20. 121 web development teams and 1000s of users not communicating with each other
21.
22. Not all organisations have a dedicated and skilled team which can support or develop a CMS solution
23.
24. The NHS CMS Predicament... Fixing the problem?? Its clear that the NHS possess quality CMS solutions... DoH NHS Direct NHS Choices All of these sites must use tried and tested systems to publish content on the web
25.
26. A sponsored centralised solution could easily be developed using existing tools and methods that could then be shared out to any organisation wishing to use it
27.
28. Such a tool could even be released as open-source software using a GPL-like licence allowing organisations to re-develop and modify to their specific needs
45. Old external website… Developed in 2004 as a ‘quick fix’ Static HTML site Used Dreamweaver Templates Lacking in content Vastly out of date These issues led to off-shoot sites www.bhnft.nhs.uk
46. Off-shoot (rebel) sites... Barnsley PGME Barnsley Audiology Barnsley Dietetic and Nutrition Barnsley Healthy Workplace Barnsley ICT Services Nursing in the North North Trent Cancer Network Barnsley Pathology Services Staff Support Services
48. Off-shoot (rebel) sites... Barnsley PGME Barnsley Audiology Barnsley Dietetic and Nutrition Barnsley Healthy Workplace To help maintain and streamline development of these sites and after a lengthy search I had actually procured a pretty decent open-source ASP.Net CMS: Umbraco (www.umbraco.org) Barnsley ICT Services Nursing in the North North Trent Cancer Network Barnsley Pathology Services Staff Support Services
54. Using PHP/MySQL… Getting PHP/MySQL in the organisation was one of the greatest challenges I faced as a web developer In the end it came down to money…. In order to build upon the Umbraco CMS I insisted that we would require the Pro (supported) AND some expert training as I had little or no time to learn Umbracoto the required level
61. Losing Umbraco… Umbraco is one of the very few decent FREE ASP.Net open-source CMS’s but in my opinion it can’t compete with the WordPress experience
62. Reasons for re-development Umbraco In-house CMS (Classic ASP) Static HTML Inconsistency in front-end design and back end technology This went on for a number of years before being addressed
63. Reasons for re-development... Core external site was underdeveloped and out of date Relevant Hospital content was stretched over multiple websites The Hospital brand was not strongly reflected on any of the existing sites No clear CMS strategy – ‘anything goes’
