"Universities are increasingly using the website as the central medium for communicating with their publics. As such, websites have experienced an exponential increase in information, leading to sites that are difficult to navigate, over laden with out-of-date material and as a result are failing to deliver on their fundamental role - easy access to relevant information. Universities are turning to content management in their droves in recognition of the importance of maintaining a clean, engaging and interactive site", he added.
Tony Stark, project ,manager, business services and projects, University of Oxford, said, "We needed a Web CMS system to simplify, standardise and improve the web content management and publishing processes within Central Administration. This will give our 50 plus website editors more time to concentrate on the quality of their sites and content.
TERMINALFOUR was selected on the basis of its ability to fulfil every requirement of our complex brief, provide a cost-effective solution and, importantly, its teams ability to work with us on a partnership arrangement."
