This project introduces better means to manage news and event announcements published on the Cameron School of Business (CSB) website. Interviews and a competitive schools analysis were conducted to determine the main goal of the system: to develop a means to streamline communication of and centralize CSB news and event information. A web based system was developed that allow all CSB faculty and staff to create and initiate announcements of news items and calendar events. This content is organized separately from the appearance on the Cameron School of Business’s website. The News and Event Content Management System (NECMS) leads each content piece through a process, including approvals where appropriate and automatically publishes to the CSB website once the content reaches all requirements in the process.This paper includes an analysis of the implementation of NECMS. CSB’s website design is briefly discussed in Section I. Section II suggests issues currently faced by CSB in providing news and event announcements to its audiences, and a competitive analysis of peer and aspiration schools is provided. System benefits are explored in section V. Section IV provides a NECMS system description, detailing key features. In Section V, development methodologies are compared and a single methodology adopted. Section VI gives technologies used and skills learned. Lastly, system limitations and future enhancements are provided in section VII.
