Why should I use a CMS designed for universities?

The demands of universities have changed in a short amount of time. Whether you’re speaking to prospective students, your lecturers or the public at large, your web properties and CMS are at the centre of all your communications. So even if you renewed your CMS quite recently, it’s very possible that it can no longer meet the demands of your university.

Codiance Higher has been built specifically to meet the demands of universities today. So whether you’re integrating SITS course data into your workflow, or preparing for your next clearing event, Codiance Higher can provide the specific support and functionality you need.

Built on Umbraco infrastructure

Umbraco is an enterprise-grade content management system (CMS) built on the.NET framework, making it super-secure, reliable and fast. Our customers love its intuitive nature, rich features, security, flexibility and ease of scale. It's often called the 'friendly CMS' thanks to its simple user interface and easy editing features.
