Joe Tannian left a comment for Michael Fienen"Hello Michael,
I am new to uwebd and our university is in the process of evaluating several CMSs, OmniUpdate, Cascade and dotCMS seem like the strongest contenders. What do you like most and least about dotCMS?
We are use to extending our current…"
Joe Tannian left a comment for Justin Gatewood"Thanks Justin for looking into that for me! Have you used other languages , like PHP, JSP or ColdFusion to extend functionality into your web pages? If so has that been hard or difficult? Any gotchas? Thanks again.

- I am hoping to have something started in test before the end of this calendar year.
- SUNY Stonybrook already did that (using OmniUpdate) and their freshman catalog is now online (using XML/XSL) and is published simultaneously as XHTML and PDF each time it's updated. It's online at: http://sb.cc.stonybrook.edu/bulletin/current/

Joe,
We've been using OmniUpdate's OU Campus CMS since October 2006.
Some of the features I like best?
- Platform-independence (I can manage content anywhere, on any platform, with no issues...if you can FTP to a directory, you can manage the content within using OmniUpdate's CMS)
- Simple to train non-technical users (For the last year and a half, I've been sending a simple 5-step, online training video I created to show end users how to manage their content, and I haven't had a need for an in-person training session since)
- PEOPLE USE IT (one of my biggest frustrations with rolling out a new web service is when nobody uses it after I set it up and make it available...EVERYONE who tries OmniUpdate's CMS continues to use it and almost never call me with support questions)
- Template set-up is simple (but you can get crazy powerful with it if you want)
What are my least favorite things about it?
- it's not free (so I have to continue to justify the expense to management who are of the mindset that an open source CMS would be a superior option)

I've been tasked with finding a software tool that helps manage the onboarding and exit process of new and departing faculty. Ultimately i would like this software to management faculty office interms of when resources can be removed from a particular office and when a new faculty member can be moved in with the necessary resources.
