Case Study: Southwestern Oklahoma State University achieves streamlined, secure website management with Hannon Hill's Cascade CMS

Southwestern Oklahoma State University - Customer Case Study

Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU), a regional university in Weatherford, OK enrolling about 4,500 students across numerous undergraduate and graduate programs, was struggling with a manually maintained website that had grown unwieldy. Content lived in multiple places, leading to broken links and outdated information, and the web team was reduced to a single staff member—prompting a consulting review that recommended adopting a content management system.

After evaluating options, SWOSU selected Cascade CMS for its push technology and strong support for static pages; the team is migrating content so templates, links, and content changes update related pages automatically. Role-based permissions and workflows let departmental contributors safely edit and publish without exposing site code, reducing errors and allowing the university to manage a growing site more efficiently without adding staff—with further benefits expected as migration completes.
