OmniUpdate(TM) Hits 3 Million Page Mark as Most Widely Adopted CMS in Higher Education

Camarillo, California - September 26, 2006 - WebsiteASP, Inc., the leading provider of web content management systems (CMS) for Higher Education, announced today that the number of college and university web pages that have been updated using its OmniUpdate solution has topped three million.

With the Web playing an increasing role in recruiting, retention and advancement, tools which enable marketing and other non-technical staff to easily maintain the website are no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Yet in spite of this need, steep learning curves and high upfront costs have prevented the widespread adoption of most traditional CMS products outside of IT departments. In contrast, OmniUpdate, with its "simple is better" approach to content management and low implementation costs, continues to both increase it's overall customer base in Higher Education, as well as numbers of users and frequency of use within its customer base.

"It really 'takes a village' to maintain the average college website. You need the participation of subject matter experts from admissions, financial aid, student affairs and many other departments to keep the site fresh, accurate and engaging," explains Mary Ann Fitzhugh, Vice President Marketing of WebsiteASP, Inc. "And, if you want their help, you really need to think about selecting a CMS that your users will actually want to use, not just one they'll have to use. We've designed OmniUpdate with that goal in mind and the usage statistics we see in our customer implementations is telling us that OmniUpdate actually encourages staff to keep the website up-to-date."

The OmniUpdate .edu Solutions portfolio includes CMS solutions designed for the specific needs of campus staff, faculty ePortfolios, alumni organizations and even student pages.
