OmniUpdate Webcast Demos – New Dates Added
Final collegebuys.org Notice for OU Campus Webcasts!

OU Campus was developed to empower higher education faculty and staff to easily create, update, and maintain designated pages of departmental and campus web sites without HTML or programming knowledge.  

OU Campus dramatically simplifies the process of keeping higher education web sites up-to-date by allowing those responsible for the web content to actually make the changes instead of continually funneling work through a central IT area. OU Campus offers multi-user access in a controlled environment with built in workflow and approval capabilities.

Designed to save time and money while improving web communications, OU Campus has become the web content management system of choice for colleges, universities, school districts, and educational foundations nationwide.
 
Easy to Use:  Updating departmental and campus web pages is as easy as point-click-and-type. The OU Campus interface utilizes familiar icons so that only minimal training is required to give expert and non-technical users alike the ability to create and maintain designated web pages without HTML, FTP or other programming.
 
Reduce costs - Reduce the IT Burden:  Using an already overburdened IT staff to update the web site is typically costly and inefficient. OU Campus reduces the burden on IT staff and the need to staff additional resources for web site maintenance. With faculty and staff maintaining web pages with an automated approval process, resource constraints for your web site are virtually eliminated.

An implementation analysis for a College in Santa Barbara, CA, shows that OU Campus can reduce the cost per update by as much as 86%!

Faster Updates:  With 24/7, browser-based accessibility, OU Campus allows staff and faculty to update designated web pages at their convenience, not just when the web administrator has time to update them.
 
Increase Efficiencies: Decentralizing the work and empowering staff and faculty saves hours of coordination and production time. By allowing those ultimately responsible for the web pages to control the content, OU Campus eliminates the common “bottleneck” that occurs when only a few have access to the web site.  
 
Maintain Consistency and Control of the Web Site:  Customized page templates, designated controls, and a robust approval system help maintain consistency, standards, and web design integrity. Automated prompts help improve compliance with ADA section 508!
 
Compatibility - Seamless Integration: OU Campus is compatible with your existing web sites and systems, maintaining the investment in the existing web sites. Files can be imported and uploaded in their current formats - even pages created in Dreamweaver and FrontPage. Seamless implementation can occur in as little as a few days with no changes to your institution’s web site and, in most cases, with no additional hardware or software.
