The project will be spearheaded by Elcom's Boston-based It service provider, CMIT Solutions, who will design and implement Elcom's CommunityManager.NET platform.
Dave Minker, owner of CMIT Solutions said the design will enable each department head or division manager at BFIT to have editorial control over content, which they could self-author and publish while maintaining the visual integrity and consistency of the site as designed and approved by the college's web committee.
"The way BFIT's current website is designed means that it can only be updated by someone with HTML coding experience," he said.
"Elcom's modular approach made it easier for us to customise a solution that had just the core elements required by BFIT, and thus help keep the upfront cost in line with the budget.
"At the same time it gives us the tools we need to expand the website if and when the college requires," he said.
CMIT is one of Elcom's first US-based partners and John Anstey, CEO at Elcom said the companies are looking at ways of working together on future projects.
"We're working with distributors in several other countries to demonstrate how easy and portable the CommunityManager.NET platform can be for any number of content management applications," said Anstey.
"We are actively seeking partners in Australia and around the world that we can train to sell and support the product as part of an extended solution set for their own customers."
