ATLANTA, GA, August 22, 2008 - Emory University, the internationally-recognized institution of higher education, recently launched their newly redesigned Web site, www.emory.edu, which is powered by Hannon Hill's web content management system, Cascade Server.

The redesign of Emory's Web site marks an unprecedented endeavor in technology for the school. Three of Emory's departments, Communications & Marketing, University Technology Services, and Development and Alumni Relations, came together to research the process and commit more funding than ever before to the Web site project.

Emory's decision to revamp their Web site was primarily fueled by a desire to increase the University's web presence, as well as the need to unite all of the vast institution's departments under one content management system. After much consideration and research, Emory selected Hannon Hill's award-winning content management solution, Cascade Server, as the campus-wide CMS. Utilizing an enterprise CMS system like Cascade Server ensures that the process of updating their Web site's content is streamlined, in addition to improving the site's overall visitor experience.

The newly redesigned site boasts many impressive features, including an emergency alert system, a new and improved campus news and events display, a more user-friendly information architecture, and a streamlined look-and-feel across the site. After launching the redesigned site, Emory will also employ use of a campus-wide template to improve aesthetic consistency across the school's multiple colleges and their respective sites. In addition, the University has aimed to improve use of its site by targeting content to specific audiences via the use of dynamic news regions and RSS feeds.

"Emory has taken it upon themselves to set the precedent when it comes to university web design. The creation of the 'Guides to Emory' navigation is especially impressive. The fact that students can now easily navigate and immediately view general student information, in addition to browsing and subscribing to news and events specific to the student population, is phenomenal," notes Blaine Herman, Director of Strategic Accounts at Hannon Hill. "Emory has succeeded in making an expansive amount of information readily available to their site's visitors, in addition to providing content tailored to all of the school's constituents. Here at Hannon Hill, we've been thoroughly impressed with what they've accomplished using Cascade Server."

As a complement to the thorough and expansive nature of the web content on Emory's redesigned site, utilizing one content management system campus-wide provides a seamless way for members of the institution to contribute to and update the site without hassle. Cascade affords end-users ease of use and allows for content to be updated quickly and frequently, ensuring the site is a fresh and relevant source of information for all visitors.
