Rhythmyx is ideal for our multi-channel environment, and features XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. for easy content reuse. Its advanced Web Services development layer will simplify interoperability with our Oracle portal and other enterprise applications and Web technologies. Rhythmyx provides user-friendly input methods - such as using Word to contribute content - which will make it far easier to train non-technical business users throughout the university. We were also impressed by Percussion's Getting Started rapid implementation process. Percussion doesn't just provide software in a box, or hand you a platform - it forms a real partnership. Our IT developers will work with Percussion, learning how to use the CMS (1) See content management system and color management system.

ERAU offers more than 30 degree programs and educates more than 32,000 students annually at residential campuses in Prescott, Ariz., and Daytona Beach, Fla., through its Worldwide Campus at more than 130 centers in the United States and Europe, and through online learning. The following are key reasons ERAU selected Rhythmyx: * Large, Multi-Channel Presence - ERAU will use Rhythmyx to support 20 to 25 public-facing Web sites; 10,000 pages of content; a recently implemented Oracle intranet portal; and multiple channels generated from the same content, for example the university's course catalog, which is available on the Web, in PDF (Portable Document Format) The de facto standard for document publishing from Adobe. On the Web, there are countless brochures, data sheets, white papers and technical manuals in the PDF format. and in print. * Multi-Site Management - ERAU will take advantage of Rhythmyx's simple site cloning capabilities for multi-site management by creating new sites for two of its colleges, then cloning the underlying templates to roll out sites quickly for other colleges. Consistency in the types of content on the college sites will make it easy to populate the cloned templates with a new college's information. * Web 2.0 Applications Such as RSS Feeds and Podcasts - With Rhythmyx, ERAU will be able to implement new forms of communication requested by university admissions directors and preferred by prospective students. For example, Rhythmyx users may contribute Student Events information using a Web form interface, and that content can then be pushed to ERAU's Web sites, syndicated to an RSS feed and pushed to the intranet portal. * Easy Content Reuse - Rhythmyx will replace a previous page-based CMS with XML-based content management, which enables content to be created once and reused easily in various forms via the Web and other channels. Key to this capability is the Rhythmyx De-Coupled Delivery Architecture, which separates content production from content delivery, enabling ERAU to store content in one place and apply specific design and layout information when content is delivered. * Easy Interoperability - The Rhythmyx Web Services Software Developer Kit will save ERAU developers significant time and labor and simplify interoperation with other enterprise applications and Web technologies. This includes content delivery to ERAU's Oracle intranet portal and to other databases supporting dynamic applications developed with ColdFusion. Rhythmyx will also readily accept inputs via XML data streams from sources such as the university's student information system.
