Web Content Management System (Open Text CMS)
VCU uses Open Text for its web content management system (CMS).  At its most basic level, a CMS is used for building and maintaining large amounts of Web content.  A CMS provides a centralized location for  website content and assets (images, non-HTML files); creates archives and versions of content and most importantly, allows non-technical users to easily enter, update, and publish content to websites.

ALERT: VCU is planning switch to a more user-friendly CMS called TERMINALFOUR (t4).  To learn more, please click here.
