Case Study: Lone Star College achieves better online user experience and easier content management with OpenText Web Site Management

Leading Community College Improves Online User Experience with OpenText

Lone Star College System, the largest higher-education institution in Houston with about 85,000 students across five colleges, faced a restrictive, technically challenging CMS that left website content inconsistent, outdated, and difficult for nontechnical staff to update—limiting online growth and the ability to deliver a better user experience.

They implemented OpenText Web Site Management, trained decentralized content editors, and put workflow controls in place so departments own and maintain their pages while branding stays consistent. Adoption climbed to 125+ authors, content is published more frequently (including an automated mobile publishing workflow), the site now supports richer multimedia and improved navigation, and traffic has grown to about 1.5 million visits per month with positive user feedback.
