Waterloo CMS Project formally underway

The Waterloo CMS Project is officially underway! The Project Charter was finalized on September 4, 2009 and is available online at Information Systems and Technology (IST) projects. The goal of the project is to implement Open Text Web Solutions (OTWS), previously RedDot, as the centrally supported website creation and maintenance tool at the University. The currently supported tools, Dreamweaver and Contribute, will eventually be phased out and replaced with OTWS. The main tasks of the Waterloo CMS Project right now include: project management planning; establishing a project team; training project team members in OTWS; and preparing a University communications plan to keep the University community informed about the project. The project lead is Eva Grabinski from Client Services in IST. Expect to hear more from Eva and other project team members about the project in the coming months.
