  1. what we’ll talk about today:\n-where we are today\n-where we were\n-how we got here\n-what we’re doing with Sitecore\n
  2. \n
  3. our site today\n\nflexible feature space - first time we’ve done this\n\nconvocation 2012 - biggest operational event, part of a large analytics project\n
  4. \n
  5. \n
  6. sites: registered as subdomains of ualberta.ca\n- some will be ‘off the shelf’\n- some will have custom: looks, colours, design elements, functions\n- some are large, some are small\nusers:\n- from our training centre: users that have registered and completed traing\npages:\n- published. does not include versions or unpublished\nmedia items:\n- images, docs, video, audio\n
  7. - Google Analytics Sept 2011 through April 2012\n- fall/winter semesters\n- our heaviest traffic period\n
  8. 22 staff\n- 5 devs\n- 3 html designers\n- 1 db\n- 1 designer/map functions\n- 1 content person\n- 3 PMs\n- 1 Writer/Editor\n- 3 managers: Analytics, PMO, Development\n- 1 ED\n- Admin Assistant\n- 2 Analysts\n- and 1 senior designer\n- 1 contract writer\n- 1 sys admin\n- 3 student interns working on map interiors\n\n
  9. - where we were\n
  10. our site in 2008\n\nthis is what got me started in the field of analytics\n
  11. - our own CMS\n- built by me\n- ColdFusion - tech risk (try hiring CF people)\n- Note ColdFusion was not a choice made by us\n- purchased an app from an external vendor to manage news\n- they built in CF for us\n- before my time (i was ASP dev then)\n- in order to maintain, we went with it\n- not flexible\n- code - out of hand with every little custom request\n
  12. - hardware needed replacing\n
  13. - started the process of evaluating what to do\n- no build, we need something where someone else looks after the software\n- open source - sure it’s free to download and install\n- staff time\n- support\n- what if there’s a problem with the code base\n- we have escalated a number of issues to Sitecore\n\n
  14. - started the process of evaluating what to do\n- no build, we need something where someone else looks after the software\n- open source - sure it’s free to download and install\n- staff time\n- support\n- what if there’s a problem with the code base\n- we have escalated a number of issues to Sitecore\n\n

  17. - keep the committee small, bare minimum\n- progressive members\n- show everyone the process\n- because it’s a big purchase, need the RFP\n
  18. - this is what we need\n\n
  19. - this is what we need\n\n
  20. - this is what we need\n\n
  21. - this is what we need\n\n
  22. - this is what we need\n\n
  23. - this is what we need\n\n
  24. - this is what we need\n\n
  25. Very detailed RFP\n\nrisk of getting a few or just a single qualified vendor\n\nwhat it did - limited the submissions we had to go through\n\n3 qualified - easy shortlist\n
  26. \n
  27. CMS Watch: $1000 for reports on your finalists\nDog and pony show. Here’s our site. Build it in your product and show us.\nSet it up for us and we’ll see what we can do.\nWe went right in to the code (I broke Sitecore in my first 20 minutes)\n
  28. \n
  29. RFP closed in march, 2008\nreview in April\ndemos and trials in april/may/june\npilot builds begin with external vendor\n\nkeep in mind - doing all this with 5/6 staff\n
  30. - the first real project where we are moving things to the next level\n
  31. - the first real project where we are moving things to the next level\n
  32. - the first real project where we are moving things to the next level\n
  33. Reorg:\n- New ED\n- New direction\n- new funding model\n-\nProjects:\n- rebuild our web presence\n- rebuild our team’s role at the University\n- rebuild our Sitecore instance\n
  34. - rebuild sitecore\n- HTML5\n- go back, evaluate or code. fix and improve. use lessons we’ve learned\n- document and build it so outside devs that are sitecore certified can step in and work on projects\n\n- redesign site\n- go back and undo everything that was done previously\n- use the data we have - by this time we have a fairly good data set from GA and some customizations\n- get new data by using our own resources in our faculties to focus group, survey, interview, etc\n
