New York, NY - RedDot Solutions, (http://www.reddot.com/), a leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, announced today that Lamar University, a member of the Texas State University System with 10,384 students in Beaumont, Texas, has selected RedDot to streamline content management for the University's Web site. RedDot was selected for its ease of use and comprehensive workflow capabilities.

"With more than 10,000 pages, Lamar University's Web site has always been managed on a decentralized model," said Brian Sattler, director of public relations and marketing at Lamar University. "The biggest challenge for Lamar's departments and colleges has been finding and retaining Web-savvy people to design and maintain our sites."
For many users the inability to manage their own content has resulted in aged materials, broken links, inconsistent design and poor maintenance creating many areas that have gone without adequate support for long periods of time, Sattler said.

"Clearly, we needed to move to a content management solution," Sattler said. "In reviewing offerings available in the market, RedDot was the best-fit for Lamar University. We were equally impressed by the ease of use for the end user and the thoughtful workflow design evident in the software. Our Webmaster is quickly learning the new paradigm. We're excited about the possibilities RedDot brings."

"As we continue to aide educational institutions we are excited to see more universities following the lead of Lamar University in embracing a new paradigm of Web publishing," said Detlef Kamps, president of RedDot Solutions. "A paradigm where the content editor can participate more directly in the publishing process, alleviating inefficiencies in the conventional process. We look forward to partnering with Lamar to make this shift a reality."
