Case Study: College of the Canyons achieves flexible, governed web content management with Hannon Hill Cascade CMS

College of the Canyons spins up 6 sites in 2 months with Hannon Hill

College of the Canyons faced challenges with its stagnant and inflexible CMS, which lacked essential features and required excessive maintenance from its web team. The platform's poor permission controls and complex, XML/XSL-based components led to frequent issues, consuming at least half of a developer's weekly time. With a contract renewal pending, the college needed a scalable and easy-to-use solution from a vendor like Hannon Hill.

Hannon Hill implemented its Cascade CMS, which provided the flexibility and granular permissions the college required. The solution included a streamlined migration, a form-based editor for safe content creation, and tools like unpublish and AI-powered metadata. As a result, College of the Canyons empowered hundreds of users across six sites, enforced accessibility, and significantly accelerated site development, with the developer noting the platform made their life easier and was very empowering.
