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 Content Management System is used across our campus to update the content for our entire university website.
  • OU Campus is quite simply a very easy product to manage and maintain for our users across campus.
  • The easy-to-use interface makes using the product easy. As the administrator for OU Campus, I can set up user access and preferences according to user knowledge and expertise.
  • Using OU Campus daily gives us the ability to keep our website up-to-date with quick access and easy usability.
  • With version 10 of OU Campus, OmniUpdate has continued to grow and expand according to user needs.
Considering the product is geared toward higher-education, the potential customer should ask about tech support, ease of set-up and end-user needs.
