UC Davis CMS Survey

October 24th, 2007 — 11:12 am — Dave

Those folks who are interested in higher ed might find this interesting. UC Davis did a survey of higher ed institutions and their CMS choices. You can check out the results of the survey along with a blog post that summarizes the content.

My take away stats:

  • 129 folks responded which I think is a good catch. The list of institutions. Didn’t realize our very own OIT responded.
  • 42 out of 84 CMS deployments identified were of the campus-wide variety. I’m sort of surprised this number is so high. Depts. move faster than us centralized resources.
  • The vast majority of those surveyed have only rolled out 0-40 sites with their solution. So we got that beat :)
  • Along with that (because of that?) most CMS installs don’t have very many people involved with them.

The last two points are kind of disheartening for me. At least in the sense that if you spend all time I’d hope it’d reach more. But maybe this is my big school-bias showing.

There’s lots of extra info if you check out their blog post along with their own points.
