Managing a university website shouldn't be this hard…
Faculty update course descriptions in three different places. Students search for information and find outdated versions. IT teams maintain systems that don't talk to each other. Your recruitment team can't launch a multilingual version without a 6-month project.
CampusCMS fixes this. One platform for everything – course catalogs, faculty profiles, news, events, student portals. Integrated with USOS and LDAP. WCAG compliant. Launch in 4-6 weeks.

How CampusCMS works
CampusCMS is a ready-to-deploy CMS for higher education built on Drupal. You get a pre-configured system with everything universities need, without starting from scratch. It's a site template, not a custom distribution – after installation, you manage it like any standard Drupal website, which means any Drupal developer or agency can maintain and extend it.
