"Ektron was the right solution for our site relaunch. As well as giving our departments ownership of their content, Ektron has helped us meet the public’s need for up-to-date information during emergency situations."
The County of Santa Barbara government is committed to providing excellent and cost-effective public services to promote a high quality of life for all residents. The goals for their new site dictated a solution that could be implemented easily, learned quickly, and be used anytime, anywhere for emergency communications.
Challenges
- Provide a content management platform where authorized
personnel can update the site anytime, anywhere in a consistent
manner.
- Implement immediate functionality, but have a solution flexible
enough for customization to meet specific needs.
Results
- Multi-site Deployment: Multiple sites with consistent content and a branded look-and-feel were created through one installation. A “Library” provides a shared area where common images, links and other useful items can be stored, helping to reinforce a consistent look-and-feel.
- Shared Content: Site administrators can push a single instance of information to multiple locations without version or content discrepancies. Press releases are automatically posted in multiple areas based on metadata.
- Customized Search with Guided Results: Leads visitors to the most appropriate information based on search terms.
