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 is a great solution for websites in higher ed
Our organization uses OU Campus to host our website (since 2016). We recently underwent an entire site redesign, still using OU Campus. I work with the website on a daily basis and am pleased with its performance.

An OU Campus is a happy campus
We launched OU Campus in February of 2015, along with a responsive redesign of our main site. We have a web staff of two, but I was able to train over 100 content owners across campus in a very short time. Since we've launched, OU Campus has been so well received that we are currently working to move our Alumni & Development sites into the CMS. Purchasing OU Campus was a great decision. The learning curve for non-technical users is very small, and our campus community loves using OU. On the technical side, template creation can be a little difficult, but the customer service is top notch. I can count on someone to answer any question I have quickly and effectively.

OU and Me
OU Campus is used exclusively throughout Southeastern. I manage our scholarship, financial aid, work study, and veteran services web site. It has proven to be a much easier user friendly product than what we previously employed.

Great for content editors and content experts alike
Our university uses OU Campus to edit web pages for all departments and colleges. It is used to divide each of our six colleges each with their own editors and content creators. These individuals will have different permissions based on their role in the university to edit pages; edit pages and submit them to "publishers" or edit everything. It is very flexible in the sense that it is scalable so there isn't just one person editing everything all the time.

OU Campus is the primary interface through which our public website(s) are edited and upon which web content is managed for our entire organization. Although there has been no real support 'from the top' of the organization regarding this product's adoption across our institution, OU Campus use has spread by word of mouth, and prospective users contact me on a regular basis requesting training on and access to the system for editing their website content. To date, we have had a 100% user adoption rate across the campus. Basically, everyone who has started using OU Campus is still using it today. The specific business problems that OU Campus continues to address are: (1) empowering users and content contributors campus wide to manage the content on their respective web pages, (2) decreasing the amount of time it takes for new content to be published live to our website, and (3) our public website content is more fresh, relevant and accurate as a direct result.

I worked as a Web Developer at The College at Brockport for over 3 years. During that time I maintained both departments' websites and main university web pages. I also taught many department leads core web skills so that they can take the bulk of maintaining their own web sites. Initially, we were plain HTML/JavaScript shop. It was very difficult for non-tech people to understand how the web works and how web pages need to be created and updated. Once we introduced OU Campus Content Management System, we saw a dramatic change. Not only it was very very easy for us to train non-tech people basic web development skills, but also many more employees wanted to learn such skills. OU Campus builds and offers fantastic software. In my experience and the experience of those whom I thought how to use it, the Content Management System offered by OU Campus is very intuitive and easy to use. It has a nice user interface, and great documentation explaining the user how to use each feature the user is interested in. With OU Campus Content Management System creating and maintaining web pages is a breeze. I would totally recommend it to anybody who wants to save time creating and updating web content.

OU Campus is being used to create links for professors, faculty, staff and community members to see viable information for our department and it is being used across the whole organization. The only business problem that OU Campus address is the ability to upload materials to the web in a matter of seconds. The only problem that I have with OU campus is not being able to upload the same document without changing the original document name. If OU campus would allow users to keep the original name and upload the document, then I would love it.
