool for content management throughout our campus community.

OU Campus for You

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.

This website works well in an academic setting. It's easy to add pages as your site expands/grows. It's really easy to use and modify pages once you know what you're doing, but it can be a little tricky to get the hang of it at first. It is definitely useful to have in-person or virtual training before you dive in.

For a college campus, OU Campus is the best CMS product I've seen, especially when budgets continue to be cut and we are all trying to do more with less staff and less resources. It's impossible for a small web team to keep up with changes across campus, so it's very nice to be able to give users access across campus to update their content without sacrificing the university brand.

OU Campus is well suited for large organizations with multiple pages that should be updated by the content experts themselves. It is less appropriate if your marketing or communications team handles "all" of the website editing. OU Campus should be used if multiple (think 10 or more) editors will be used.

I have been a staunch supporter of OU Campus since our first year as a customer (2006) and I have been continually impressed with how closely they match their development of the product to customers' requests. I don't know of any other company that delivers so much continuous improvement on their software, and all of those improvements have a direct and immediate benefit to their customers.

OU Campus Content Management System is very easy to use and teach non-tech people how to use it. Once deployed properly, IT departments at colleges and other institutions with big web presence can offload most of the web maintenance to department heads. This saves a lot of time and effort on the IT department's side.
