Case Study: Utah Valley University achieves website excellence and major savings with OmniUpdate OU Campus

Utah Valley University Rebrands and Paves the Way for Website Excellence

Utah Valley University needed a better way to manage its growing web presence after years of inconsistent content, confusing navigation, and backlogged requests. As the school prepared to rebrand from Utah Valley State College to Utah Valley University, it looked for a more controlled, scalable web content management system and considered a SaaS approach from OmniUpdate, including the OU Campus web CMS.

OmniUpdate implemented OU Campus to help UVU migrate 60,000 pages, streamline web publishing, and transfer content ownership to departments. The results were significant: the redesign and rebrand were completed in 9 months instead of the planned 14, average editing time dropped from 30 minutes to 2 minutes, publishing time fell from 6 hours to under 10 seconds, and CMS administration work was reduced from 57 man hours per week to 5.5 hours per week. UVU also reduced its server footprint from six servers to one, saving $58,000 initially and about $10,000 annually.
