New York, NY - RedDot Solutions, (http://www.reddot.com/), a leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, today announced that the Pennsylvania State University's Administrative Information Services (AIS) - a unit of the University's Information Technology Services (ITS) - has selected RedDot's Content Management Solutions, Professional, as their departmental solution for Web content management. RedDot's CMS was selected for its sophisticated architecture, that will enable AIS to provide a secure content management environment and simplistic interface, enabling instant usability.

"AIS's mission to deliver valuable information to our administrative computing users is as much a priority as it is to deliver the same quality and resources to our internal staff. That is why content security and ease-of-use are such important elements in maintaining our Web presence," said Beth Hayes, Lead Project Coordinator/Web Developer, Administrative Information Services, Pennsylvania State University. "RedDot has the secure environment and flexibility we sought to integrate into our existing platform without interrupting the system in place. The fact that any one of our staff can quickly adopt and use RedDot's CMS was also an attractive option."
The AIS Web site is the online resource for Penn State's administrative computing users. It serves as the primary informational resource for users of AIS through intuitive, efficient mechanisms for locating information about and obtaining access to administrative systems and support facilities. The site mission includes enhancing the efficiencies of administrative computing users by providing functional, timesaving tools and current information.

"RedDot's sophisticated system is designed for rapid adoption by users and recognizes the value of content and how it affects business processes within an organization, to both internal and external communities," said Detlef Kamps, president of RedDot Solutions. "AIS has high standards when it comes to its technical and business operations. RedDot will be instrumental in maintaining those high standards while maximizing the full potential of their Intranet, as well."

RedDot's content management suite is designed to overcome complex challenges inherent in managing large Web sites, Extranets and Intranets. Contributors are empowered with an easy-to-use solution enabling them to manage their online content themselves - without the need for technical expertise.
