As our list of higher education sector clients continues to grow, the establishment of a focused user group, which has been under discussion for some time, is now a reality.
Steve Hogg, web and learning systems development manager for Solent University, has kindly agreed to chair the group and has offered the use of his University’s facilities to host the first event.
“It will give everyone a chance,” Steve said, “not only to discuss issues directly related to content management, but also matters relating to wider issues facing Universities as they continue to sophisticate their web properties.”
“We’re really looking forward to meeting with our peers and learning from each other’s experiences.”
The first meeting is planned for June as soon as possible dates have been finalised. Watch this space, although we will obviously be talking to everyone involved, well in advance.
With our new release available soon, there will be an opportunity for everyone to get hands on with a host of new features, many of which will be of special interest to our higher education users.
About the company
The Contensis Enterprise Content Management suite of products began life, as many products do, following an animated discussion between a group of software professionals back in the autumn of 1998.
They all agreed, after exhaustive evaluation, that most of the products then available fell far short of their own vision and an idea began to gel. By spring 1999 work was well advanced on the specification of a system which not only met their criteria, and that of respected industry analysts, but equally important also reflected the views of end user enterprises. Power, ease of use and cost effectiveness were the key words. The beginnings of the Contensis development team were spawned a little later and work started in earnest to turn the dream into reality.
Philosophy
Our approach is completely customer-centric. Customers are our universe and we see their problems as our problems.
From a software perspective this means that we strive to ensure that every aspect of Contensis is simple to learn and easy to use. We believe we've achieved that, certainly at everyday user level. Even newcomers to the system are normally editing and contributing within minutes.
It's all part of our 'How can we make it simpler' approach.
