So, whatever your role may be, whatever challenge you've been tasked to solve, OmniUpdate's suite of products has been created with your needs in mind.

Content Contributors 

Simplicity of use is the key to user buy-in and widespread adoption of any web CMS. After less than one hour of training, authorized OmniUpdate content contributors can:

• Create new pages using the Page Wizard
• Write, edit, and publish content using the Browser-Based WYSIWYG Editor
• Insert images, graphics, and video using a simple point-and-click function
• Update events and PR items as applicable to their role
• Track changes via document comparison

Content Approvers

Content approvers are aided in their review process with an amazing array of specialized tools that allow them to:

• Receive email notification on pending items
• Approve and modify content
• Schedule release dates
• Establish expiration dates
• Track and report on content changes

Design Managers

Design standards are easier to maintain when content contributors and approvers are prevented from accidently modifying Templates. Design managers can:

• Separate content from design
• Establish global style sheets
• Utilize XML/XLS and CSS to facilitate global design changes
• Benefit from content reuse and repurposing
• Allow for departmental "uniqueness" within graphic standards

IT/Web Application Managers

Applications on a college or university website are often maintained by recruiting, admissions, marketing and PR staff with a wide variety of content and communication needs. To encourage information sharing and access, application managers can:

• Utilize RSS Feeds to quickly share content
• Monitor and "manage" the blog posting process
• Promote discussion through online Chat and private social networks
• Enable access to relevant information via individual informational portals
• Develop registration forms to collect and track data

Purchasing Agents

The college or university purchasing agent or accounting staff is often held accountable for buying the best possible product for the least amount of money, often after the decision to purchase a product has been finalized. OmniUpdate is the preferred vendor of countless financial departments because:

• Pricing is scalable based on the number of users
• District-wide, state-wide, and pre-paid contracts receive more favorable pricing
• Contract periods and terms are flexible
• No additional hardware or software purchases are required

Executive Management

Individuals operating in an executive decision-making capacity or on an executive committee are charged with getting the right Web CMS, at the right price, at the right time in the project lifecycle. So, whether you are seeking to launch a new site, redesign an old site, better manage multiple sites, or are simply looking to add functionality, OmniUpdate empowers that decision through:

• Demos to help you learn about and understand the product
• "Test drives" that allow you to see your own site in OmniUpdate
• References from top colleges and universities to support your recommendations
• Check lists to help you through the selection and implementation processes
• Service agreements for extra, optional support should your staff need it
