SmartCatalog System

Simplify the publishing process and free your staff to work on other projects.

The SmartCatalog System helps colleges and universities revise and publish curriculum data by harnessing the power of content management technology in a simple-to-use application. Based on a central data repository of curriculum information, the system creates an environment for faculty and staff to revise information. Content may be published to several targets simultaneously—the web, print, even Palm Pilots.

• Easy-to-Use Application No training is necessary for faculty and staff to log on and indicate changes. Eliminates the need to circulate paper proofs.

• Scalable Grow the system to meet your needs or expand with your college. The SmartCatalog System can handle so much more than the catalog.

• Custom Workflow and Revision Management Tight controls allow only authorized contributors to access data for the purposes of updating.

• Version Control and Track Changes Monitor changes word for word, just like your favorite text editor. Includes archiving, document and version control.

• Multi-channel Publishing Includes web pages, books and even versions of your catalog from the same resource.

• Reuse Content for Multiple Publications Single-source data repository allows you to repurpose content and create targeted publications on demand.

What else can you do with it?

Integrate existing Student Information Systems

Because the system is based on SQL server technology and is OBDC compliant, you may integrate with Student Information Systems, both proprietary and custom.

Manage your entire website.

Robust workflow tools give campus web contributors the access they demand without losing control of your website. The system is server-based so nothing goes live until the webmaster approves it. No more rogue pages and confusing messages.

Manage curriculum development behind the scenes.

The SmartCatalog System is great for managing curriculum development and allowing colleagues to "talk" to each other at the draft stage. Imagine how useful this would be for curriculum committees as they work to develop new programs. Version control would allow them to see the genesis of programs and courses as they develop.
