CMS Evaluation Kickoff

The Content Management System evaluation officially started on May 21st with a kickoff meeting with the CMS evaluators. The CMS evaluators have been tasked with providing feedback about each CMS using a rating system for various categories.

Starting in October, members of the CMS implementation team will assist individuals responsible for web content with moving their content to the chosen CMS.
