Look Out for New Sites and Roles in Cascade 6.0

By Chris Armistead

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 at 2:45pm

I wanted to give all our users a heads-up about the upcoming release of Cascade Server 6.0 slated for the end of this month.  The winter quarterly feature release of our award-winning CMS solution will contain two major additions:  New Roles and Sites.  Both of these features are intended to help manage large Cascade implementations, more users, and more highly de-centralized, independent business units.

Cascade 5.5 added Custom Roles which allowed administrators to toggle the available abilities of the 5 default/pre-defined roles available with Cascade.  New Roles in Cascade 6.0 will give administrators the ability to cre

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 at 3:45pm

As many of our users already know, we recently launched the Cascade Server Success Community.  The Success Community is our finest effort yet to bring the entire Cascade Server user community together in one place.  This new collaborative space has already provided Cascade Server users with a tremendous platform for discovering new best practices and discussing ways to improve future releases.

Previously, making feature suggestions was limited to those users listed as their organization's JIRA support contact.  The more inclusive Success Community offers all Cascade users the opportunity to make suggestions and engage in discus

The 2008 EDUCAUSE Conference took place in sunny Orlando, FL (quite a change from Seattle, the site of last year's conference), and three of Hannon Hill's own were fortunate enough to attend-- myself, along with Emily Macke, Solutions Consultant, and Morgan Griffith, Marketing Director.  EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association whose mission is to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology.  As the conference attracts thousands of technology professionals from higher education institutions (where our client base is strongest) across the country, it's a perfect showcase for Hannon Hill to inform t

50 Sites: The University of Richmond and Cascade Server

By Sam Beresford

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 at 12:50pm

Founded in 1830, the University of Richmond is a private, highly selective liberal arts university located just west of downtown Richmond, Virginia, and is consistently listed in the top 25 of the U.S. News & World Report ranking of the best liberal arts universities in the nation.  Before becoming a Hannon Hill client, the school's web operations faced large hurdles; many websites hadn't been modernized in 4 years and were managed by a patchwork of programs and a homemade CMS, and they were difficult to integrate into the university's overall marketing plan.

After adopting Cascade Server, the university's Web Services Office, led by Eri

Latest Case Study: University of Alaska Southeast

By Sam Beresford

Thursday, October 30th, 2008 at 8:00am

The University of Alaska Southeast is a regional university in the University of Alaska system, with a main campus in Juneau and two extended campuses in Sitka and Ketchikan.  As the region's center for baccalaureate and graduate education, a robust and easy-to-update web presence is a must.  While UAS now has a network of websites and systems that are highly organized, centrally managed, and full of robust content, their pre-Cascade Server web presence was quite a different story.  Take a look at our latest case study, where we explore the challenges, solutions, and results experienced by the University of Alaksa Southeast as
