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.
