This weekend University IT Services (UITS) and the Cross Functional Web Team (a joint team comprised of members of IT and PR) began a major software upgrade of the University's Web site. During this upgrade, minimal changes to the University's Web site will be made.
The upgrades include upgrading to the latest version of CommonSpot (the University's Web Content Management System) and ColdFusion (the Web programming language in which CommonSpot is written), as well as the underlying Oracle database which holds the content elements for the University's Web site.
This upgrade will provide additional features for the University's Web site, including greater integration with other University information sources, such as the Banner administrative system and the Luminis portal. This will allow the University to more easily distribute information via the Web from Banner and other official information sources.
During the next two weeks the Cross Functional Web team needs to minimize updates and changes to the University's Web site in order to complete the upgrade.
