), a global provider of content management solutions, announced today the Dallas Museum of Art The Dallas Museum of Art is an art museum located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, Texas, USA along Woodall Rodgers Freeway between St. Paul and Harwood. History  is optimizing many of its enterprise-wide, Web-related business processes using Stellent(R) Universal Content Management(TM). The museum collects, preserves, presents and interprets works of art of the highest quality from diverse cultures across many centuries.

With approximately 35,000 unique visitors A count of how many different people access a Web site. For example, if a user leaves and comes back to the site five times during the measurement period, that person is counted as one unique visitor, but would count as five "user sessions.  to its public Web site per month, the Dallas Museum of Art has made it a priority to keep site content dynamic and up-to-date. Stellent Universal Content Management enables the organization to achieve this goal by providing museum employees with enterprise-wide workflow and collaboration features that facilitate the efficient review and approval of Web site content. The museum's former method of circulating site content via email attachments See e-mail attachment.  often clogged its email server See mail server.  and led to version control problems. Additionally, the Stellent system automates the museum's content publishing processes, empowering non-technical content authors to easily publish their own information on the Web site.

"Web-related business processes that in the past took up to four weeks to complete are now turned around in minutes or days," said Lance Fordham, Webmaster for the Dallas Museum of Art. "In addition, we no longer have outdated content on our Web site, and the accuracy of this content has improved since the content authors are now directly contributing it to the site rather than me, the Webmaster, retyping the content."

The Stellent implementation allows approximately 250 museum employees from various departments, such as curatorial, accounting, development, marketing and education, to contribute Web site content by "dragging and dropping" content in its native format -- such as a Microsoft Word A full-featured word processing program for Windows and the Macintosh from Microsoft. Included in the Microsoft application suite, it is a sophisticated program with rudimentary desktop publishing capabilities that has become the most widely used word processing application on the market.  document -- directly into the Stellent system using industry standard Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV).

Once content is submitted into the system and approved, Stellent Site Studio converts the content into Web formats and delivers it to the Dallas Museum of Art's Web site. A multi-site management application built upon Stellent's core Universal Content Management architecture, Site Studio enables organizations to empower individual departments, divisions or geographies to create and maintain their own area of the site, while ensuring each area complies with corporate brand and navigational standards. The Dallas Museum of Art will use this technology to create and maintain various micro-sites related to exhibits featured by the museum.

"Stellent's ability to dynamically convert native documents into Web site content on the fly was a critical factor in our selection of this software," said Homer Gutierrez, director of information technology (IT) for the Dallas Museum of Art. "This capability allows us to put Web site publishing and maintenance into the hands of content authors -- regardless of their technical abilities. As a result, new content is available on our Web site faster, and the site as a whole is more current."

The Stellent system also enhances the museum's processes by delivering document management, Web content management, collaboration and digital asset management capabilities through one common architecture. This unified enterprise content management foundation drives multiple benefits, including easier maintenance, rapid and high user adoption with minimal training, greater content repurposing, a single upgrade path, and seamless integrations through a single application programming interface (API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. ). The Stellent system is a cost-effective technology investment for the museum that provides a wide range of functionality from a single software instance.

"This accomplishment is indicative of the rapid and high user adoption customers can generate due to our system's ease-of-use. Museum employees are trained in as little as two hours, and they immediately begin utilizing the system."

In the near future, the museum plans to integrate its customer relationship management system and collections management system with the Stellent technology, so employees can combine content from these disparate systems to produce reports against multiple databases.
