What is a Digital Campus?

A Digital Campus is a unified network

in which disparate systems,

communications and individuals

interact in a seamless, secure,

personalized atmosphere for learning

and achievement.

The Unified Digital Campus Promise

Costs Benefits

Digital University “Quick Benefits”

What:

One University reduced Web site publishing time from 30 minutes per listing (40 per day) to 2-3 minutes; “Time-to-Web” cut from 2-3 days to 2 or less hours

How:

• Enable users to publish their own content, allowing technical staff to work on site infrastructure.

• Universities have discovered that by implementing a web content management system, they can scale their technical team without adding new resources.

• This is accomplished by reallocation of publishing tasks to the content experts, which frees technical staff to build new applications.

• Integrate all of your applications and information sources into a single secure interface

• Communicate with your school’s constituents

• Speed your web-based applications and legacy applications to your users

• Implement 24x7 personalized self-service

• Provide access to communication and collaboration tools

• Maximize the value of your existing IT investments

• Powerful tools for content and brand management

Academic & Business Value of a Portal

Control Chaos or It Controls You

By 2006, content delivered via a Web-based infrastructure will overtake traditional content delivery media (Gartner).

Institutions that don’t expand their content delivery capabilities will not be able to compete in a real-time environment.

Enterprise portals are a core platform for enabling global-class computing, e-learning, personalization, multi-channel output and e-commerce.

Digital Campus Criteria

Before:

• Choices were limited and the value was obvious

Today:

• Many choices

• Decisions must be based on sound academic and business criteria

How to Begin?

Criteria for Picking the Right Digital Campus Platform

• Features & functions that match your requirements

• Solid Architecture, Scalability, and Manageability

• Useful Out-of-the-box Functionality

• Strong Partnerships

• Supplier/Vendor Stability

• Adherence to Standards

• Integration & Security

• Solid Customer References

The goal should not be to implement the “ideal” digital

campus, but the digital campus that has the most impact on the bottom line.

Three Things to Remember

• Every day the Digital Campus becomes a more integral part of how the world experiences your institution.

• Portal-platform solutions can be a source of pain or solution for pain.

• SCT Luminis solutions offer unprecedented scope, choice and flexibility for your Digital University today and tomorrow.
