ADD11: Integrating an Open-Source Content Management System with Existing Campus Architectures
Rodney S. Tosten, Gettysburg College
Bill Wilson, Gettysburg College
In the fall of 2004, Gettysburg College was faced with a major decision to select a content management system (CMS) to integrate with our campus system architectures. After investigating several vendor-based systems, we selected an open-source CMS. The open-source solution gave us the initial advantage to incorporate the best of breed functionality from the other vendor-based systems. Our poster will outline how we integrated an open-source CMS with our home-grown portal (CNAV), our ERP system (Peoplesoft), and event system (R25). Our success also placed our campus in a position to leverage these systems into a future customer relationship management system.
This session is scheduled for Tue, Oct 24, from 2:45 PM to 3:15 PM.
ADD12: Reason: An Open-source Content Management System Designed by and for Higher Ed
Jaye Lawrence, Carleton College
Reason is an open-source PHP/MySQL-based content management system that empowers content creators and maintainers. Developed at Carleton College, Reason is a collaborative system that is uniquely suited to the requirements of higher education. Reason was designed from the ground up to integrate not just with common technical platforms in use at colleges and universities, but with the culture of collaboration, intellectual freedom, and decentralized communication that exists in higher education. Carleton College is actively seeking adopters and development partners at other colleges that need a more "reasonable" approach to web content management. See also poster sessions on these topics.
This session is scheduled for Tue, Oct 24, from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM.
