Last year, UC Davis conducted a survey of higher ed institutions across the nation. We collected comprehensive data about the adoption and use of Web content management systems, and published this information for the public. Our goal was to learn about the experiences - both positive and negative - of other universities in the adoption of Web CMS, and to share this information with those who may currently be considering the same.

Recently, the URL for the survey results has changed to http://cms.ucdavis.edu/cmssurvey. Please update your bookmarks accordingly.
