The CMS Initiative was presented to members of the UC Davis Communications Council at the most recent meeting of the group on June 1. In addition to discussing the scope and goals of the initiative, the purpose and value of CMS were described.

A downloadable CMS factsheet was distributed at the meeting.

The UC Davis CMS initiative commenced in May, 2006.

The UC Davis Content Management System (CMS) initiative aims to implement a solution that will support the creation, management, delivery and sharing of web content across the campus, while promoting compliance with organizational standards for branding, accessibility, and communications.

We are excited to undertake this effort to improve the quality and functionality of Web publishing resources at UC Davis, and hope that you will visit this site for additional information as the project progresses.
